Ford sent waves through the car enthusiast community when it revealed the track-conquering Mustang GTD. The thoroughbred racer will pack a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 that improves upon the potent powerplant we loved in the GT500 and increases its output to 815 hp.

It seems Ford really has quite a few hardcore gearheads in its ranks still. And these people are responsible for ensuring the blue oval won't settle for a good product if they can strive for perfection. In comes the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, the most powerful production Mustang in history.

Autoblog chats to a hardcore Mustang fan and takes a spin in his 2024 Mustang with Ford Performance's new Whipple supercharger package.

Mustang that has ever debuted has nearly the same performance, athleticism, and capability as the Mustang GTD. The big-winged, muscular Mustang is Ford's road-legal equivalent to its GT3 race cars in both design and performance.

Ford said the 2025 Mustang GTD "sets a new performance bar" with 815 horsepower. First round of applications to buy is already closed.

That's right. The unrestrained Stang is set to produce a full 55 more stampeding horses than the latest Mustang Shelby GT500.

Introduced just over a year ago, the all-new Ford Mustang GTD is hailed as the fastest and most extreme production Mustang ever built. The automaker today made it official by confirming key performance figures.

The numbers are officially in. The world already knew the Ford Mustang GTD wasn’t just another pony car; it was a wild stallion ready to stampede its way into supercar territory. And now we have confirmation with Ford finally letting the cat out of the bag.
