Ford Mustang GTD Chases Special Nürburgring Record

Published

on

The current Ford Mustang is, in the form of the GTD, the most track-focused Mustang ever. This should be reflected in the famous Nürburgring-Nordschleife, where Ford is chasing a special record.

The Ford Mustang has never really been a thoroughbred sports coupe like the Porsche 911 or the Mercedes-AMG GT, but with the Ford Mustang GTD, the Americans come close. This is an exceptionally strong and also sporty Mustang in terms of chassis. When the GTD was unveiled in the summer of 2023, Ford already promised that it had an important goal in mind: clocking a lap time of less than 7 minutes on the Nordschleife. It seems that this has been achieved.

In a beautiful video, not without some healthy American heroism, Ford already shows that the GTD has been chased into the Green Hell in pursuit of a lap time in 6 minutes. It certainly does not do this for nothing; you can bet that the Mustang has achieved it. On December 10th, it will become clear what time was clocked exactly. Ford is not chasing the fastest lap time, because the 6:29 of the Mercedes-AMG One will of course not be achieved by the Mustang, but it does want to take the record of the fastest American car with it. In addition, they show that the Ford Mustang GTD in the right hands can be a serious challenger to the Porsche 911 GT3 of today.
