As one of the lucky few to make the short list of people able to purchase the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, Vaughn Gittin Jr. has been documenting the ordering and delivery process for his fans on social media. Gittin now has his hands on the track-killing machine, and he recently put out a detailed video with tips on handling and caring for the extreme beast, with a little help from GTD delivery specialist Bernie.
Bernie starts by filling Gittin in on the finer details of the Ford Mustang GTD powertrain (as though Gittin didn’t already know). He details that its supercharged 5.2L V8 engine throws over 800 horsepower, and that The Blue Oval elected to fit it with a transaxle instead of a transmission.
Of course, there’s plenty to marvel about on the Ford Mustang GTD exterior. Standout features includes the aggressive front splitter and the fenders, the latter of which features a gill-like set of fender vents to help relieve wheel well pressure. Because the designers didn’t have to adhere to, say, GT3 specs, they were afforded some freedom in implementing things like the vents, which feature a wider opening than the division would allow.
Gittin finally makes it to the Mustang GTD interior, unwrapping the Recaro seat “like a Christmas present,” as he puts it. Bernie points out the carbon touches and other special features that are a result of the Black Onyx interior package.
He fires up the infotainment for the first time and is introduced to the impressive graphics on the center stack screen – and, of course, the track-ready muscle car’s five drive modes. This includes a custom drive mode, which will allow Gittin to adjust certain subsystems to deliver exactly the kind of performance he’s after. The five presets, meanwhile, consists of Track, Dragstrip, Slippery, Normal, and Sport.
Production of the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is handled by Multimatic. The Mustang GTD will be few and far between, considering that it carries a starting price tag of $325,000, although when properly optioned out, it can cost well north of $400,000.
