The Ford Mustang GTD has made a lightning run! The supercar has broken its own record at the Nurburgring Nordschleife track in Germany, with a time of 6 minutes and 52 seconds. This new achievement surpasses the 6 minutes and 57 seconds recorded in 2024. This lightning-fast vehicle with 815 horsepower has written a new chapter in the history of American cars, beating world-class cars like the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Behind this record is the hard work of Ford engineers. They have made new tuning to the car's engine, made the chassis more rigid, improved the ABS and traction control systems, and made innovative changes to the aerodynamics. All of this combined resulted in the GTD showing extraordinary speed and precision on the 20.832-kilometer-long “Green Hell” of the Nürburgring. These changes made the car fly like a racing machine!

The Mustang GTD is no ordinary Mustang, it’s an engineering marvel. Starting with the body of a Mustang, it’s a completely redesigned model. A carbon fiber torque tube and a rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch transmission give this car a race car feel. This $325,000 car is well worth the price tag. This performance proves that it’s more than just a car, it’s a dream!
Ford has said that it will release a video of the lap on YouTube soon, but it hasn’t said when exactly. When the video comes out, fans will get a closer look at the GTD’s lightning-fast speed. When Ford set the American car record in 2024 with a time of 6:57.685, it said, “We can go even faster.” This new time of 6:52 lives up to that promise!
