Ford is offering its 815-horsepower 2025 Mustang GTD in a red, white and blue livery to celebrate the 'Stang's racing history.
Ford claims the Mustang GTD can achieve a sub-7-minute Nürburgring lap time.
This wild Mustang tops $300,000.

Heralded as the next coming of American muscle, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD boasts impressive specs. The GTD is a street-legal monster powered by a screaming 815-horsepower 5.2-liter V8, making it the most powerful factory-built Mustang ever.

Now, on the eve of the 2025 Detroit Auto Show, Ford announces that you can get this beast festooned in Uncle Sam’s favorite colors: red, white and blue. The Ford Mustang GTD Spirit of America package features a Performance White canvas, striped with red and blue down the hood to pay homage to Ford's Tribar logo from 1964. This is also a nod to the turbojet-powered Spirit of America vehicles piloted by American race car driver Craig Breedlove, who was a five-time world land-speed record holder and the first person in history to reach both 500 mph and 600 mph in the 1960s.

The Mustang name is displayed prominently on the underside of the pronounced black, white and red spoiler. Mirror caps can match the spoiler edges in Race Red or contrast in exposed carbon fiber for a more modern look. Either way, the high-performance Brembo brake calipers come in Race Red as standard. The front splitter, rear diffuser and spoiler are also finished in exposed carbon fiber. Lightweight titanium exhaust pipes protrude from the rear, and titanium takes a starring role in the available 3D-printed IP badge, shift ring and paddle shifters.

Inside the cabin of the GTD Spirit of America, the leather-trimmed Black Onyx seats are prepared to support you from the grocery store to the track. They're striped in Race Red with white and blue trim and stitching to complete the theme; fireworks and apple pie not included.

Anyone who has seen the (albeit amplified for Hollywood) drama in Ford v Ferrari has witnessed the Blue Oval's passion for racing engineering. The GTD is a continuation of Ford’s desire to push its power quotient, surpassing even the superlative Shelby GT500 as the most powerful factory Mustang ever.
