The pony car just went beast mode. The all-new Ford Mustang GTD isn’t just another muscle car — it’s a track-bred monster taking direct aim at Europe’s best, including the legendary Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

In this FIRST DRIVE, we put the Mustang GTD through its paces to see if it truly delivers supercar-level performance. With its front-mid-mounted V8 engine, carbon fibre bodywork, active aerodynamics, and suspension tech pulled straight from racing, the GTD feels more like a Le Mans machine with plates than your neighbour’s Mustang.

From roaring exhaust notes to corner-crushing grip, the GTD proves that Ford isn’t just playing catch-up — they’re rewriting the rulebook. Could this be the ultimate American track weapon?
