The Ford Mustang GTD, a formidable supercar engineered for the track, is poised to redefine the boundaries of American performance. Equipped with a potent supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine and advanced technology, this machine is set to conquer the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit with an audacious goal: completing a lap in under seven minutes.
Such a feat would not only shatter existing records but also establish a new benchmark for American automotive prowess. The Mustang GTD’s exceptional power and handling characteristics are a testament to Ford’s engineering expertise.
Its aggressive design, coupled with cutting edge features like a drag reduction system, ensures that it is more than capable of challenging the fastest European supercars.
The vehicle’s potential to achieve a sub seven minute lap time at the Nurburgring is a testament to both its technological advancements and the dedication of the Ford team.
The Ford GT Mk1, with its 7 minutes and 52 seconds Nurburgring lap time, remains the fastest Ford ever. This record is even more impressive considering the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with its 6 minutes 49.328 seconds lap time, boasts more horsepower per liter.
Ford CEO Jim Farley aims for the Mustang GTD to surpass this benchmark. A 48-second teaser reveals the Mustang GTD’s aggressive stance. Advanced active aerodynamics, carbon ceramic brakes, and inboard rear suspension with semi active dampers are key to achieving this goal. Engineers have dedicated two years and countless hours to this pursuit.
Production will be limited to between 300 and 700 units annually in 2025 and 2026, resulting in a total of 1,400 cars. With a starting price of $325,000, a Nurburgring record would raise the Mustang GTD to a coveted collector’s car.
