Ford CEO: Mustang GTD Supercar Set to Revolutionize the Automotive Industry

Ford CEO Jim Farley believes it's the "right time" to build the Mustang GTD supercar, which will have a price tag of around $300,000. The GTD is essentially a road version of Ford's Mustang GT3 racecar, featuring a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine producing around 800 horsepower. It will also have a rear transaxle and an 8-speed dual clutch transmission, as well as a unique rear suspension setup. While the high price may raise questions about its appeal compared to the more affordable Mustang pony car, the limited production quantity is expected to make it highly sought after among car enthusiasts. Farley also discussed Ford's electrification efforts and the challenges of the ongoing talks with the UAW.
