2025 Ford Mustang GTD

Officially, the Ford Mustang was the best-selling sports car in the world in 2023, and now the most powerful and most expensive Mustang is coming to the market soon, the Ford Mustang GTD.

Ford has opened the order book, and it should be noted that this model will first be available to customers in North America, and from June it will also be available to customers in Europe. This model should be Ford’s answer to the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. In order to ensure that this car will not be resold and generate extra profit, buyers will have to get approval from Ford that they do not want to sell the car to people who will not drive it.

Most of the bodywork is made from carbon fiber, equipped with multi-adjustable suspension and a set of ultra-lightweight center-lock rims that are fitted with 325mm front and 345mm rear road-legal tires. The car will show its full potential on the track, primarily the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Ford is confident that on this most famous track, the Mustang GTD will achieve a lap time of less than seven minutes.

There is still no official information about the most powerful Mustang, and what is known so far is that it will be produced in limited numbers (1,000 units) and that it will be powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine assisted by a mechanical supercharger with about 800 hp (597 kW) paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

Each car will be hand-delivered to customers home and comes with access to GTD owner experiences. Price, $300,000 USD.

2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary

In 1964, Ford began production of a series of automobiles with the longest-produced car nameplate, the Ford Mustang. Six decades have passed since then, and on this occasion the American manufacturer will produce 1,965 copies of the special edition Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary.

Under the bonnet will be the familiar 5.0-L naturally aspirated V8 engine with 486 hp (362 kW) at 7,250 rpm and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque at 4,900 rpm. Power is sent to the rear axle via a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.

This model will be available to customers who opt for the Mustang GT version and will be able to choose between two body styles (Cabrio and Coupe) and three body colors that are matched to the colors in the richly equipped and leather-covered cabin with an unavoidable plaque that is a reminder of the special and numerically limited edition that will be on sale at the end of the year.

What sets this special edition apart from the standard version are lower side appliqués, honeycomb grille elements, and 20-inch wheels with red center caps that are modeled after those of the 1965 Mustang. The housings of the front lights are darkened, while the color of the rear-view mirror housings should be associated with chrome.

Ford Mustang stays loyal to the V8 engine

In 1964, Ford introduced a series of cars with, currently, the longest manufactured nameplate, the Ford Mustang. After six decades and six generations of this model, Ford still remains loyal to the V8 engine, despite the fact that most manufacturers have completely abandoned internal combustion engines.

The seventh generation will be powered by a 5-liter naturally aspirated Coyote V8 engine with 486 – 500 hp (362 – 373 kW), depending on the market. The Mustang is an icon of the American auto industry and has been one of the best-selling sports cars for years, and soon it could get a GTD version based on the Mustang GT3 racer. The GT3 was developed in cooperation with M-Sport and is powered by the Coyote engine-based 5.4L naturally aspirated V8. However, the GTD will be powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine with more than 800 hp (597 kW).

Their main competitors in the American market, Chevrolet and Dodge do not share the same opinion when it comes to V8 engines. The Camaro and Challenger models are no longer available with this type of engine, leaving muscle car fans without the sound of their thunder.

Last summer, Ford introduced the fully electric Mustang Mach-E Rally powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total output of 480 hp (353 kW) and 652 lb-ft (884 Nm) of torque. This caused a lot of resentment among fans of this model, and Ford tried to calm it down a bit with the Ford Mustang EcoBoost model, which is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 315 hp (235 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) of torque.
