2025 Ford Mustang GTD priced at approximately $325,000; orders now being accepted

Now you can compete for a production slot on the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, but getting your hands on this race-spec limited edition car is not as easy as paying a deposit.

Like the Ford GT Supercar, the Blue Oval is asking customers to apply for the opportunity to purchase a Mustang GTD. Applications are currently open for customers in the U.S. and Canada, with applications for Mexico, Europe, and the Middle East expected to open in June.

According to Ford, prices start at approximately $325,000, with North American deliveries expected to begin in late 2024 or early 2025. Customers can apply through a dedicated website.

Unveiled at the 2023 Monterey Car Week, the Mustang GTD takes its name from the IMSA GT Daytona class in which Mustang GT3 race cars compete, since the GTD is based on a race car. However, it is not constrained by racing rules and has more downforce, active aero, power, and bigger brakes to support bigger wheels than the Mustang GT3.

For the Mustang GTD, Ford worked with its previous GT partner, Canadian racing and engineering firm Multimatic; instead of a clean-sheet design like the GT, Ford and Multimatic started with a Mustang coupe body-in They started with the Mustang coupe body-in-white.

Unlike the road-going Mustang, however, the GTD uses an eight-speed dual-clutch rear transaxle that Ford claims provides near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution. This transaxle is connected via a carbon fiber driveshaft (one of the many components of the lightweight material used in the GTD) to a 5.2-liter V-8 engine targeting over 800 hp.

A standard hydraulically adjustable rear wing and front fender vents provide aerodynamic benefits, while an optional aerodynamic package offers additional benefits from a carbon fiber underbody aerodynamic tray and hydraulically controlled front air flaps.

The track, which is approximately 4 inches wider front and rear, allows Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires (325/30 front and 345/30 rear) to be mounted on 20-inch magnesium wheels. Inside these wheels is a Brembo carbon ceramic brake system with 16-inch-plus front rotors clamped by six-piston calipers and 14-inch-plus rear rotors clamped by four-piston calipers.

Ford does not claim a 0-60 mph time or a top speed, but it is believed to be aiming for a lap time under 7 minutes on the German Nürburgring.
