Ford Mustang was quite famous for being a nightmare, not for its opponents but for the crowds. That was obvious since it had more than enough raw power going to the rear wheels. It was affordable, too, considering the power it made. The oversteer had become a disrespect for the Ford Mustang.
But that’s old news. Ford just shattered the record for the fastest American car around the Nürburgring, completing the lap in just 6 minutes and 57 seconds. To put that into perspective, that’s faster than Ferrari’s attempt back in 2009 with their 599XX.
The Ferrari 599XX completed the lap around the Nürburgring in 6 minutes 58 seconds, and that car wasn’t even road-legal. The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD was 1 second faster than the Ferrari 599XX despite running the lap on wet roads. The best part is that Ford reckons it can go faster than that.
Fastest Production Car
Completing the lap at an average pace of 110.6mph around the Nürburgring, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD now claims the title for being the fastest road-legal production car from the land of the free. The Mustang GTD was inspired by the Mustang GT3 car.
By inspiration, we mean some identical modifications like active aero, carbon ceramic brakes, tricked-out suspension, and a supercharger that doesn’t whine; it shrieks!
Ultimate Road Car?
Yes, the Ford Mustang GTD comes with a 5-point harness and a roll cage. But it doesn’t compromise on being road-legal. It is fully equipped with indicators and windshield wipers in case you’re driving your daughter to school.
Still Not Satisfied
According to Ford’s CEO Jim Farley, “The team behind Mustang GTD took what we’ve learned from decades on the track and engineered a Mustang that can compete with the world’s best supercars. We’re proud to be the first American automaker with a car that can lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, but we aren’t satisfied. We know there’s much more time to find with Mustang GTD. We’ll be back.”
