Mustang GTD Archives - Brochureshub

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.

The Ford Mustang GTD showed all its power on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

The world’s most famous endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will take place this weekend, where Ford will reveal the most powerful and most expensive Mustang, the Ford Mustang GTD. Now we have the first photos of the interior, and customers will be able to choose the optional Performance package.

Most of the car body is made from carbon fiber. It is equipped with multi-adjustable suspension and a set of ultra-lightweight 20″ center-lock rims wrapped in 325mm front and 345mm rear road-legal Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 tires. Under the bonnet is 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.

This limited edition will be produced for only two years, and in order to ensure that the 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. It will be Ford’s answer to the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it will cost over 300,000 euros.

Greg Goodall, head of the engineering department in charge of this model, is confident that the car will show its full potential on the track, primarily the Nürburgring Nordschleife. He believes that the Mustang GTD is capable of completing a 20 km lap in less than seven minutes. He also revealed that during intensive testing in North America, GTD spent a lot of time at the Virginia International and Sebring circuits.
