The Ford Mustang GT3, belonging to the Italian racing team Dinamic GT, was spotted testing at the Misano Adriatico circuit in preparation for the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe season. Powered by a bored 5.4-liter Coyote V8 engine, the race-spec Mustang unleashed its ferocious sound on the track. While the performance figures are unknown, GT3 cars typically run between 500-600 horsepower. The shakedown allowed the team to fine-tune the car's balance and setup for optimal performance.
