The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is a street-legal, limited-edition coupe with a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine. It is inspired by the Ford Mustang GT3 slated to race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans next year, and has all of the aero vents and ducts of a race car -not to mention a leering rear wing.

The car offers active aerodynamics and 20-inch forged aluminum wheels or forged magnesium wheels - the most similar, in design, to the Mustang GT3 race car. Titanium exhaust and carbon ceramic brakes are also available. A new suspension system adjusts spring rate and ride-height settings for track or street conditions.

397478909-1692351070436 — Ford has been doubling down lately on its signature pony cars, which have been in production since 1964 and, with the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette, rank among the longest-running sports cars in history. Fans tend to be fanatical about the Mustang, opting to leave them bone-stock or modifying them to the hilt. Last year, Ford sold 47,566 nationwide.
