In June, Ford presented the most powerful and most expensive Mustang ever, which unleashed all its power on one of the most famous tracks, the Nürburgring Nordschleife, becoming the fastest American production car on this track.

On the 20.8 km long track, the Mustang GTD achieved a lap time of 6 minutes and 57.685 seconds, which is 4.3 seconds faster than the Dodge Viper ACR. Dirk Miller was the driver, and Ford is convinced that the Mustang GTD can achieve a better lap time, which they will prove next year.

This was announced by Greg Goodall, head of the engineering department in charge of this model, who said that he is confident that the Mustang GTD Coupé (with most of its carbon body panels and adaptive suspension/aerodynamics) will close the lap in less than seven minutes.

The Mustang GTD is powered by a 5.2-L Coyote V8 engine assisted by a mechanical supercharger with about 800 hp (597 kW) at 7,500 rpm, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
