Home/NewsFord Mustang GTD’s Nürburgring Lap Time Is StunningThe new record at just over 6:52 puts the Mustang in crazy fast company
You might have missed it, but back in December, Ford claimed its radical new Mustang GTD lapped the Nürburgring quicker than any other car from an American brand. Ripping through the 12.9-mile track in just 6:57.685 meant the Mustang GTD beat out cars like the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS, Ferrari 296 GTB
We know there’s much more time to find with Mustang GTD
We’ll be back.” The company followed through and
Farley’s crown jewel lapped the ‘Ring around five seconds faster than it did last time
But it only claims one more meaningful notch in its belt
The Stang completed its lap quicker than the first 992.1 GT3 RS Porsche ran
a car that notably ran the same exact tires as Ford did
A second run — with a Weissach Package car
and a bucket driver’s seat — was quicker than the GTD
it shows that Ford really has what it takes to compete with Porsche — at least
Shaving nearly six seconds off a lap time is no easy feat
the Nürburgring is also famously tough for its unpredictable weather; race days have seen sun
Ford’s August 2024 run was damp and a bit warmer than anticipated; not the case with the car’s more recent pass
Adjustments were made to the car’s drag reduction system
and more in order to make it the best tool for the job
factory driver Dirk Müller sat in the driver’s seat
So, the Mustang GTD is five seconds quicker around a race track most Americans haven’t heard of and even fewer could find on a map. To wit, I’ve had coworkers in my former life at a BMW dealership — an “enthusiast” — who thought the track was in Nuremberg
The Green Hell is certainly a good stress test for a car
and bad sports cars will not post good times relative to their peers
But we won’t dissect the virtues of bench racing here
An interesting and important reminder: there is no governing body surrounding “Nürburgring lap times.” Automakers or third parties simply show up and clock their car. All records are “unofficial,” because, well, there are no officials. With no governing body, it’s perhaps no surprise that plenty of OEMs toe the line. Nissan cracked the production car record in 2013 with the GT-R
only for engineers to later admit the car was heavily modified
A Civic Type-R donned race tires you can’t get from the factory
Almost all records see cars with roll bars and harnesses
increasing rigidity and at least slightly trimming lap times
No matter how you feel about Nürburgring lap times or their relevance
you’ve got to admit: that’s one fast Mustang
Ford seem to be making sure that the Mustang GTD will be worth every red cent of its $300,000 or more price tag — including coming standard with top bragging rights
It’s also a good indicator of how truly dedicated Ford CEO Farley is to the company’s supercar program

the Daytona concept doesn't look much like the production car with which it shares a platform
red-ish paint wraps around custom bodywork meant to give the concept a smoother look than its factory Fox Body sibling
The name "Daytona" was likely inspired by the tinted light coverings

The concept employs other unique design cues
a t-top roof—which actually didn't make it into the production Mustang until 1981
the Daytona concept has the same 5.0-liter V-8 and four-speed manual as the factory Fox Body
but it’s unclear if any modifications were actually made to the powertrain
There were subtle tweaks to the suspension

Sometimes, widebody kits work brilliantly on a performance car, giving it a much more aggressive look. However, occasionally adding flared arches and revamped front and rear fascias goes a little too far, and that’s what we think has happened with this Mustang GT
if you’re the type of person who really wants to stand out from the pack
This crazy S550 has been fitted with a widebody kit from Clinched, a company based out of North Carolina. Made from ABS plastic, it looks as if it took some cues from the work of Liberty Walk and includes crazy front and rear flared fenders that appear to be directly riveted or screwed into the original quarter panels
Each arch looks at least four inches wider than the original
transforming the stance of the car and making it look much more aggressive
The Clinched kit also includes a much more pronounced front splitter that appears to be affixed to the original bumper
We’d be extremely paranoid about scuffing it if we were driving around in this Mustang
but there’s certainly no mistaking this Ford from any other

The kit also adds new side skirts, while the car has also been slammed on a new suspension and sits on a set of custom-made ESR wheels with a white finish. Then there’s the wrap that’s just as over-the-top as the bodykit.

The wrap has been brought to life by Inozetek and the color is known as Pearl Urban Bamboo. It has a light greenish tint that leans toward turquoise, but when the sunlight hits it just right, it reveals a golden gleam that makes you wonder if they dipped the car in a bottle of highlighter.
Divisive Looks Or Not, This ‘Stang Is Its Owner’s Dream
Love it or hate it, this thing is undeniably unique. The owner proudly calls it his dream Mustang, and frankly, that’s what really matters here. Whether it’s your style or not, Clinched’s creation makes one thing clear: it’s built to stand out, and that’s exactly what it does.

