The Ford Mustang GTD Competition recorded a Nurburgring Nordschleife lap of 6:40.835, making it the fastest street‑legal car at the circuit except for the Mercedes‑AMG One (6:29.090).
Ford said the Mustang GTD Competition will be offered as a strictly limited, serialized street‑legal special edition and that it has more than the standard Mustang GTD’s 815 horsepower via unspecified hardware and tuning, plus aerodynamic and weight‑saving upgrades such as DRS rear‑wing changes, front dive planes, carbon fiber aero discs, magnesium wheels, and carbon bucket seats.
The Mustang GTD Competition bested Chevrolet’s Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X lap times and several high‑performance Porsche and Mercedes models; Ford CEO Jim Farley had earlier reacted to the Corvette results by saying, "Game on."
