Ford Mustang GTD Aims for Nürburgring Record

Ford is set to reveal the lap time of its powerful Mustang GTD on December 10, aiming for a sub-7-minute record at the Nürburgring, a feat no American production car has achieved. The Mustang GTD boasts 815 horsepower and advanced aerodynamics, and if successful, it would surpass the lap times of notable competitors, including the Dodge Viper ACR and Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Ford has released a teaser for a 14-minute documentary titled 'Road to the Ring', highlighting the extensive preparation and challenges faced during the attempt. While the GTD's specific lap time remains undisclosed, expectations are high based on its performance capabilities and rigorous testing over the past year. The car features cutting-edge technology, including a rear-mounted dual-clutch transmission and active aerodynamics, positioning it as a serious contender in the high-performance segment. As the countdown continues, automotive enthusiasts eagerly await the results of this ambitious endeavor.
