Reaching vision-blurring top speeds and handling like an extension of the driver’s body, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD blurs the line between pony cars and supercars. However, its limited production run means that only a few lucky owners in O’Fallon will own the mighty Mustang GTD.
Introducing the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD: Performance Unleashed
Supercharged V8
Pop open the Mustang GTD’s hood, and you will be greeted by a supercharged 5.2L Predator V8. The powerplant was developed by the division of Ford that handles motorsport activities, Ford Performance, and features many race-oriented technologies. For instance, the engine comes with a dry sump oil system that pushes the redline to 7,650 RPM and prevents oil starvation when cornering at high speeds.
With all eight cylinders and several race-bred components working together, the Predator engine kicks out a monstrous 815 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that doubles the adrenaline rush the supercar’s acceleration exudes. On the track, the Mustang GTD reaches a breathtaking top speed of 202 mph.
Akrapovic Exhaust
For optimum performance, the supercharged engine requires a motorsport-grade exhaust system that can withstand fiery hot temperatures. To meet this demand, the Mustang GTD offers an available titanium Akrapovic exhaust with an active valve system. The dual-pipe system resists heat corrosion, amplifies the engine’s ear-splitting roar, and reduces the supercar’s curb weight.
Carbon Fiber Design
The Mustang GTD reduces overall weight by incorporating carbon fiber in its design. The driveshaft, body panels, rear wing, and available underbody aerodynamic tray are made of lightweight carbon fiber, increasing the supercar’s power-to-weight ratio. This improves acceleration and reduces inertia, allowing the supercar to explode off the line and handle corners with minimal difficulty.
Semi-Active Suspension
A semi-active suspension system with Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) technology underpins the Mustang GTD. The setup consists of inboard-rear suspension with excellent lateral stiffness and semi-active damping, reducing body roll and greatly improving traction. Additionally, the shocks can lower the supercar’s ride height by 40 mm on the track, helping it cut through air resistance.
Drag Reduction System
The supercar relies on a Drag Reduction System (DRS) to balance downforce generation with drag reduction. The system works by using hydraulics to control the main wing element, front underbody flaps, and several other components. When cornering at high speeds, the DRS creates an integrated airfoil for additional downforce by closing the wing and flaps. This keeps the wheels planted on the road, helping the supercar achieve a sub-7-minute Nürburgring lap time.
