Experience the Unmatched Excitement of the 2025 Ford Mustang

It's More Outrageous Than The Race Car It Is Based On While the Mustang GT3 (the race car from which the GTD draws its DNA) has to comply with racing regulations, the GTD faces no such limitations. That means no power caps, no restrictions on active aerodynamics, and no compromises for parity. The results are nothing short of jaw-dropping. In 2024, it made history as the first American production car to break the seven-minute barrier around the Nürburgring. Then, in 2025, it went even further, becoming the fourth-fastest production sports car to ever lap the legendary track. And that's especially impressive when you consider it's a front-engined machine. It Borrows Its Heart From the Shelby GT500 Powering the Mustang GTD is a slightly modified version of the Shelby GT500's snarling supercharged 5.2-liter V8. Output has climbed from 760 horsepower to 815, and the redline has stretched to 7,500 RPM. To handle the punishment of track days, the engine swaps out a traditional oil pan for a dry-sump system, ensuring every cylinder stays slick through high-G corners. And when it's time to put power to the ground, expect launch control and massive rubber to do the heavy lifting. Ford fits 345-section Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Rs on the rear and 325-section up front, some of the widest tires ever seen on a production car. It Ain't Your Average Pony The Mustang GTD begins life at Ford's Flat Rock plant, just like any other Mustang, but that's where the similarities end. It's then shipped to Multimatic in Canada, where the real transformation takes place. The rear shell is re-engineered to house a Tremec eight-speed transaxle, kept cool by a dedicated unit on the trunk lid. And aside from aluminum door skins, the body is all carbon fiber. The model also gets a bespoke suspension setup with adaptive spool-valve dampers, carbon-ceramic brakes, forged aluminum wheels (forged magnesium wheels are available), a carbon-fiber driveshaft, cooling front fender vents, a pair of Recaro seats, carbon-fiber wings, 3-D-printed rotary shifters, and shift paddles made from the titanium parts of retired Lockheed Martin F-22 jets.

Muscular Engine Performance With this edition of the F-150, you have your choice between both V6 and V8 engines, depending on which trim level you go with. The smallest engine, a 2.7-liter V6, provides 325 horsepower, while the largest option is a 5.2-liter V8 that generates 720 horsepower. There's also a 3.5-liter full hybrid V6 that's both fuel-savvy and strong with its 430-horsepower output, and towing maxes out at an impressive 13,500 pounds with another 3.5-liter V6 that has 400 horses. Reliable Off-Roading Versatility Taking the truck into nature is easy when opting for the available four-wheel-drive system. Select trims come with many standard enhancements for off-roading, including an electronic-locking rear differential for extra traction, axle upgrades, and Trail Control, which acts like a cruise control when driving at slower speeds.

Convenient Tech Features This truck's many innovative tech highlights include 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability and the SYNC 4 infotainment system as standard features, as well as the available Pro Power Onboard mobile electricity generator. A wireless charging pad is also available, and gauging driving info without having to look at the instrument cluster behind the wheel is easy with the optional full-color head-up display. Also, with the FordPass app, you can perform many functions from a distance, including remote start/stop. Advanced Safety Systems Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 also comes with this edition, which is a suite of driver-assist features that includes collision-avoidance systems like BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow Coverage, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, Pre-Collision Assist, and Lane-keeping System.
