Ford Mustang GTD Revealed As 800-HP Street-Legal Supercar With $300k Price Tag


At each corner, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels (optional forged magnesium items) with a GT3-inspired design wear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires measuring 325/30 R20 up front and 345/30 at the rear.

Housed within these are Brembo-supplied carbon ceramic brakes, with the rear items boasting cooling ducts beneath the rear suspension.

Speaking of airflow, an extensively redesigned body focuses on aerodynamics with a new front splitter, vented hood and fenders, and a hydraulically controlled active rear wing bolted to the C-pillar to apply downforce directly into the chassis. Further to this, an available aero package equips an underbody aerodynamic tray fashioned from carbon fiber and hydraulically controlled flaps to manage airflow on the fly and balance downforce front-to-rear.

Carbon fiber is also used for much of the bodywork, including the blistered widebody fenders, hood, ‘trunk lid,’ door sills, front splitter, rear diffuser, and roof. As if that didn’t reduce weight enough, you can also specify the front and rear bumpers in carbon fiber.

“Our design team worked in conjunction with the Mustang GT3 design team and the aero team, sharing solutions between race car and road car, and vice versa,” claims Anthony Colard, Ford Performance design manager.
