The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is not just another pony car—it’s a full-blown, street-legal supercar born from the racetrack. Inspired by Ford’s Mustang GT3 race car, the GTD is a no-compromise machine built to dominate both the track and the streets. With over 800 horsepower under the hood, it’s the most powerful road-going Mustang ever made.
This limited-production supercar is designed to deliver an unparalleled driving experience, both on the track and the open road.
A Supercar with Mustang DNA
One thing is certain: the GTD appears to be unlike any other Mustang that you have ever seen, at least at first glance. A performance-shouting posture, flared fenders, aggressive aerodynamics, and a huge rear wing are all characteristics that demonstrate the seriousness with which this automobile approaches its performance.
In the process of designing the GTD, Ford intended to blur the divide that separates race cars from road vehicles; the end product is truly insane.
Release Date and Availability
Ford has announced that the Mustang GTD will enter production in late 2024, with first deliveries expected in early 2025. But here’s the catch: this isn’t a car you can just walk into a dealership and buy. Ford will be handpicking buyers through an application process, similar to what they did with the Ford GT. Only around 1,000 units are planned, making this one of the rarest Mustangs in history.
Price Tag: $325,000 of Raw Muscle
Yes, you read that right—$325,000. But for that price, you’re getting a hand-built performance machine that shares its DNA with professional race cars. It’s not just about straight-line speed; the GTD is designed to carve corners, stop on a dime, and dominate lap times.
Powertrain & Performance
Under the hood is a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 pumping out an astonishing 815 horsepower. That power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission mounted in the rear for better weight distribution. Ford claims a 0-60 mph time of around 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.
But it’s not just the numbers—it’s how the car delivers them. Thanks to advanced suspension tech from Multimatic and carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, the GTD is as precise as it is powerful. Whether you’re tracking it or enjoying a canyon run, this Mustang will keep you grinning.
Cutting-Edge Tech & Design
The GTD features active aerodynamics including a hydraulically controlled rear wing and a front splitter that adjusts on the fly. Its suspension system uses adaptive dampers to optimize handling in real time, while lightweight carbon fiber body panels help reduce weight and increase rigidity.
Inside, it’s all business. Think Recaro racing seats, carbon trim, and a digital cockpit that blends performance data with premium features. It’s a proper driver’s car—but still offers enough creature comforts to make daily driving possible (if you’re bold enough).
- Aerodynamics: Active aerodynamic elements, including a prominent rear wing, enhance downforce and stability.

How Does It Compare to Other Supercars?
The GTD isn’t trying to compete with just other Mustangs—it’s gunning for the likes of Porsche’s GT3 RS, Lamborghini Huracán STO, and even Ferrari’s V8 lineup. It’s Ford’s statement that American muscle can run with the world’s best, and in some cases, beat them.
And while the Mustang GTD carries a Mustang badge, it’s a different beast entirely. It may share the nameplate, but it plays in an entirely different league.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Mustang GTD is a bold, unapologetic take on what a modern American supercar can be. Limited, powerful, tech-loaded, and race-bred—this is more than a Mustang. It’s a legacy in the making.
For enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of owning a street-legal race car, the GTD delivers in spades. Just don’t expect it to be easy to get your hands on one.
