Congratulations on being the FIRST American car under 7 minutes! Well done!
Yep, now I want the new ZR1 to show what it can do!
should have been the dodge viper
@@hertzwave8001I believe the vipers have still gone faster, or at least into the 6's, just not factory backed...
@hertzwave8001 yes the factory backed 2017 Viper ACR was on pace for sub 7min before it crashed due to a tire failure & the factory backing was pulled before they could try again. Then the crowd funded Viper ACR ran a 7:01, very impressive as a manual transmission and no factory backing, and is 6+ years old. All the tech in today's cars plus the tire advancements makes it even more impressive, as well as costing a fraction of the price. The ACR set 16 lap records in one year too.
@rondail5675 The GTD is a very sophisticated track car (I'm not listing all the tech & engineering components, too long to list), basically a GT3 race car with a license plate on the back, while the ZR1 is more of a supercar 1064hp with creature comforts & amenities for the street, hits high top speed, 1200lbs of downforce & will be able to track very well too. I'm guessing the GTD for more technical tracks, ZR1 where you have more straights. Either way it's a win win. Competition is always great. I own multiple Z06's as well as R35 GTR & others but I always welcome competition.
I'm not a FORD guy but I must admit, this is SICK.......nobody can speak ill on this craziness. Mad props
Cool it was sub 7 min but was expecting much faster? Waaay more tech, engineering, R&D, $325k+ starting price and only barely 4 sec faster than the old 2017 Gen 5 Viper ACR (manual too) that ran 7:01 and was crowd funded to run, not factory like Ford (the factory backed Viper ACR was on pace for sub 7min before it crashed due to a tire failure & the factory backing was pulled before they could try again). I just think it's interesting that a basically GT3 car with a license plate bolted on and partnership with Multimatic and a TON of tech, DRS/active aero, carbon everywhere, straight cut transaxle from a GT3 racecar, carbon driveshaft, sophisticated suspension, 50/50 weight distribution, massively wide tires, magnesium wheels, etc (I could go on & on), & costing well over twice as much, was barely faster than 6+ year old Viper that was manual transmission and wasn't factory supported to run. Congrats to Ford on sub 7 though.
I have no allegiance to Dodge, I do like the Viper but just making a non bias observation. I do give huge props to Ford (w/Multimatic) for creating the Mustang GTD project, I absolutely love the 100% aggressive track focused approach with this car.
@@Tranceport913This was done in wet/damp conditions. Time will improve a lot on a dry track
@@Tranceport913 an outstanding achievement, one happy team
@surflix4306 I agree. Just thought it'd be a bit quicker, but I guess with "optimal perfect conditions" it has much potential to go faster, by how much we'll see. The Mercedes AMG GT Black Series record was in sub optimal conditions, damp track in the fall. Props to Ford on the GTD project non the less.
@@Tranceport913it’s always a mopar guy…
That supercharged V8 sounds godly
No it don’t

@@NewAni-002keep crying and hating Ford is on top GM or Dodge cant compete 🏁
I believe you mean ungodly is the expression.
I know what you mean but I would say it sounds like the Devil 👿
As a huge Viper guy I would like to say congratulations Ford and thank you for keeping V8 muscle cars alive.
American muscle cars are one of the best thing coming from the US.
Huuge fan of the Viper too. It blew my mind when i saw it in Bruxelles when it came out. (when i was younger, sniff...)
The challenger/charger are muscle cars, this is a sports car
It’s coming back to dodge and other Chrysler vehicles 😎
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777mustangs are most certainly muscle cars but live in ur own world ig
@@mags.7Nah it's like the Corvette. Is it a muscle car? Sports car? No, it's what currently makes some Euro the most upset to hear 😜
THANK YOU for posting the full, unedited race lap! That was incredible. Well done all.
Driving is an art form this is absolutely incredible
True story. Sixty years or so ago, a couple of guys where trying to keep up with someone who they thought kept waving at them through the back windshield of a pickup truck when he every time he entered a bad curve. They found out later that he wasn't waving; he was raising a beer to keep from spilling it.
Congratulations to the team that made this happen! You deserve the recognition and praise.
Yea multimatic definitely not ford 🤣

Beautiful
We are here for this energy.

Why I'm having mixed feelings watching this amazing record lap? Should I disclose my engineering analysis to you Ford Motor Company? Because I have been thinking about some other cars and I really loved the GTD. Although it isn't my priority - I'm sure Multimatic have been working very hard until now - I was thinking about the performance and I wanted to discuss it personally with you.
