2025 Ford Mustang GTD: Unleashing Track-Ready Power on the Streets

2025 Ford Mustang GTD: Unleashing Track-Ready Power on the Streets

Race-Bred Performance

The GTD smokes every car you meet on the street with 815 horsepower, produced by a monstrous Predator 5.2L supercharged V8 that redlines at 7,650 RPM. The engine was designed by Ford Performance, the division of Ford that handles motorsport activities. It comes mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and roars through the F-22 fighter-jet-grade titanium exhaust. When properly equipped, the GTD is capable of reaching a top speed of 202 mph.

Supercar Handling Capabilities

Taking on the Nürburgring circuit requires exceptional cornering capabilities to handle all 73 bends. The GTD is more than equipped with its perfect 50:50 weight distribution and semi-active suspension. It achieves its balance using a lightweight carbon fiber driveshaft, which is connected to the 8-speed rear transaxle. Meanwhile, the short-long arm front suspension enhances grip by maintaining stiffness when driving around Newark streets or cornering at high speeds.

Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) technology further improves the performance car’s handling. The system provides predictable suspension damping to match road conditions and can lower the ride height by 1.57 inches in Track mode.

Advanced Braking System

To produce braking power sufficient to bring all 815 horsepower to a halt, the GTD is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes. The six-piston Brembo anti-lock front brakes can rapidly bleed the performance car’s speed on the track or street. To keep the front brakes from overheating, Ford engineers add front fender vents that direct airflow directly to the braking system.

Carbon Fiber Body

The GTD’s carbon fiber build makes it lightweight and durable, conserving fuel on the streets while adding speed and rigidity for the track. Formed carbon fiber body panels, the carbon fiber driveshaft, and the carbon fiber rear spoiler shave hundreds of pounds from conventional aluminum designs without compromising structural integrity. The titanium exhaust system further reduces weight while also resisting extreme temperatures.

Aerodynamic Styling

The sculpted body gives the GTD an aggressive look on the streets, resembling modern Mustang muscle cars. Every design cue serves a functional purpose while adding to the vehicle’s looks. For instance, the aerodynamic rear wing increases downforce at high speeds, and the multipurpose front fender vents reduce lift and drag by avoiding air pressure buildup inside the wheel arches.
