Although it wears the iconic Mustang nameplate and superficially resembles a pony car, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is a thoroughbred track monster featuring a supercharged V8, a carbon-fiber body, track-focused suspension, and a driver-focused cockpit. The supercar is the ultimate pick for high-performance enthusiasts looking for the edge of street legality.
Power and Performance
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is propelled by a Ford Performance-engineered supercharged 5.2L V8 that redlines at a screaming 7,650 RPM. It is the most powerful engine placed in a production Mustang, producing a soul-stirring roar via the Akrapovic exhaust and delivering 815 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission manages power delivery, providing lightning-fast shifts to lower your track times. On the track, the Mustang GTD reaches a vision-blurring top speed of 202 MPH.
Dream-Like Handling
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD clears bends and corners effortlessly with its surgically precise handling. Some of its handling prowess comes from the supercar’s lightweight body, which is achieved by the use of carbon fiber in the body panels, aero rear wing, underbody aerodynamic tray, and drive shaft. This translates to a track-dominating power-to-weight ratio and reduced inertia when turning at high speeds. Additionally, the supercar features a rear-mounted transaxle, negating the front-mounted engine’s weight for nearly 50-50 weight distribution.
A semi-active suspension underpins the Mustang GTD, providing adaptive damping to optimize traction on the track and road. It is also the first suspension system of its kind to provide a dual-ride height feature. Upon arriving at the track, drivers can press a button to lower the vehicle’s ground clearance by 40 mm, improving aerodynamic efficiency and reducing body roll.
Forged Carbon Ceramic Brakes
To ensure rapid deceleration as soon as you press the brake pedal, the supercar comes equipped with forged carbon ceramic Brembo performance brakes. The setup consists of six-piston anti-lock front brakes and large rotors. 325 mm front and 345 mm rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are standard to put as much rubber on the road as possible, greatly reducing skidding when you brake at high speeds.
Driver-Focused Cockpit
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD’s cockpit features a digitized dashboard and hand-tailored RECARO seats, reminding occupants that they are seated in a barely street-legal supercar. The 12.4-inch driver information panel and the 13.2-inch infotainment screen are merged into one large display to provide easily accessible readouts. The infotainment system runs on Unreal Engine, which is Epic Games’ advanced gaming engine, generating life-like graphics and animations in real time to aid the driver.
