The Mustang GTD is the most powerful, most advanced Mustang ever built. acking 815 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque from a 5.2L supercharged V8, it features tech derived from racing: a rear-mounted transaxle for ideal weight balance, pushrod suspension visible through the rear window, titanium exhaust, carbon fiber panels, and an active Drag Reduction System (DRS) designed to generate up to 2,000 pounds of downforce at 180 mph.
It’s built off the same body-in-white as a base EcoBoost Mustang, then sliced and transformed with extensive use of carbon fiber, bonded directly to the chassis. The suspension, brakes (Brembo carbon ceramics with massive 17-inch front rotors), aerodynamics, and materials are all race-grade, and yet it retains the comfort, connectivity, and usability of a daily drive
In a recent episode of Jay Leno’s Garage on YouTube, Jay welcomes a long-anticipated addition to his stable: the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD. What makes this moment even more significant is that he’s joined by none other than Ford CEO Jim Farley, who personally delivers the car and offers insight into the GTD’s development — a machine built to challenge the best from Europe.
