Ford showcased the new 2025 Mustang GTD at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans to hype up the supercar’s European debut. The limited edition Mustang was decked out in the new Carbon Series trim and the optional Performance package.
The Mustang GTD is a street-legal version of the Mustang GT3, which just placed third in the LMGT3 category at Le Mans. It has a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine that produces over 800 horsepower, an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, a carbon fiber body and driveshaft, and adjustable ride height and suspension.
To help the car achieve its estimated top speed of 190 mph, the Mustang GTD comes standard with front fender vents, a carbon fiber rear wing, and carbon ceramic brakes. The Performance pack improves aerodynamics even further with a large splitter up front, dive planes, underbody flaps, and a modified rear wing. The optional package upgrades the wheels from aluminum to magnesium.
The Carbon Series trim is simply addition by subtraction: large parts of the hood, roof, and the rear Tech Deck are left unpainted in this colorway to showcase the body’s material.
This European press push also gives us a detailed look at the Mustang GTD’s interior. The car comes standard with Recaro racing seats, a 12.4-in digital instrument display, and a 13.2-in infotainment touchscreen.
The steering wheel and paddle shifters are worth taking a closer look though. The Mustang GTD has large 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters, while the steering wheel comes with buttons to adjust the exhaust as well as the firmness of the suspension.
There’s also a handy button to toggle Track Mode, which lowers the ride height by about 40 mm.
Last but definitely not least, the rear of the Mustang GTD has a large window that showcases the rear suspension and adaptive dampers.
With the Mustang GTD’s pedigree, racing tech, and limited production run, track enthusiasts have to submit an application for the privilege to empty their bank accounts. Price estimates vary across countries, but it goes as high as $510,000 (USD) when converted.
