The high-performance Ford Mustang GTD is heading to Europe after a successful series of extensive testing in North America. The Mustang GTD will make its debut in June at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, followed by European road testing and a timed run at the Nürburgring.
Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall expressed, ““We’ve tested the Mustang GTD in North America extensively, including laps at Sebring International Raceway and Virginia International Raceway. This has all been in service of engineering a car that can lap the Nurburgring in under seven minutes. Moving onto European roads and dedicated test sessions at the Nurburgring is the next step, ahead of a timed run later this year.”
Following its European debut at Le Mans, the Mustang GTD will grace events such as the 24 Hours of Spa and the Goodwood Festival of Speed, showcasing its performance against Europe’s elite.
Applications to own a GTD closed in North America with over 7,500 interested buyers, many of whom are motorsport enthusiasts. Now, Europe gets its chance as applications for the limited-production 2025 and 2026 Mustang GTD models are about to begin.
“With Mustang GTD, we set out to build a road-going race car with the heart of a Mustang and the will to beat Europe’s best. Since opening applications to North American consumers, we’ve seen customers respond to that motivation,” said Mustang GTD Brand Manager Jim Owens. “Whether they own a rival’s sports car or have another Mustang in the stable, the Mustang GTD’s race-derived performance is registering.”
Ford will be also releasing an online series highlighting the car’s engineering prowess and its cutting-edge technology. This captivating content will be accessible across various social media platforms and Ford’s official channels, providing enthusiasts with the latest updates.
