The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD: Redefining Performance
Ford is pushing the boundaries of what its legendary pony car can achieve on both the road and the track with the imminent launch of the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD.
Unleashing Unprecedented Power
The Mustang GTD is equipped with a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine, which delivers a staggering 815 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. This engine, an evolution of the previous Mustang Shelby GT500’s powerplant, now features advanced elements such as dry-sump lubrication, a higher redline of 7,650 rpm, a more compact supercharger pulley, and a titanium exhaust system.
Top-Tier Performance Specifications
The 2025 Mustang GTD boasts a top speed of 202 mph. While this might seem modest next to the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye’s 203 mph, the GTD is designed with high-downforce aerodynamics to dominate racetracks. Ford asserts that it can complete a lap of the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, placing it among elite sports cars.
Advanced Technology and Design
The GTD is not just about raw power. It will feature sophisticated technologies to enhance performance, including:
- Active Aerodynamics: Incorporates a drag reduction system akin to those found in Formula 1 racing.
- Suspension System: Uses Multimatic’s Adaptive Spool Valve (ASV) dampers, which balance stiffness for track prowess and pliability for road use.
Exclusive and Limited Production
Ford will produce the Mustang GTD for the 2025 and 2026 model years, with an undisclosed number of units. Interested buyers must undergo an application process, with Ford having received over 7,500 applications in North America during the initial round.
Production and Pricing
Set to commence production later this year, the Mustang GTD will have a starting price of around $325,000. Buyers aiming to fully exploit the car’s potential will have options for Performance and Lightweight packages.
Conclusion
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD represents a significant leap in performance and technology for the iconic pony car. With its combination of brute force, sophisticated aerodynamics, and advanced suspension, the GTD promises to deliver an unparalleled driving experience, both on and off the track.
