My first time seeing a Ferrari Enzo in a bank parking lot, I thought I was in heaven. Now, as a "true" adult, seeing a GTD in person is going to be an even greater highlight.
Just buy a regular Mustang, cut some garish holes on the side, slap on a giant wing, and throw a supercharger on the motor and no one would be able to tell that you didn't have a GTD.

Are you crazy? This will drop in value compared to too a Porsche 🫨 and the bones of the vehicle are designed to be a $50,000 vehicle, not a $300,000 vehicle. It's just a cash grab. If you were to buy a $50,000 in mustang, if you removed the engine transmission all of the suspension and replaced it with aftermarket components. You could do the same for way less most car people know this shocking that you don't
The Ford GT was a new design from the ground up. They used some components from the Ford lineup of vehicles but mostly a brand new design deserving of the price tag at the time. This does not deserve the price tag in any way shape or form. You know that and I know that it's just a money grab. If they redesigned it completely or remade the chassis out of a different material like the Z06 back in the day from aluminum then I could see it and it still didn't deserve that kind of price tag increase . they were able to put it in a GM product. I'm not a GM fanboy but this is just an example . pine and simple It is a money grab and definitely not worth the money. I could see this car being close to $100,000 today's money but no way 300,000................

@@justinhamill1931 You're a bit mentally challenged aren't you? You'd have to be to think you can just mod a Mustang and do what the GTD does. The reason Ford is making this is because it's not just a Mustang, they needed to sell a homologation car so they could race their GT3 car next year in FIA and WEC because this thing is has many components that are a complete redesign. It has a new tubular subframe that's lighter and stiffer, it's all carbon fiber, it's got a completely reworked bespoke rear mounted transaxle drivetrain and new inboard race suspension that completely changes the rear end of the car, active aero all over, a dry-sump beefed up 5.2 Predator engine under the hood (which in and of itself is a 30k engine stock), and more. This is a completely reworked *racecar* that Ford is making a road homologation for, this thing is exclusive and special, to call this "just a Mustang" is as stupid as people that called the GR Yaris "just a Yaris" and shows a complete lack of understanding for the history and the significance of race homologation specials. Every homologation car in history (such as this GTD) has appreciated in value, there's every expectation and historical president that this'll do the same.
Yes, it’s a 300k Stang but the engineering is worth that. Especially if thats the car they’re taking to Le Mans. The GT3 RS is based on a lower tier Porsche too
When I first saw the headline Mustang GTD a few weeks I must admit I thought Ford was making a diesel powered GT and thought to myself why… after reading the article I was stoked to be mistaken.
I would give my right arm to have one of those parked in my drive.... of course then I would not be able to drive it!! I could still wake up every morning, pop outside and fire it up, just to stir the noisey neighbours...Beautiful car, best looking Mustang yet.

You do realize this is just a pre-production model, on display for the media. It doesn't even have the correct interior, and I doubt if there's nothing more than a stock Mustang engine in it.

Oh what a time it is to be alive 🇺🇸🫡
I might be ignorant here please enlight me. The gt3 rs has around 500HP. This one has 800HP. Why are people saying for some time now this competes with the gt3 rs when it's a different power class? And considering that, a sub 7 Ring time doesn't sound too impressive
@@DChrlsthis is a GT3 race car chassis with active aero and 200 more horsepower. Not a road car turned race car like the GT3RS but a race car turned road car. Imagine if Porsche took their 911 R GT3 race car and gave it the engine from the GT2RS. THAT'S what this is. Ford is purposely playing down how insane this car is lol. It's gonna be super light - likely well under 3000 pounds. The Porsche is a pig by comparison.
@@spdcrzy The GTD starts off as an off the assembly line chassis. What they call a chassis in the white. Then it is sent to Multimatic and they modify the stock chassis to create the final product.
@@DChrls that's EXACTLY what I said. But the weight of the production car has nothing to do with the weight of the race car. The body in white gets turned into FIA GT3 spec regardless, which means even after adding the supercharger and additional cooling and DCT transaxle, it still won't weigh more than a GT3 RS.

