Straddling the (very thin) line between track-ready beast and street-legal pony car, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD features a host of motorsports-inspired carbon fiber components, making it a force to be reckoned with both on and off the track. The new Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon ups the ante with even more carbon fiber pieces, making it even lighter on its feet than the “regular” Mustang GTD.
Debuting at Laguna Seca, the perfect backdrop for the track-ready pony’s first outing, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon is completely bereft of paint. Not that it needs it to look good – the exposed carbon fiber weave is flashy enough. In fact, Ford designers took care to line the weave up, creating a seamless look across the hood, roof, rear deck, and rear wing.
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon also features fenders and side panels that are perfectly aligned to the dorsal elements of the track-ready pony, lending it a shark-like expression from nose to tail. The ensemble is garnished with black Brembo brake calipers, which perfectly matched the anodized body with gloss black GTD lettering.
The Liquid Carbon trim also includes the Performance Pack as standard, which kits the Mustang GTD out with dive planes and a front splitter, a drag reduction system, underbody flaps, and the Lightweight package, which removes the sound deadening components to reduce the vehicle’s weight.
Inside, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon trim gets black leather and Dinamica microfiber suede seats with Hyper Lime stitching. That same bright green thread is also stitched into the seats, door panels, center console, instrument panel, and steering wheel, breaking up its otherwise sinister cockpit. The aggressive pony car also sports a reflective center gradient that runs down the middle of the seats.
“High performance requires high precision. When we were designing Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon, it was essential that these small details were present, because they speak to the care and attention required to both build a vehicle like Mustang GTD and to compete and win on the world’s stage with Mustang GT3,” said Mustang GTD Design Manager Anthony Colard.
This isn’t the first time The Blue Oval has released a Liquid Carbon variant for of one of its high-performance machines. The Ford GT Liquid Carbon Edition similarly skipped the paint, leaving the sports car’s carbon fiber body in the nude.
The faulty units may crack and develop a coolant leak, causing a short circuit.
A very cool sort of one-off build.
A quirky car for a quirky race.
