Ford has just unveiled the all-new 2025 Mustang GTD, the most powerful and advanced Mustang ever built. Boasting an incredible 815 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, this high-performance machine sets a new benchmark for street-legal Mustangs, with a blistering top speed of 202 miles per hour. The GTD is engineered to deliver world-class performance, utilizing advanced aerodynamics, cutting-edge carbon-ceramic brakes, and a sophisticated inboard-rear suspension system with semi-active dampers, all designed to maximize performance on both road and track.

At the heart of the Ford Mustang GTD is a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine, a refinement of the iconic Mustang powerplant that includes a first-ever dry-sump oil system. This system ensures optimal lubrication during aggressive cornering, while also allowing the engine to rev higher—up to 7,650 rpm. Key updates like a revised intake and exhaust, a standard titanium exhaust system, and a smaller supercharger pulley contribute to the car’s breathtaking performance figures. These enhancements ensure that the GTD is not only fast but also capable of competing with supercars on a global scale.

What truly sets the Mustang GTD apart is its combination of raw power and advanced technology. Equipped with a Drag Reduction System, the car can adjust its rear wing and front flaps to optimize airflow for either top speed or downforce, depending on the driving conditions. Ford has made it clear that the GTD is not just about straight-line speed but is also designed to dominate on the track. With its Nürburgring lap time expected to come in under seven minutes, the Ford Mustang GTD is poised to redefine what a production Mustang is capable of.

In a time when high-performance sports cars face increasing technological shifts, this is a standout moment for both Mustang fans and the entire sports car world.
