Mustang GTD is the Fastest, Most
Powerful Production Mustang in History
DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 16, 2024 – The
all-new 2025 Mustang GTD – the apex of any Mustang ever engineered by
Ford – sets a new performance bar with 815 horsepower, 664 pound-feet of
torque and a top speed of 202 miles per hour, the most of any
street-legal Mustang ever.
The certified horsepower and torque, along with the Mustang GTD’s
cutting-edge active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes, and
inboard-rear suspension with semi-active dampers are key elements as
Mustang GTD prepares to deliver on the promise of an official
sub-seven-minute lap of the Nürburgring.
"We’ve been laser focused since day 1 to make Mustang GTD the first-ever
supercar with world-class performance and the soul of a Mustang,” said
Mustang GTD Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall. “GTD's heart is its
supercharged 5.2-liter V8, packing more horsepower per liter than the
Porsche 911 GT3 RS.”
The supercharged 5.2-liter V8 improves on previous Mustang engines,
benefiting from Mustang’s first-ever dry-sump oil system that can help
keep the engine lubricated through sustained and demanding cornering.
That dry-sump oil system also enables a slightly elevated maximum engine
speed of 7,650 rpm, up 100 rpm from the previous 5.2-liter V8 maximum.
Revised intake and exhaust, a standard titanium exhaust, and a smaller
supercharger pulley help achieve the engine output ratings.
Beyond the power needed to achieve its 202 mph top speed, Mustang GTD
also features a Drag Reduction System that can change the angle of the
rear wing and activate flaps under the front of the car to find exactly
the right balance between airflow for speed and downforce for grip,
depending on performance conditions.
“We've combined the work of talented engineers and designers, as well as
an extremely capable driver, with Mustang GTD technology, power and
aerodynamics,” said Goodall. “We can’t wait to deliver on our
sub-7-minute promise to GTD customers.”
