Supercharged Engine Under its pony car veneer, the Mustang GTD houses a firebreathing 5.2L supercharged V8 that generates 815 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The engine's throaty roar is amplified by the Akrapovic exhaust, which is made of heat-resistant titanium to withstand the extreme temperatures of peak performance. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, and power delivery is managed by an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The powertrain enables the supercar to reach an incredible top speed of 202 mph. Lightweight Body Lightweight carbon fiber is used instead of aluminum in the supercar's drivetrain, body panels, and C-pillar mounted aero rear wing. The lower curb weight and near-perfect weight distribution translate to excellent handling dynamics, which combine with several performance-enhancing technologies to give the Mustang GTD a sub-7-minute Nürburgring lap time. Tremendous Downforce To minimize the lift that accompanies high speeds, Ford engineers made every inch of the Mustang GTD's exterior aerodynamically functional. The supercar's design maximizes downforce with an active rear wing, extendable underbody flaps, and a front splitter. A Drag Reduction System controls most of these elements using hydraulics to generate additional downforce when necessary. For instance, the system closes the wing and flaps to create an integrated airfoil that presses the supercar down as it corners. Motorsport-Grade Suspension System A semi-active suspension with DSSV technology underpins the Mustang GTD. The setup maintains its rigidity as the supercar turns aggressively, reducing body roll and maintaining traction. It also features an adaptive damping system that matches the suspension's characteristics to driving conditions and a dual ride height feature that enables drivers to lower ride height on demand. Brembo Performance Brakes The supercar requires tremendous stopping power to quickly shed its speed when necessary. This is why Ford engineers equipped it with Brembo anti-lock front brakes that come with 6-piston calipers and large rotors. The multipurpose front fender vents direct airflow toward the brake setup, dissipating the large amounts of heat it generates. Highly Digital Cockpit To display vehicle information with low latency, the Mustang GTD's dashboard features a customizable 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster. It sits behind a sporty steering wheel with mounted controls and 3D-printed paddle shifters. The cockpit also features a second display for infotainment, measuring 13.2 inches. The system runs on Unreal Engine (a popular video game engine) to render graphics and animations in real time.
