With the GTD edition of the Mustang based on the GT3 format, Ford hopes to sub-seven minutes around the Ring.
Turn up the speakers. A V8 symphony isn’t uncommon at the Nurburgring, but it’s rarely in a ‘muscle’ edition. An American muscle car is rare during official testing, but the Ford Mustang GTD makes an impression and is definitely remembered…
When this road-going version of the Mustang GT3 race car debuted, Ford didn’t mind going to the Nurburgring with ambitions of setting a seriously fast lap time. The automaker believes the GTD can run the Nordschielfe loop in under 7 minutes, with testing now underway ahead of an official attempt later this year.