Good video. Just 1 thing.. Don't lean on a car if it isn't yours. People really need to stop that. A cop did it to me and I told him to stop touching my car. It's really irritating.
The car has a unique design from the gt500 and the coyote. Ford is going full on from the GT. I LOVE IT. There dedication is incredible. They up there engine and power to a v8 supercharger. The aerodynamics in the car will make it faster with the weight reduction. Do you think the price will drop by 2027?
Very unlikely. Ford has initial plans to make just 1,000 - 2,000. The 3rd gen. GT went up slightly in price after it was introduced. Wait until you see what these go for 2nd hand at auction!
@kengray16Two completely different vehicles racing in different classes. The Ford GT has completed its organized racing program in GTLM Class IMSA racing. This GTD Mustang hasn't even started production and won't until end of next year or early 2025. There is already plenty of technical info and diagrams available showing how the GTD will be configured.
I am a huge ford guy. I've owned 4 mustangs in my life, the most recent is a 2023 mach1. As much as I think this car is amazing, I'm really skeptical that it will be able to compete with Mercedes and Porsche. I guess we will see.

Can we stop regurgitating Fords marketing slogans? This is not a GT3 rival, the GT3 is more than $100k cheaper and naturally aspirated. This is a GT2 competitor. Ford doesnt want to say that because they know that the GT2 is going to murder it so instead they claim the GT3 because they know that the 300 hp advantage is insurmountable.
Wait I am kinda confused, you said “this is not a GT3 rival” and then you said “is a GT2 competitor” So if it’s a GT2 competitor why are you saying “they know that the GT2 is going to M it” and then you said they claim it’s a GT3 Either I am confused or you mistyped or something, am I missing something?
@@TecDLogic It's quite simple, the OP means that Ford is pitching the GTD as a GT3 RS competitor instead of a GT2 RS competitor because Ford knows that the 2RS will give it back to Ford, so they're happy to market the GTD as a 3RS competitor because they know the extra 300hp over the 3RS is going to be difficult to beat.
@amarjit_singh_ So what's the point exactly ? They should market the car against something they can't beat, or they aren't allowed to beat another car because they have too much hp that makes it easy to beat the competition ? So basically every car in existence shouldn't be compared to benchmarked to beat a car they are made to beat because they have something that gives them too much of an advantage which was their entire goal ? Seriously how does this make any sense at all. Not only that but the commenter said 100k cheaper when a Porsche GT3RS starts at 230k - 250k at least without adding anything on it, it picks up 300k really easily. Also fun fact, the GT2RS is less than a seconds faster on the Nurburg than the GT3RS, so Ford has a very likely chance at beating it there.
@@leofhr2966 Ford can obviously cherry-pick any car to market against, it doesn't necessarily have to be a 911 or specifically a 911 GT3 RS! Having said that, looking at the price (300k USD and dealer mark ups) and horsepower (800hp), it seem more in the league of a GT2 RS (used 991 2RS are 350-420k USD). Comparing starting prices only, 3RS and GTD are about 80k USD apart, which is about 100k USD! And fyi the fun fact is completely wrong!

