2025 Ford Mustang GTD Makes History as Fastest American Production Car at Nürburgring

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD has shattered performance barriers by completing the legendary Nürburgring circuit in under seven minutes. This extraordinary achievement marks the first time an American production vehicle has broken the seven-minute barrier at the renowned German track, cementing the Mustang GTD's position among the world's most capable supercars.

The Mustang GTD's certified lap time of 6 minutes and 57.685 seconds around the 20.8-kilometre circuit establishes it as the fifth-fastest production sports car ever to tackle the challenging Nordschleife. This remarkable feat showcases Ford's commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance engineering.

Engineering Excellence  

At the heart of the Mustang GTD sits an 815-horsepower powerplant that transforms this legendary pony car into a thoroughbred supercar. The extensive use of carbon fibre throughout the body demonstrates Ford's dedication to advanced materials and weight reduction. The engineering team has integrated sophisticated systems, including active aerodynamics and semi-active suspension, creating a perfect balance between track capability and street performance.

The carbon-ceramic brakes provide exceptional stopping power, essential for both track days and spirited driving on Canadian roads. These advanced systems work in harmony to deliver unprecedented performance while maintaining the distinctive Mustang character that enthusiasts have come to love.

Track-Ready Performance  

The Nürburgring achievement results from two years of intensive development by Ford's elite engineering team and Multimatic Motorsports. The Mustang GTD benefits directly from Ford's GT3 racing program, though it transcends racing restrictions to deliver even higher performance. Professional driver Dirk Müller's record-setting lap validates the extensive development work and positions the GTD among the most capable production vehicles ever created.

Performance Heritage  

Driving enthusiasts will appreciate the Mustang GTD's all-weather capability and track-ready nature. The sophisticated suspension system adapts to various road conditions, making it suitable for everyday enjoyment on our roads. From Canadian Tire Motorsport Park to Toronto Motorsports Park, the GTD's track-focused engineering allows owners to experience world-class performance at racing circuits across the country.

Future of Performance  

The Mustang GTD represents more than just a performance milestone. It showcases Ford's vision for the future of high-performance vehicles and demonstrates that American engineering can compete with the world's most exclusive supercar manufacturers. The extensive use of advanced materials and sophisticated technology sets new standards for what's possible in a production vehicle.
