The Wildest Road-Legal Mustang Has An Equally Wild Price
When the Ford Mustang GTD was unveiled, a few details were missing from the specification sheet, such as its exact starting price, gas mileage, optional extras, and a more complete list of standard equipment. We can now answer all of these questions, thanks to a leaked window sticker on the Mustang 7G forum, for what is the most extreme and fastest road-going Mustang ever conceived.
Mustang GTD Almost Five Times Pricier Than Mustang Dark Horse
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD has a base price of $318,760, slightly exceeding the previously estimated cost of $300k. It’s still far and away the most expensive Mustang you can buy for the road. For some more perspective, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, one of the ultimate track toys, starts at $241,300.
The GTD’s base price isn’t all that one has to take into consideration, though. It’s also liable for a gas guzzler tax of $3,700, while the destination and delivery charge is a lot more for this exclusive Ford than for your everyday Mustang, at $5,500. We imagine that extra care is taken to ensure your GTD arrives at the showroom without so much as a speck of dust on the windshield.
One Of America’s Thirstiest New Cars
Besides the extraordinary MSRP, the Mustang GTD is also laughably heavy on gas. The window sticker indicates it’ll do only 10/17/12 mpg across the city/highway/combined cycles. The Ferrari Purosangue – with all 6.5 liters of engine capacity and 12 cylinders – is more efficient than this Mustang in city driving, at 11 mpg.
According to the EPA, you will use 8.3 gallons of gas in the GTD per 100 miles, while spending $12,500 more in fuel costs over five years than the average new car. The annual fuel cost of the Mustang is around $4,400, but that’s based on covering 15,000 miles per year, which most GTDs are unlikely to ever do.
Many Standard Features, But Options Will Cost You Dearly
The Mustang GTD gets a host of extras over and above normal Mustangs, and these demonstrate what a specialized beast it is. As standard, you get an Akrapovic titanium exhaust, Brembo brakes with carbon ceramic rotors, various carbon fiber body panels, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
Inside, there is a 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster and a 13.2-inch touchscreen with graphics that are unique to the GTD. If you tire of the sound of that 5.2-liter V8, there’s a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. Recaro racing seats will hold occupants firmly in place.
The customer who ordered this particular GTD added red brake calipers for $1,500 and an exposed carbon fiber roof for $10,000. The Equipment Group 100A appears not to have any cost, and includes a fixed wing, black seat belts, and a painted black lower surround.
Overall, this customer had to cough up $339,460 for this Mustang GTD.
An 800-HP Heart And Racing Suspension
Ford
The Mustang GTD is powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine with an output of 815 horsepower. All of that is transferred to the rear wheels via an eight-speed Tremec dual-clutch transaxle. A special racing, semi-active suspension and all that grunt allowed the GTD to become the first American sports car to lap the Nurburgring in under seven minutes along the circuit’s 12.9-mile stretch. The official time was six minutes and 52.072 seconds.
Flat out, the Mustang GTD will reach a top speed of 202 mph, easily trumping the fastest 911 GT3, which can “only” reach 194 mph.Â
It’s been over a year since Ford began accepting applications for the Mustang GTD, but even that won’t guarantee you one of these Mustangs, as Ford goes through a discerning process to determine who is worthy enough to buy it.