You’d think that in a race between a winged Tesla S Plaid and a Mustang GT you’d know what the outcome would be
The Mustang GT had no performance upgrades on it
but the Tesla Model S has the Plaid track mode
which enhances the vehicle’s performance on the track
The Tesla Model S Plaid is a technical powerhouse and managed a decent quarter mile
it let itself down in the grand scheme of things
There are many reasons the Tesla lost out in the contest
the Mustang ensured that it was a one-horse race
EXPLORE SBX CARS – Supercar auctions starting soon powered by Supercar Blondie
There’s nothing like a good drag car race, but it seems almost cruel to a stock Mustang GT to pit it against a winged Tesla Model S Plaid
and it seemed as though the souped-up EV had snatched defeat from the jaws of victory
Thanks to this brilliant YouTube video from Wheels
you can see both cars take their places and zoom off
but the Mustang clearly has a far better launch and acceleration
The Tesla Model S Plaid is a technical powerhouse with upgrades that are meant to optimize track performance and make it more aerodynamic
the upgrades may have caused the Tesla’s downfall
The EV itself might be more aerodynamic
but the aftermarket aero package might have increased downforce
The Tesla Model S Plaid clocked in with a quarter-mile of 9.25 seconds
whereas the Mustang came out of nowhere with a 9.17 quarter mile
proving that the Mustang really put the horse in one-horse race

Update 5/5/25: Ford has released an uncut video of the GTD's new record lap
So the company has taken the car back to the Green Hell and set an even quicker time: 6 minutes
Ford says it found the extra five seconds through a number of improvements to the car
a revised chassis with more torsional rigidity
a reworked ABS and traction control system
You can watch onboard footage of the full lap below
The new time means the Mustang GTD is quicker around the 'Ring than the Porsche 918 Spyder
It's also quicker than the current-generation 911 GT3
While seeing a car as big as a Mustang set such an impressive time
it's important to point out that this is no normal Mustang
The GTD is essentially a ground-up build with a Mustang body
using a rear-mounted eight-speed dual-clutch transmission
connected to the engine via a carbon fiber torque tube
uses spool-valve dampers and a pushrod and rocker arm architecture
you'll have to head to your local race track
it's crazy to think a Mustang is quicker than the mighty 918
It's a sign of just how far suspension and tire technology have come in 12 years
and the huge dedication of Ford's engineering team.

Ford’s collaboration with Hertz spans several decades and has resulted in a number of special-edition cars that have become legends in their own right. Among the most iconic is the original Ford Mustang GT350H
initially intended to be limited to just 100 units for Hertz’s rental fleet
all to help promote the Mustang to a wider audience
As it turned out, Hertz was clearly into the idea
eventually ordering almost 1,000 of these special Mustangs
one of those original GT350Hs is hitting the auction block later this month

Like all other 1966 GT350Hs built for Hertz
this one has an awesome black and gold paint scheme
including gold racing stripes and gold along the rocker panels
this particular GT350H was delivered to a dealer on March 17
and then prepped before it was added to the Hertz fleet
The listing makes no mention of how long the car was available as a rental
but it eventually found its way into the hands of its first private owner out of Amarillo
you may be left wondering how an almost 60-year-old ex-rental car looks this good
that’s because it has undergone a thorough rotisserie restoration and has been repainted in the original black and gold color combo
The undercarriage has also been sprayed with red oxide primer
and most of the suspension components have been replaced
Like the outside, the inside of the muscle car is immaculate. Indeed, you’d be hard-pressed to find another Mustang of this era with a cabin as immaculate as this one
The seats have been re-trimmed in black leather that shows virtually no signs of wear
The odometer reads 82,168 miles (132,236 km)

Power comes from the original 289 cubic-inch V8 engine
which cranked out a respectable 306 horsepower (likely gross instead of SAE net figures) in its prime
paired with a four-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels
it could reach 60 mph (96 km/h) in a very respectable 6.6 seconds
the sun visor is signed by none other than Carroll Shelby himself
adding a nice touch of celebrity to an already desirable ride

