Ford Mustang GTD – $300k, 800bhp+ Porsche 911 GT3 RS Rival at Goodwood FOS
19 Luglio, 2024
During the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed I filmed the all new 2025 Ford Mustang GTD.
?Our idea behind this car was to take a race car and not change anything for the street,? says Ford boss Jim Farley. There?s a giant dry-sumped 5.2-litre supercharged V8 up front that revs to somewhere above 7,500rpm and puts out over 800bhp, making this the most powerful road-legal Mustang ever built. That engine is connected to a carbon fibre driveshaft and powers the rear wheels through a rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Pretty much every panel you can see except for the doors is made from carbon fibre.
There are humungous Brembo carbon ceramic brakes hiding under 20-inch forged magnesium wheels, and the active rear wing combines with hydraulically controlled flaps behind the front grille to manage downforce. There?s a giant rear diffuser too, plus a titanium exhaust system supplied by Akrapovic and sticky Michelin Cup 2 R tyres.
Oh, and there?s no boot because that?s taken up by the inboard rear suspension setup, the hydraulic suspension control system and the transaxle?s cooling system. Yeah, this is a properly serious Mustang?