Why do you think this would be the last
@@duncanromano5419because liberals are trying to ban enthusiast cars
@@duncanromano5419because of environmental regulations
Holy crap.. this gtd is running front 325’s lol.. I could barely fit those in the rear of my 2020 California special lol.. wish I had 300k
345’s in the rear.. man. This thing is a beast.
@@user-kj7nw4zg1y expensive yes, but very comparable to the price range of its competitors. Price a gt3 rs brand new. You’re in the ballpark. With the technology in these gtd’s it’s worth every penny. Ford hit a grand slam with this one.
This is well beyond the level of a base GT3 for sure@@Murkman_D
Imagine the cost of the tires for this car. That's a lot of rubber. Did you notice how big the discs are? They look as big as the rim themselves.
I really needed it for the street,but I couldn’t get 325’s on the rear of my 04 Terminator.Even the 275’s on the front took 40 foot diameter to u-turn.
This is the first time i've clicked on a Top Gear video since the boys left. Only for the Mustang.
They should have called it the GDE.
God Damn Expensive.
Great cars usually are and you get what you pay for!
That ride looks sick.
Ford saw the direction Dodge was going and was like “Yeeaaaahh No”
Man, this car is the pinnacle and a evolution of the american muscle cars! It's so awesome! Surely Red Bull partnership in F1 help ford in the making of better sport cars.
No Red Bull involvement here. This car was created and built in cooperation with Multimatic of Canada, a world wide respected engineering firm that has built the 3rd gen. Ford GT and chassis for the Porsche Hyper car!
Why is everybody so excited about the GTD, it is not even being released until 2025. Other rivals would have had time by then to match the performance and put out something even better.
We don't care! This Mustang will surely make its mark.
WHAT a car that is looks incredible.
😳 😳 that thing is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
those vents are just soooo insane.
Not to mention fully functional!
looks insane cant wait for it to come out!
Me too! Only for me to look at it knowing i'll never own it. rip.
@@NikosM112 maybe itll come to the new forza motorsport lol
Me too so they can bring into the shop and line it up with all the other mustangs waiting for a rear main seal, and oil pan gasket. Complete waste of money, I work on these crap cars all of the parts are outsourced from China. Seen a lot of poorly made junk mustangs. Don’t waste your money on poorly made Ford.
Multimatic Motorsports made this. Its not off the Ford assembly line. Which mainstream auto company doesnt outsource some varous components from china these days. @@godzeus9702
@@godzeus9702 Sorry man but you are completely in the dark as far as this Mustang's design, build and engineering. I'll guess you never heard of Multimatic, a world wide respected engineering firm from Canada. They built the chassis for the Porsche 963 IMSA and WEC class racers. For this GTD, Ford sends the basic chassis to Multimatic and they hand build the car from there. State of the art high tech features in the suspension and chassis, this is not your father's Mustang! They will sell every one of the $300,000 GTDs, just like their previous build for Ford, the 3rd gen Ford GT!
My first time seeing a Ferrari Enzo in a bank parking lot, I thought I was in heaven. Now, as a "true" adult, seeing a GTD in person is going to be an even greater highlight.
Considering Ford's upcoming partnership with Red Bull Racing, I would love to see this car as a safety car in Formula 1! 🏎🚨🚔
@discobreak4715 - Now that would be over the top cool wouldn't it!!
Wish I can afford one, jeezus this ia one of the most beautiful Mustangs built
Just buy a regular Mustang, cut some garish holes on the side, slap on a giant wing, and throw a supercharger on the motor and no one would be able to tell that you didn't have a GTD.
@@T1Oracle Until you tried to race them! LOL P.S. Those "garish holes" are not for looks, they are fully functional as is every other exterior structure on the car!
This is gorgeous
It was so cool seeing you guys last week doing your thing. That picture is going in the new Driven Garage HQ! Cheers looking forward to reviewing this car one day. I got a 17 350R know the platform well.
Love it!

Now, that looks like a BEAST !! OHHH Yeahhh !
Can't wait to see this in action
5.2l V8 with supercharger and can spit out at least 800horses from its wheels what a monster