Numerous small but significant modifications helped the Ford Mustang GTD secure its spot as the fastest American car around the famously difficult Nürburgring track. Engineers made the GTD over five seconds faster
but reading about it isn’t quite the same as seeing it
Ford released a video that lets us watch (and hear!) the GTD go around the Green Hell in well under seven minutes
One of the best parts about cars getting faster on the ‘Ring is that you can watch a full lap during a quick break; You’d almost need to take an afternoon off if we were talking about
The 6:57-minute long video shows two angles: There’s a forward-facing camera and one aimed at pilot Dirk Müller
and a map of the track to show the Mustang’s exact location
but watching the speedometer gives us a great idea of what to expect: The 815-horsepower coupe takes less than 10 seconds to effortlessly accelerate from 200 to 250 kph (124 to 155 mph)
and it briefly crosses the 300-kph (186-mph) mark on the straight
The speed that the GTD carries around some of the track’s tighter corners is jaw-dropping
The video showing the full, 6:52:072 lap is embedded above. Sit back, turn up the sound, and enjoy. You can compare it to the old record (6:57:685) by watching the video that Ford published in December 2024
Production of the Ford Mustang GTD is scheduled to start in the spring of 2025, so the first deliveries are presumably right around the corner. Better yet, Ford confirmed that the customer-bound cars will benefit from all of the updates that the engineers developed to make the coupe even faster around the Nürburgring

Emily and Sarah's purpose is to spread the joy of the horse experience while broadening perspectives within the equestrian community
From training and riding to showing and traveling
they’re always on the lookout for the next great horse adventure
Finding a Home and Unique Bond with Mustangs
tell us a little about what led you to adopt your first mustang
What was it about mustangs that called to you?
Emily: Mustangs gave me something that I had been searching for a long time
I’ve always loved trying new things in the horse world
I never felt like I found that place that felt like home
There was something about them—their spirit
their independence—that resonated with me in a way I hadn’t experienced before
It felt like I had finally found a place where I could be truly happy and content
It sounds like mustangs really speak to you on a deeper level
Can you share what you love most about them?
They don’t just tolerate your company—they enjoy it
There’s a unique bond that forms when you connect with them
I love everything about mustangs: their intelligence
They’re so different from domesticated horses in the way they view the world
Mustangs are straight to the point—they don’t try to hide anything
I always say that domesticated horses are book-smart
untamed wisdom that’s just fascinating.
It sounds like each mustang you’ve worked with has its own personality
and what’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from them?
Each one has had its own personality and level of workability
The biggest lesson is patience—mustangs don’t come with the same expectations or behaviors that domesticated horses do
Every breakthrough with them is incredibly rewarding
but the feeling of seeing a mustang begin to trust and understand you is like nothing else.
how would you sum up life after adopting your first mustang?
Emily: Life after adopting mustangs is great
I know for sure that I will always have at least one
and growing alongside them has become such a fulfilling part of my life.
but it sounds like your approaches are a bit different
Can you share a little about how your training styles complement each other?
Emily thrives on the saddle breaking and colt starting process
while I focus more on the finishing and discipline side of training
We’ve found that by working in these complementary areas
we can support each other and make the training process more efficient
We’ve learned to really enjoy collaborating
and it’s fun seeing how our different approaches come together to help the mustangs grow.
do you see your training journey continuing to evolve in the future?
and every one of them teaches me something different
I’m not done yet—there’s always room to grow
and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with them.
What advice would you give to someone thinking about adopting a mustang for the first time?
Emily: My advice would be to go in with an open heart and an open mind
and understand that they’re not going to be like any horse you’ve worked with before
and it’s important to respect their individual needs
The bond you’ll form with a mustang is so special,
Emily and Sarah’s journey with mustangs is a testament to the power of patience
From their first mustang to the seven they have since adopted
the sisters’ dedication to these wild horses is nothing short of inspiring.
Whether you’re considering adoption or already have mustangs of your own
Emily and Sarah’s story reminds us that the process is just as rewarding as the outcome.

