New model was designed to ‘take on the best European sports cars’
Ford has unveiled its most extreme and powerful Mustang ever with the new ‘GTD’.
Based on the latest generation of Mustang, due to arrive in Europe in fairly small numbers next year, the GTD is said to have a very different character to other models in this muscle car’s range. Developed by Ford’s motorsport team, ahead of the Mustang returning to Le Mans next year, the GTD gets imposing styling with a huge front splitter and significant rear spoiler that dominates the rear of the car.
The GTD also uses a bespoke 5.2-litre V8 engine , which is ‘targeting more than 800bhp’, the firm has said. That makes it comfortably the most powerful road-going Mustang to leave the factory. Drive is delivered to the rear wheels using an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.Ford is also looking to take this Mustang to the famous Nurburgring racetrack in Germany, where it’s targeting a sub-seven minute lap.