Everyone is going electric and Ford finally decides to go BEASTMODE on the car & price!
LOL was thinking how the Mustang has the Mach-E and the GTD now
I can't belive I am admitting that I would take this over the Porsche GT3 RS.😊😮
Are you crazy? This will drop in value compared to too a Porsche 🫨 and the bones of the vehicle are designed to be a $50,000 vehicle, not a $300,000 vehicle. It's just a cash grab. If you were to buy a $50,000 in mustang, if you removed the engine transmission all of the suspension and replaced it with aftermarket components. You could do the same for way less most car people know this shocking that you don't
The Ford GT was a new design from the ground up. They used some components from the Ford lineup of vehicles but mostly a brand new design deserving of the price tag at the time. This does not deserve the price tag in any way shape or form. You know that and I know that it's just a money grab. If they redesigned it completely or remade the chassis out of a different material like the Z06 back in the day from aluminum then I could see it and it still didn't deserve that kind of price tag increase . they were able to put it in a GM product. I'm not a GM fanboy but this is just an example . pine and simple It is a money grab and definitely not worth the money. I could see this car being close to $100,000 today's money but no way 300,000................
@@justinhamill1931you are ignorant. Other than the doors nothing on this car is from a regular mustang. Buy a new GT and make an exact copy of this for 100,000 dollars and I'll buy 2. Talk is cheap
@@justinhamill1931what are these bones you speak of? The emblem? Have you saw the rear suspension design? You think you're gonna just throw that in a regular mustang 🤔
@@justinhamill1931 You're a bit mentally challenged aren't you? You'd have to be to think you can just mod a Mustang and do what the GTD does. The reason Ford is making this is because it's not just a Mustang, they needed to sell a homologation car so they could race their GT3 car next year in FIA and WEC because this thing is has many components that are a complete redesign. It has a new tubular subframe that's lighter and stiffer, it's all carbon fiber, it's got a completely reworked bespoke rear mounted transaxle drivetrain and new inboard race suspension that completely changes the rear end of the car, active aero all over, a dry-sump beefed up 5.2 Predator engine under the hood (which in and of itself is a 30k engine stock), and more. This is a completely reworked *racecar* that Ford is making a road homologation for, this thing is exclusive and special, to call this "just a Mustang" is as stupid as people that called the GR Yaris "just a Yaris" and shows a complete lack of understanding for the history and the significance of race homologation specials. Every homologation car in history (such as this GTD) has appreciated in value, there's every expectation and historical president that this'll do the same.
Yes, it’s a 300k Stang but the engineering is worth that. Especially if thats the car they’re taking to Le Mans. The GT3 RS is based on a lower tier Porsche too
The GTD is a street car based on the GT3. It is not legal for road racing due to several features on it.
4:28 A rear mount? (Radiator)
Probably gets air from the vents in the rear quarter panel. For a car like this rear mount rads arent uncommon.
The rear radiator is for the transaxle.
When I first saw the headline Mustang GTD a few weeks I must admit I thought Ford was making a diesel powered GT and thought to myself why… after reading the article I was stoked to be mistaken.
Not a fan of mustangs at all, but this thing looks amazing.
The world need more American race cars.
I imagine the pleasure of cleaning that F22 parts 🤤
You go deaf after a while, even with ear protection. Hydraulic fluid is also a pain to clean.
I didn't know whether to smile or cry when I heard that. RIP 🪦 F-22
Wow! A 50/50 Mustang?! So cool. If I get rich, I would love to get one. I’ve never wanted a Mustang real bad until now!!
It’s a passion project. But also fabulous for the brand. 👏
Jim Farley, Ford's CEO, is an amateur racer and said he always dreamed of a Mustang like this, so give him the deserved credit for its existence!!
I would give my right arm to have one of those parked in my drive.... of course then I would not be able to drive it!! I could still wake up every morning, pop outside and fire it up, just to stir the noisey neighbours...Beautiful car, best looking Mustang yet.
300K for a Ford. This must be a serious monster
The GT was even more expensive and being a "non-premium" brand doesnt mean they cant build expensive vehicles.
@Rad-lc8gf I never said they couldn't. The Ford GT had a high price tag as well. Now, let's be real. Most people with that kind of cash to drop on a car aren't looking for a Mustang.
@@kevintownsend3840- Prospective buyers don't really care what the name is on the vehicle.

Ford GT, they will easily sell every GTD they build. No sitting on lots deteriorating like the Vipers did! LOL

Best mustang ever! 🤘🇺🇸
3:31 did i just see overspray, yikes. 300k for paint imperfections
You do realize this is just a pre-production model, on display for the media. It doesn't even have the correct interior, and I doubt if there's nothing more than a stock Mustang engine in it.
goddamn it actually looks so damn beautiful, great job ford!
Without the ugly dark horse 🐎 badges
That's the sharpest looking Mustang. ❤️🇺🇸
This embarases Chevy and dodge because they discontinuing the v8s
After the Americans took away the mojo from Italy‘s Ferrari in terms of glorious NA V8 mid engine supersportscar greatness with the mindblowingly excellent Corvette C8 Z06,
now Germany is next, with this Mustang GTD getting ready and poised to stomp the 911 GT3/2 RS!
Oh what a time it is to be alive
🇺🇸🫡
I might be ignorant here please enlight me. The gt3 rs has around 500HP. This one has 800HP. Why are people saying for some time now this competes with the gt3 rs when it's a different power class? And considering that, a sub 7 Ring time doesn't sound too impressive
Because of power to weight ratio. Mustangs are heavy cars these days.
Noticing no ones mentioning the black series.
@@DChrlsthis is a GT3 race car chassis with active aero and 200 more horsepower. Not a road car turned race car like the GT3RS but a race car turned road car. Imagine if Porsche took their 911 R GT3 race car and gave it the engine from the GT2RS. THAT'S what this is. Ford is purposely playing down how insane this car is lol. It's gonna be super light - likely well under 3000 pounds. The Porsche is a pig by comparison.
@@spdcrzy
The GTD starts off as an off the assembly line chassis. What they call a chassis in the white.
Then it is sent to Multimatic and they modify the stock chassis to create the final product.
@@DChrls that's EXACTLY what I said. But the weight of the production car has nothing to do with the weight of the race car. The body in white gets turned into FIA GT3 spec regardless, which means even after adding the supercharger and additional cooling and DCT transaxle, it still won't weigh more than a GT3 RS.
This is why Ford is the Best 🇺🇲🇺🇲