How can I contact some americans who officially work for Ford in order to break down the dynamics of the record?
@@patricklopes-vtec Keep making youtube comments, that should work.
@@patricklopes-vtec unless you want to discuss the real problem which is the heavy steel factory chassis and doors then you're wasting everyone's time.
@@ford achieve the goal that you set. Celebration and congratulations comes after. Stop with the participation trophy energy.
Got to 187 mph in the straight....thats moving for a car this size.....just amazing!!!!
Yes but it was 301 kph... : )
@@saddist1Gtownwe don’t like that measurement
A Tesla Plaid driven by Misha Reached 306km/h or 191mph on that Stretch
@@CaptainKedahalso ~400more hp and way less downforce
@@N54brycethe GT2RS did 310 kph with 100+ less hp and did it like 6 years ago

Well done AMAZING LAP and definitely an AMAZING CAR! Great effort and congrats to the entire team at Ford GTD. 💪
Congratulations with the achievement this is definitely something very special
Thanks, Ford. Now I have a new soundtrack to listen to in the shower.
I was on my way into the shower when I seen this comment.
It's perfect.
Proud owner of 2 Mustangs. Well done,Ford!
What a sweet sound that is!
WOW!! Full chill bumps! 300kmh & the howl of that V8 was wicked!
301 sir
Pretty much hit the "like" button as soon as I heard the engine. Pretty much right when the video started. Ford V8s forever.
Outstanding Dirk!
Making the point clear why you are a Le Mans winner Sir 👍
Amazing driving skills, what a great performance! Mustang GTD and Ford making history.
That car wouldn’t even be close to what it is now if it was made entirely by ford. Don’t get me wrong it would still be an insane car but without the help of multimatic it would probably be in the competition range of a c8 zo6 if even that. I’m interested to see how the c8 zr1 does though because it’s entirely Chevy made and somehow still cheaper than the gtd. Not trying to take away from the accomplishment of ford but I feel like it may soon be dethroned.
@DeerDemolishertwo completely different cars. People like you that compare the two have no clue. This is still a 4 seater with 2 deleted back seats, a steel frame, muscle/pony car and the Vette is a sport/super car
@@tylerking27 no, the mustang gtd is a purpose built gt3 car. The corvette is simply a high performance sports car. But you are right two completely different things. But based off what it’s designed for and who it was designed by the mustang gtd should be miles above the corvette. Yet it’s not, even with the higher price. Why is that?
@ the corvette is an all aluminum sub frame car and the GTD has the same steel frame unibody as the base Mustang. That’s the point they’re trying to make with this car, but too many people are too dumb to figure that out. If they wanted to go faster they would’ve made the GT MK IV street legal or at least made something off of that platform, but they’re trying to prove that they can make a pony car as fast as tubbed sports & supercars. And they did
@@tylerking27 but then brings back the point that they didn’t actually make it, multimatic did.
That V8 is so angry! 😤 beautiful work guys!
why its hungry ?
Puts foot on gas: *loud mustang noises*
Driver: *stomps the pedal coming out of every turn*
Mustang: *Loud Freedom noises intensifies*
Music to my ears and Ford has done a great job
Thanks for THIS video. Actual in car full video. Yesterday I wasted 14 minutes watching someone else’s vid that only had 2 minutes of driving and someone talking thru it all
That 14 minute video would've been from Ford too.
This was badass. Kudos to the driver (and all the support team staff)..... and yeah, I'll take one Mustang GTD please.
I recall GM saying they took the front engine rear wheel drive platform as far as they could with the last ZR-1 vette, and it never made a sub 7 min lap here. Congratulations to Ford and everyone else involved with this truly historic achievement!
They said they took that Corvette platform as far as they could. A platform that dated back to the early 80s! Also the C7 ZR1 was a third of the price of a GTD. Throw 40k USD in specific upgrades and the C7 ZR1 will be Sub 7 minutes. Now the upcoming C8 ZR1 will absolutely best the GTD time and will still have an MSRP 150k less than the GTD.
what is left from the original Mustang platform? And why is Ford not able to build fast track cars by themself?
Watch out for thhe bowtie babies😂
@farangatang I sure hope so, after going mid engine😂
@Zonkobel Whine and qualify it all you want, it's going to be no less of a production vehicle than anything that has carried the name zr1
Dirk Mueller knows every inch of that track. Great drive by him
Dirk Muller does a great job driving the Mustang GT3 as a Ford factory driver. Now he's in the record books with the Mustang GTD at the Nurburgring
That really was some serious, real deal driving by the pilot of this Mustang.
