Ford Mustang GTD Shatters Nürburgring Record with Sub-7-Minute Lap

The Ford Mustang GTD has set a new benchmark for American muscle cars by becoming the fastest US production car to lap the Nurburgring with a time of 6:57.685. Despite achieving this sub-7-minute milestone, Ford plans to return for another attempt to improve the time, as the car still trails behind European models like the Porsche 992 GT3 RS and Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series. The Mustang GTD features a powerful 815 hp supercharged V8 engine and advanced aerodynamics, and Ford CEO Jim Farley is confident in its potential for further improvement.