The original Mustang Shelby GT500 had a short four-year lifespan from 1967 through 1970. It would take another 37 years for the nameplate to return, and its revival cemented the OG Shelby as a legend. Buyers flocked en masse to Ford for the reborn 2007 Shelby GT500
assuming it would be another short production run
but it quickly became the flagship Mustang for over a decade—give or take a couple of model years
The answer, apparently, is yes. After two years of radio silence, a leaked memo from February 2025 referenced the Shelby’s return
Here’s what we know so far about the next great Pony Car
The only things certain in life are death and taxes—and racing stripes on a Shelby Mustang
we think Ford will move away from the gaping-mouth design of the previous generation and build on the design cues from the Dark Horse
Our exclusive rendering showcases the Shelby’s new face with a larger take of the Dark Horse’s grille
where prominent vents feed more air to the engine bay and brakes
meeting the edges of the headlight and feeding into the Shelby’s wider stance
the new GT500 should be properly flared out both front and rear
GT500 test mules with sketchy Dark Horse body panels and camouflaged backsides have been spotted near Ford’s headquarters in Dearborn
The camo disguises extra width at the rear
and misaligned fenders at the front also suggest a slightly wider track
And a new Shelby wouldn’t be complete with a big ol’ vented hood and a rear spoiler
We don’t know if a Carbon Fiber Track Package will be offered this time around. It’s possible Ford could tone down the track offerings since the GTD now exists as the ultimate corner-carving Mustang
But a big carbon fiber spoiler is virtually guaranteed
Interestingly, Ford does have a 1,000-hp engine already in its wheelhouse. The 7.3-liter supercharged Megazilla 2.0 crate engine was announced in January 2025
It’s unknown if this engine meets emission requirements for production use
but if Ford wanted to give this GT500 a proper send-off
you could do worse than dumping a massive pushrod V-8 between the fenders
but a slightly destroked version of this engine would displace 7.0 liters
The original GT500 from 1967 through 1970 came with—you guessed it—a 428 cubic-inch V-8
Ford generally hasn’t done much with GT500 suspension tuning in the past
which swapped in MagneRide magnetorheological dampers and a host of other upgrades
Bigger brakes will certainly be part of the new GT500
but the GTD’s existence adds some uncertainty
Will Ford make a concerted effort to upgrade the GT500’s handling chops
We think a comfortable middle ground is likely here
Test mules have already been spotted with old GT500 wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
It’s just a question of how close Ford wants to get to the $300,000-plus GTD’s capabilities in a cheaper (but still expensive) GT500
It’s reasonable to believe the new Shelby GT500 with its Legend engine will start at least in the high $80,000 range
But we wouldn’t be surprised if Ford just bumps it to $100,000
The leaked memo mentioned adding more production shifts later in 2025 for the 2026 Shelby GT500
so we could see this car debut before the end of this year
2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp
FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing geophysical reprocessing
reinterpretation and targeting work in collaboration with leading geophysical consultants Resource Potentials Ltd
This initiative reflects Mustang’s commitment to advancing exploration across its Athabasca Basin uranium projects through cost-effective
Following a detailed historical data compilation
ResPot has reprocessed and interpreted a suite of high-resolution airborne magnetic
and electromagnetic (“EM”) datasets over Mustang’s properties
These datasets were sourced from open-file surveys by provincial and federal agencies and integrated with digital elevation models
Magnetic datasets were utilized to infer the depth and architecture of the Athabasca Basin unconformity—a critical control for high-grade uranium mineralization
were processed to identify conductive anomalies potentially related to graphitic pelite units and clay alteration zones
Ratios and products of radioelement concentrations (K
U) were computed to enhance subtle radiometric anomalies
despite their susceptibility to attenuation by surface cover
The integrated interpretation has revealed multiple areas of interest coincident EM-magnetic-low anomalies characteristic of basement-hosted unconformity-related uranium deposits
A key component of this work has involved the continuous interpretation of geophysical data to guide targeted mineral claim staking
alongside the review of internal and public datasets
as Mustang evaluates potential project acquisitions and joint venture opportunities
ongoing interpretation is also underway on newly acquired airborne geophysical surveys
These include a MobileMT survey recently completed over the Yellowstone Project and an Xcite™ TDEM survey over the Dutton Project
Further analysis will also be conducted on the upcoming Xcite™ TDEM survey with radiometric data acquisition planned for the Spur Project in May
These contemporary datasets are expected to complement the historical compilation work and enhance Mustang’s ability to prioritize drill-ready targets across its portfolio
has resulted in targeting based off of the open source geophysical datasets over Mustang’s Athabasca Basin Uranium portfolio
Areas of interest have been identified based on this reinterpretation:
Positioned approximately 45 km south of the Athabasca Basin edge
this project hosts an EM conductor anomaly coinciding with a magnetic low and subtle radiometric uranium signature (Figure 1)
the project lies along trend with known uranium and REE occurrences
The company plans to initiate a field-based prospecting program this spring to further assess these priority targets

