Hey everybody, how’s it going? Welcome back to our blog. Hope you’re having a great day. Recently, Ford just dropped incredible news about the new GTD, specifically about a feature that’s going to be standard on every single one.
What’s New in 2025 Ford Mustang GTD?
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD introduces several exciting new features and improvements that set it apart as a true supercar.
First off, the Mustang GTD incorporates advanced GT3 racing technology, providing full racing capabilities. This includes an inboard semi-active suspension with a pushrod setup mounted horizontally, a feature typically reserved for high-end race cars.
One of the standout features is the polycarbonate window with carbon fiber edging. This window offers a clear view of the advanced suspension system in the rear. Inspired by McLaren’s design, this feature comes standard in the GTD, unlike McLaren’s expensive option.
The GTD also boasts a hydraulic lowering system. In track mode, the car can hydraulically lower itself about an inch and a half, compressing one of the springs to double the spring rates. This improves handling, deceleration, and cornering grip, enhancing overall track performance.
Equipped with Cup 2 R tires, known for their exceptional performance on the track, the GTD outperforms with faster lap times and consistent high-speed performance. These tires are a step above the standard Cup 2 tires, contributing to its superior track capabilities.
Under the hood, the GTD packs over 800 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful Mustangs ever. This immense power, combined with its advanced suspension and aerodynamic enhancements, makes it a formidable contender on the racetrack.
Adding to its track prowess, the GTD features 325 front tires and 345 rear tires, providing a wide contact patch for improved grip and stability during high-speed maneuvers.
The car also includes active aerodynamic features, which aren’t allowed in GT3 racing, giving it an edge in terms of performance and handling.
Ford is targeting a sub-seven-minute lap time at the Nürburgring with the GTD, putting it in competition with some of the world’s greatest supercars, like the Porsche GT3 RS and Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
Interior Updates
Step inside the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, and you’ll find a cabin that perfectly blends the comfort of a street car with the adrenaline of a race car. Imagine sinking into Recaro bucket front seats, designed to keep you snug during high-speed maneuvers while providing the luxury you’d expect from a premium vehicle.
But it’s not just about comfort; it’s also about the details. The interior features a mix of suede, leather, and carbon fiber, creating an atmosphere that’s as stylish as it is sporty. And then there are the 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters and rotary dial gear selector, giving you a taste of cutting-edge technology every time you shift gears.
What’s truly unique is the source of the titanium used in these components – it’s actually recycled from retired Lockheed Martin F-22 fighter jets, adding a touch of history and innovation to your driving experience.
And if you’re wondering about space, the GTD makes a clever sacrifice. While the rear seats are removed for weight reduction, it actually creates more room for cargo, making it practical for everyday use.
Ford also offers a range of interior color and equipment options, so you can customize your GTD to reflect your personality.
