Oh no, it’s far too expensive for a Mustang! That’s what Mustang enthusiasts told Ford when the GTD debuted. Of course, it’s ten times pricier than Ford’s base muscle car. Yet, Ford still can’t keep up with customer demand for 2025 deliveries.
The standard Ford Mustang starts at $32,640. For that price, you get a vehicle equipped with a 2.3 EcoBoost engine, delivering 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet (474 Nm) of torque. But for $350,000, you can own the coveted Ford Mustang GTD—a powerhouse, ultra-exclusive model with a starting price of $350,000 before options.
For that sum, you’ll own a car powered by Ford’s supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine, producing a staggering 815 horsepower and 664 pound-feet (900 Nm) of torque. Some might argue it’s insane to pay ten times more for just over 500 extra horsepower, which could be achieved through modifications. But there’s more to it.
This car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). It’s also a track beast, completing the Nürburgring in under 7 minutes. The Mustang GTD lapped the infamous “Green Hell” in 6 minutes and 57.685 seconds.
Ford has begun delivering the ultra-powerful GTD, fully equipped with premium features befitting an exclusive muscle car. Comedian and online host Jay Leno, along with racer Vaughn Gittin Jr., are among the select few to receive their GTDs. Jay Leno showcased his car on his show, delivered personally by Ford CEO Jim Farley.
However, owners can’t drive their Mustang GTDs for the first 30 days due to the need for the paint to outgas before applying the recommended paint protection film (PPF) to the fragile carbon fiber body.
The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, while ultra-wide and performance-focused, are notorious for kicking up debris during spirited driving. This makes areas like fenders, side skirts, rear quarters, and the rear diffuser particularly vulnerable, prompting some owners to reinforce these sections.
Despite these inconveniences, 231 customers received their GTDs in 2025, with many more awaiting delivery. Ford has shifted remaining orders to the 2026 model year to meet demand.
For the same price as the Ford Mustang GTD, car enthusiasts could buy a Porsche 911 GT3 RS 992.2 or a Ferrari Roma, with enough left over for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan.
Ford mentioned the Mustang GTD is a limited-production model but never disclosed the exact production number. The automaker may adjust production to meet demand for its most powerful and expensive street-legal car ever.

It’s unlikely that anyone would dare pit their Lamborghini or Ferrari against a Ford Transit, even if it’s been souped-up with a 2,000 horsepower electric motor.
