The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD Becomes a Nürburgring Record Breaker!

How Fast Is the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD? 

Akins Ford in Winder, GA is thrilled to share groundbreaking news for Ford performance enthusiasts. The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD has made history, becoming the first American sports car to achieve a sub-seven-minute lap at Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife. This incredible milestone cements the Mustang GTD as a true supercar contender. 



A Record-Setting Lap Time 

So, how fast is the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD? Driven by Multimatic Motorsports driver Dirk Müller, this powerhouse lapped the grueling 12.9-mile, 73-turn Nürburgring in a jaw-dropping 6:57.685. This officially certified time places the Mustang GTD as the fifth fastest production sports car ever recorded at the Nürburgring. It’s also only the sixth stock car in history to break the seven-minute barrier, delivering on Ford CEO Jim Farley’s ambitious promise when the GTD debuted.

Unparalleled Engineering Excellence 

The 2025 Mustang GTD achieves this feat thanks to its innovative design and cutting-edge technology. With an 815-horsepower supercharged V8 engine, carbon-ceramic brakes, active aerodynamics, and a semi-active suspension, the GTD is built to dominate both the track and the road. This vehicle is inspired by the Mustang GT3 race car but surpasses it with advanced features not limited by racing regulations. 

Moreover, its lightweight carbon-fiber body and motorsports-derived safety equipment, including a roll cage and five-point harness, underscore its high-performance pedigree.
