In 2021, a special team at Ford embarked on a mission to design a Mustang capable of competing with the best European sports cars. The result? The all-new 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, a car like no Mustang ever before.
Unveiled to the world during Monterey Car Week when the world’s greatest and most exclusive performance and luxury cars come to the forefront among enthusiasts and collectors, the Mustang GTD stands as a technological marvel, inspired by the Mustang GT3 that’s set to grace the track at Le Mans next year. Every element of the GTD screams performance, from the predominantly carbon fiber body to the rear wing that looms as a testament to its capabilities.

The performance of the GTD doesn’t just bend the rules—it shatters them. Ford’s CEO, Jim Farley, emphasizes that the GTD isn’t merely a road car engineered for the track; it’s a race car unleashed for the streets. Drawing technology directly from the Mustang GT3 race car and wrapping it in a carbon fiber shell, the GTD is built to be the fastest road-going Mustang ever to be developed by Ford.
Beyond its stunning exterior, what powers the GTD is just as compelling. Driven by a symphonic supercharged 5.2-liter V8 targeting an estimated 800 horsepower, it’s a rocketship for the road. The GTD’s engineering, aerodynamics, and powertrain work are obsessive in nature. Aerodynamic performance at track speed is driven by features like the front splitter, vented hood, and the hydraulically controlled active rear wing.
The aerodynamics aren’t the only racing-inspired element. The carbon fiber body panels, comprehensive underbody aerodynamic tray, and race-inspired cooling system make this machine more track warrior than a mere performance car. Massive downforce across both axles and the 345-millimeter rear tires mounted on 20-inch forged wheels promise cornering speed like never before.
The Mustang GTD is more than just raw power and speed; it’s also a product of advanced innovation. With a state-of-the-art semi-active suspension, variable traction control in track mode, and over-the-air software updates, the GTD embraces the future of automotive technology.
On the inside, the cockpit is adorned in premium materials like Miko™ suede paired with leather and carbon fiber. The 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters and rear seating removal for weight reduction highlight the car’s track-focused demeanor.
At an MSRP of approximately $300,000, the Mustang GTD is set to be a limited-edition phenomenon. Handcrafted for racing precision, it’s expected to be available in late 2024 or early 2025.
In the words of Ford’s CEO, Jim Farley, the Mustang GTD represents the best of Ford and encapsulates the transformation the company is going through. From software to special edition cars like the GTD, it’s about pushing boundaries. The gauntlet has been thrown down; the Mustang GTD is a statement not just to other auto bosses but to the world that Ford is ready to redefine what a supercar can be.