Revised chassis tuning with increased torsional rigidity
Updated suspension hardware and alignment for even more precise
Ford now owns, by our estimate
the ninth-fasted Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time for a production car
falling just a smidge behind the 6:52:01 lap time set by the Lamborghini Huracán Performante LP640-4
that's nothing to sneeze at — especially for something that started out as a humble Mustang
and it'll cost the lucky few who can afford one about $325,000
the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD became the first American-made production car to lap Germany's famed 12.9-mile Nürburgring race track in under 7 minutes
the Ford team said it would return for another go
Mustang’s 815-horsepower beast shattered its own 6.57.7 record by five seconds with a 6:52.1 minute lap
The feat makes the Mustang GTD the fourth-fastest production sports car to ever lap the so-called Green Hell
Mercedes AMG GT Black Series and Porsche GT3 RS
“We’re proud to be the first American automaker with a car that can lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes
but we aren’t satisfied,” Ford President and CEO Jim Farley said last year after GTD’s first sub 7-minute lap
“We know there’s much more time to find with Mustang GTD
The new time came as the halo Mustang — estimated to cost $325,000 — ramps up for production this spring for customer delivery
2024 test included updated powertrain calibration
and reconfigured traction control for better acceleration out of Nürburgring’s corners
The GTD’s 2024 achievement was celebrated at the New York Auto Show last week where the ultimate ‘Stang was featured in a special exhibit on the show floor detailing the car’s 2024 accomplishment
the display will have to be updated to reflect the new time
73-turn track is the benchmark for performance car testing with speeds cresting 180 mph for long stretches
the Nürburgring lap was clocked by Ford pro-race driver Dirk Müller
Müller also piloted the Mustang GT3 — the race car version of the production GTD — in North America’s IMSA Weathertech Sportscar series
The pair placed 7th at the Detroit Gand Prix and 10th overall for the year
The Mustang GT3 kicked off 2025 by winning the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona — following up on an impressive 2024 when it debuted internationally with a third-place finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France
The winged GTD monster validates Ford’s ambitions to compete against elite sports car brands including Porsche
Ford will also be entering the top-rung prototype class in 2027 to compete for the overall world championship for the first time since the GT40 dominate Le Mans in the late 1960s
back to our founding,” said Ford in a press release
because there’s nothing better than high-stakes competition with the best in the world for improving quality
No current Ford vehicle exemplifies this philosophy like the Mustang GTD.”
The GTD’s 2024 attempt was marred by inclement weather
a common issue in the remote Eifel Mountains where Nürburgring resides
The lap time closed the gap to the lap times of the Mustang’s Porsche and Mercedes rivals
both of which compete against Ford (along with Chevrolet’s mid-engine Corvette) in the international GT3 class with race versions of their own supercars
The supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine is similar to the mill in the last-generation
760-horsepower Shelby Mustang GT500 but includes upgrades like a rear-mounted transmission
dry-sump oil system and swan-neck rear wing for better downforce
The carbon-fiber-skinned GTD was developed by Ford’s Toronto-based racing partner Multimatic
which also developed the mid-engine Ford GT
The lap record by a production hypercar is 6:29.1 set by the Formula 1-based Mercedes-AMG ONE
The outright lap record is held by the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo race car at 5.19.5

because of the color," said owner Juan Garcia
"The name Grinch came because of my wife's obsession with the Grinch."
Garcia gave us a tour around the ultra-powerful green beast that he calls The Grinch
and what went into his decision to buy and run his 2020 Shelby GT 500
he was not a professional mechanic," said Garcia

The GTD was 5.5 seconds faster on this run than its first attempt back
Back in August, the insane $300,000-plus Ford Mustang GTD became the first American car to break the 7-minute barrier around the Nürburgring Nordscheife
as weather hampered the potential for improvement on Multimatic Motorsports driver Dirk Müller’s 6:57.685 run
Ford proclaimed it would return and it would throw down an even quicker time on the notorious 12.9-mile circuit
the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD’s redemption run posted a time of 6:52.072 — 5.5 seconds faster than last time
This latest run bumps the Mustang GTD ahead of the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 with the Manthey Performance Kit (6:55.737)
though it is still behind the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (6:49.328)
as well as the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (6:48.047) and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS with the Manthey Performance Kit
which currently holds the production sports car lead with a time of 6:43.300
Ford says its made a host of tweaks to the GTD’s setup in pursuit of that better lap time
It revised the chassis tuning for even more torsional rigidity
updated suspension hardware and tuning for more predictable handling
revised the ABS and traction control’s behavior and made powertrain calibration updates
All that work came after a second-by-second review of the August 2024 lap to make the new Mustang GTD as fast as it possibly can be
and achieve the ‘Ring’s fourth-fastest time in the production sports car class
Ford’s latest time is good marketing for the upcoming Mustang GTD as it actually enters production for customers
That should kick off in the coming weeks (the automaker is still claiming a Spring 2025 rollout)
though it obviously hasn’t gotten any less expensive in the past nine months
When the first examples do make it off the line
Ford is charging prospective customers at least $300,000 a pop for the privilege of owning one
that’s still significantly cheaper than the now-departed (and also Multimatic-built) Ford GT