Good video. Just 1 thing.. Don't lean on a car if it isn't yours. People really need to stop that. A cop did it to me and I told him to stop touching my car. It's really irritating.
The car has a unique design from the gt500 and the coyote. Ford is going full on from the GT. I LOVE IT. There dedication is incredible. They up there engine and power to a v8 supercharger. The aerodynamics in the car will make it faster with the weight reduction. Do you think the price will drop by 2027?
Very unlikely. Ford has initial plans to make just 1,000 - 2,000. The 3rd gen. GT went up slightly in price after it was introduced. Wait until you see what these go for 2nd hand at auction!
WOWWWWW MUSTANG!!!
A run in the paint at 3:31 !!!? really? 🤣 But yea, Stunning in a word, not a huge fan of Mustangs but that is something else
Your looking at a mock up. It's not even in production yet and you won't find any runs in the finished product. Not in a $300,000 car.
this car just feels like the culmination of carol shelbys hopes and dreams. ford proved you can make a race horse out of mule
How has there not been any GTD vs Ford GT content yet?
@kengray16Two completely different vehicles racing in different classes. The Ford GT has completed its organized racing program in GTLM Class IMSA racing. This GTD Mustang hasn't even started production and won't until end of next year or early 2025. There is already plenty of technical info and diagrams available showing how the GTD will be configured.
@kengray1663 - The GTD is not normally aspirated, it's supercharged!
@Loulovesspeed yeah, the 2023 GT isn't Streat legal either. I deleted that comment right after I sent it but ig it still made it through.
@kengray1663 - The 2025 Mustang GTD will be street legal! Not sure where you're getting your info from, but they are wrong!

GTD = GT "Daytona"
I am a huge ford guy. I've owned 4 mustangs in my life, the most recent is a 2023 mach1. As much as I think this car is amazing, I'm really skeptical that it will be able to compete with Mercedes and Porsche. I guess we will see.

3:32 good ol ford paintjob, nice run in the paint lol.
Concept car, pre-production
Can we stop regurgitating Fords marketing slogans? This is not a GT3 rival, the GT3 is more than $100k cheaper and naturally aspirated. This is a GT2 competitor. Ford doesnt want to say that because they know that the GT2 is going to murder it so instead they claim the GT3 because they know that the 300 hp advantage is insurmountable.
Wait I am kinda confused, you said “this is not a GT3 rival” and then you said “is a GT2 competitor”
So if it’s a GT2 competitor why are you saying “they know that the GT2 is going to M it” and then you said they claim it’s a GT3
Either I am confused or you mistyped or something, am I missing something?
Not GT3, GT3 RS.
@@TecDLogic It's quite simple, the OP means that Ford is pitching the GTD as a GT3 RS competitor instead of a GT2 RS competitor because Ford knows that the 2RS will give it back to Ford, so they're happy to market the GTD as a 3RS competitor because they know the extra 300hp over the 3RS is going to be difficult to beat.
@amarjit_singh_ So what's the point exactly ? They should market the car against something they can't beat, or they aren't allowed to beat another car because they have too much hp that makes it easy to beat the competition ? So basically every car in existence shouldn't be compared to benchmarked to beat a car they are made to beat because they have something that gives them too much of an advantage which was their entire goal ? Seriously how does this make any sense at all. Not only that but the commenter said 100k cheaper when a Porsche GT3RS starts at 230k - 250k at least without adding anything on it, it picks up 300k really easily. Also fun fact, the GT2RS is less than a seconds faster on the Nurburg than the GT3RS, so Ford has a very likely chance at beating it there.
@@leofhr2966 Ford can obviously cherry-pick any car to market against, it doesn't necessarily have to be a 911 or specifically a 911 GT3 RS! Having said that, looking at the price (300k USD and dealer mark ups) and horsepower (800hp), it seem more in the league of a GT2 RS (used 991 2RS are 350-420k USD). Comparing starting prices only, 3RS and GTD are about 80k USD apart, which is about 100k USD! And fyi the fun fact is completely wrong!
Saw the GTD at LA auto show and looked at the parts display and knew it had to be Ford GT type money and I was right ! That driveline assy, wow
Stand back pedestrians, stand WAY back!
