The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is a vehicle that rides the very edge of what’s physically possible in a street-legal car. With unbelievable power, advanced materials, and a high-tech cockpit, it’s a driving experience like no other. Here’s why the Mustang GTD puts the “super” in supercar.
Experience Unleashed Power in the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD
Cutting-Edge Power
When the Ford Performance team designed the 5.2-liter supercharged engine at the heart of the Mustang GTD, they knew they had something special. The power plant delivers a staggering 815 horsepower to the rear wheels, which is a major part of what enabled the Mustang GTD to deliver on the promise of a sub-7 minute lap time at the grueling Nürburgring circuit.
But offering the most horsepower ever found on a street-legal Mustang also required innovation never before released in a production model. Keeping the engine lubricated under the strain of high-g turns and required that it be fed its oil by a dry-sump oil system, the first of its kind on a street-legal Mustang.
Weight and Aerodynamics
Maximizing performance at the highest level doesn’t just require a mighty motor. It also means keeping weight down and properly distributed. Ford pulled high-strength, low-weight materials from every source they could find, including decommissioned F-22 Raptor fighter jets, to make the Mustang GTD. The driveshaft is made of carbon fiber. The exhaust system is made of titanium. Even the paddle shifters and serial plate are made from titanium.
Aerodynamics also plays a huge role in maintaining performance. At the kind of track speeds the Mustang GTD can achieve, a rear-wheel drive car’s nose tends to want to rise. Ford carefully tuned the aerodynamics using advanced concepts like vented front fenders to cool the standard Brembo brakes and reduce both lift and drag. They also included a massive carbon-fiber spoiler to help keep the nose firmly planted even at top speed.
A Commanding Cockpit
Sit behind the wheel of the Mustang GTD and you’ll find an expanse of screens designed for maximum information flow. A 12.4-inch digital cluster and 13.2-inch center infotainment screen are customizable and powered by the Unreal Engine for next-level graphics. Gauges can display everything from G-forces and air/fuel ratios to engine oil pressure and oil temperatures. The result? The ability to fine-tune your driving based on vehicle conditions.
The Mustang GTD also has a neat trick when it’s time to take to the track. In an industry first, the Mustang GTD can be lowered by almost 40mm from inside the cockpit, helping maximize performance on the track. An available semi-active suspension and hydraulic control system help maximize performance, soaking up bumps both on the track and off.
Power like this has to be driven to be believed. Test drive a 2025 Mustang today at Murray Ford of Starke in Starke, FL.
