The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is a track-focused, street-legal performance vehicle engineered as a homologation-style special. Developed alongside the Mustang GT3 race car, the GTD integrates motorsport-derived technology into a road car format.
At the core is a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine, targeting over 800 horsepower. It utilizes a dry sump oiling system, enabling consistent lubrication during high-G cornering and reducing engine height for improved center of gravity. The redline exceeds 7,500 RPM. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed rear-mounted dual-clutch transaxle, contributing to a near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution.
The Mustang GTD rides on a semi-active suspension with adaptive spool-valve dampers developed by Multimatic. The system features hydraulically adjustable ride height. In Track Mode, the car lowers by approximately 40 millimeters, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency and handling precision. The front suspension uses unequal-length control arms, while the rear features an integral link design, both tuned for high-performance cornering loads.
Aerodynamically, the car employs an active rear wing, integrated with a hydraulically controlled Drag Reduction System. Underbody components include a full carbon fiber belly pan with venturi tunnels to generate downforce. Optional aerodynamic enhancements include carbon fiber front splitters, dive planes, and rear diffusers. At speed, the car produces significant downforce, improving lateral grip and high-speed stability.
Braking is managed by carbon ceramic rotors—400 millimeters in front with six-piston Brembo calipers. The system is designed for repeated high-speed deceleration with minimal fade. The wheels are forged magnesium, available in 20-inch diameter, reducing unsprung mass and improving responsiveness. Tire specification includes Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R, sized 325 in front and 345 in rear, mounted on 11.5 and 12.5 inch-wide wheels respectively.
The GTD also includes a titanium active-valve exhaust system, a front trunk due to the transaxle configuration, and extensive use of carbon fiber for the body panels, contributing to a targeted curb weight below 3,900 pounds.
Performance figures include a projected Nürburgring lap time under 7 minutes, and 0–60 mph acceleration estimated in the low 3-second range. Top speed is electronically limited but expected to exceed 190 mph.
Pricing starts at approximately $300,000 USD. Production will be limited, with availability beginning in late 2024. Given its motorsport pedigree, carbon composite materials, and performance engineering, the GTD positions itself as a high-value offering relative to exotic track-focused vehicles in the same price category.
