It produces 815 hp (608 kW), delivers 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque, and is a true jet fighter. When it finally hits the market, buyers will spend around $325,000, and now it's chasing a very important record.

2025 Mustang GTD is the fastest, most powerful factory model ever
When Ford announced Coming in August 2023, the Mustang GTD is a limited-production model inspired by the Mustang GT3 that Ford claims will deliver an "estimated 800 horsepower" and will be the "fastest road-going Mustang ever." Now that the wait for official figures is over, it looks like Ford has wisely chosen to underpromise and overdeliver. To achieve the GTD's output goals, the powertrain experts at Ford Performance tweaked the intake and exhaust systems, installed a lightweight titanium exhaust, and used a smaller supercharger pulley. These changes bring horsepower and torque to 815 hp and 664 lb-ft, respectively, an increase of 55 and 39, respectively, over the previous-generation Mustang Shelby GT500. To prevent the engine from starving for oil during high-G turns, they also gave the Mustang its first dry-sump lubrication system. Doing so frees up more revs, raising the redline to 7,650 rpm. Power is sent to the rear 20-inch wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Ford combined…

Corvette ZR1 and Ford Mustang GTD define America
The Corvette ZR1 and Ford Mustang GTD are two different beasts, but we asked our readers which one they prefer Ford and Chevrolet are preparing to launch high-performance sports cars with more than 800 horsepower. The Corvette ZR1 is even more powerful, with an estimated 1,064 horsepower. The ZR1 will also likely be a lot cheaper, as the GTD is expected to cost around $325,000.
