• Ford unveiled the interior of the Mustang GTD, featuring exclusive controls and graphics.
  • The optional Performance Pack adds aero upgrades while further reducing weight.
  • It is equipped with a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 that will deliver over 800 hp.

Ford chose the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the European debut of the Mustang GTD, providing further insights into their new flagship muscle car. Additionally, they unveiled the interior of the GTD for the first time and detailed the optional Performance Pack aimed at achieving a sub-7 minute lap time at the Nurburgring.

The Performance Pack incorporates aero enhancements while reducing the car’s weight. These enhancements include dive planes on the front bumper, a larger front splitter, underbody flaps, and a drag-reduction system for the rear wing. The active aero assists the Mustang GTD in reducing drag on the straights while maintaining downforce in the corners.

The Performance pack also includes a Lightweight package, because weight is the enemy on the track. It adds a set of lighter 20-inch wheels made of magnesium and removes some of the sound-deadening material. Unfortunately, the company didn’t reveal the actual weight-saving figures or the cost of the optional package, which adds to the already eye-watering $325,000 price tag of the standard Ford Mustang GTD.

The GTD that will be on display at Le Mans boasts a new Chroma Flame finish, one of the six standard options in the color palette, alongside Polymimetic Gray, Race Red, Shadow Black, Frozen White, and Lightning Blue. This particular model is also a Carbon Series trim, featuring exposed carbon fiber on the hood, roof, and rear deck, complemented by Magnetite-finished wheels.

Interior Reveal

The Mustang GTD was originally unveiled in August 2023, but Ford had yet to show us the interior. This changes today as we lay eyes on the cabin of the supercar-hunting Mustang. Overall, changes compared to the lesser (and much cheaper) Mustangs are not so drastic, although Ford added a few GTD-specific elements.

The super-Mustang retains the standard digital cockpit with the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and the 13.2-inch infotainment display. However, the displays have unique welcome and farewell graphics, showing the Mustang GTD in all of its glory. The GTD also has an exclusive Performance gauge cluster with a more focused layout.

Setting aside the software aspects, the GTD comes equipped with Recaro seats as standard and features a new flat-bottom steering wheel with additional controls for the suspension and exhaust settings. The steering wheel’s thick rim is upholstered in leather and Dinamica, with carbon fiber inserts adding a touch of sophistication.

Additionally, Ford designers incorporated two new buttons on the center console: one for accessing the front-axle lift function and another serving as a shortcut to the Track Apps page of the infotainment system.

Another important detail is the oversized 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel, and the matching titanium trim available for the rotary gear selector. Ford says that the larger shift paddles will help drivers have greater control over the eight-speed dual-clutch transaxle gearbox, making the best out of the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 set to deliver over 800 hp.

The inaugural public appearance of the Ford Mustang GTD in Europe coincides with the commencement of applications for the European market. Prospective buyers can submit their applications via the official website starting from June 13 at 1 pm CET. It’s worth noting that the application window for the US and Canada is closed, while buyers in Mexico and the Middle East will have their opportunity within June.