They've come a LONG way with the suspension on the Mustang over the years. Well done.
That lap is so clean and tight, GTD+Dirk=bananas !!!
Amazing lap! The sound of that engine is heavenly!
While Camaro is dead, and Dodge is trashing the Charger's name, we have this beauty
That Mustang sounds fantastic
Congratulations Ford for this achievement! And also for still making great V8 machines where nowadays a bunch of other car companies are going to the wrong direction.
This GTD is reminding me why I fell in love with the fox body as a kid. Congrats to the Ford team following in the footsteps of the GT40 team and creating a new monster for gear heads to love for generations.
3:15 exiting burgwerk and accelerating all the way to mutkurve. Just wow.
its a rough bit of the track if you are flat out thats for sure.
I’ll never own one, but as a lifelong Ford fan, I’m just so glad something like this is available. It is a dream to one day be able to see one of these irl.
6:57 of magic. Those sounds are freaking incredible. Can't wait to get behind the wheel of this thing!
American Metal screaming! Great job , fantastic lap. Thanks for posting it
What a run in these conditions! 👏😮
Always been a UK Ford fan since I was a kid watching Ford in saloon car racing, rallying and banger racing.
Not forgetting Ford related Cosworth engines dominating in F1.
Then there was the Mustang in movies as driven by Steve McQueen in Bullitt with its amazing V8 roar.
Ford has always given the working man cars to enjoy driving that could compete with the exotic ‘super cars’ from Italy.
The Mustang was and is the epitome of cool 👍🇺🇸❤️🏴
Definitely agreed man, American v8 is the working man's supercar. This is it's potential.
@ not in Britain US V8s have always been a rarity we wanted but muscle cars were either expensive, or in the 70s/80s strangled by emissions rules, fitted with lousy suspension and poor build quality.
Ford in Britain and Europe were more about straight 4s and V6s with rear wheel drive ( Capris and Escort mark 1/2s) then front wheel drive Escorts etc.
Ford UK didn’t even start officially selling the Mustang here until around 10 years ago.
@@nigeh5326 And from what I've read, the Mustangs being sold overseas are neutered, therefore the Euro buyers are not getting the full experience.
Basically after the karussell it was still looking pretty damp, which is honestly amazing it got a sub-7:00 in those conditions
No one does it better FORD for life 🎉😊
Thanks, great work, Team!
Born and raised in Detroit…While GM is more concerned these days about being a Chinese brand…Ford Motor Company is showing the world that there’s an American brand that’s still alive and well, taking no prisoners on the racetrack. Thanks for making us proud, Ford! 🇺🇸 💪
A Chinese brand? What Chinese brand offers a 1064 hp car for less than 200k
@ yeah, a chinese brand. When GM took that bailout money in 2008 and used it on their chinese factories and chinese workers, while giving Michigan/American workers the shaft and letting them suffer with plant closures…that’s all I needed to know about GM. They’re a chinese brand through and through.
Ford never turned its back on my home state, and has pumped billions into the revival of Detroit, and thats why I drive a Ford, goddammit.
Now, about those rubber timing belts in oil...
@@hughmongous5089BYD...
Congrats ford, I was eagerly waiting for this, insanely impressive for doing that on a wet track!
Theres something about a mustang that creates that energy no matter where you are or what you like, it's always a head turner!
Letting that V8 stretch @3:25 🐎🚀😎
Perfect lap and mad driving skills. The Ford GTD is an impressive American muscle car. Jaw dropping!!
Best sound machine right here ✅
What a lovely sound
The biggest accomplishment was keeping this time secret from August to early December.
Ford: builds really fast track car
Also Ford: the warranty will be voided if you drive this car fast on a race track
If you race competitively against other vehicles. Taking it to the track for "spirited" driving, is okay.
@@marias2tone And only simultaneously so even a competitive time trial, hill climb. auto cross, top speed run.. etc, are all fine.
This is pretty much standard language in any new car's warranty. Door to door racing will void the warranty.
The engine sounds like it's going to blow up at anytime.
@@ralphcrisp2896 The closer an engine is to total destruction, the better it performs
Stop projecting your Toyota insecurities
I’ve been rooting for Ford. Your stories feel sentimental to me, this is just empowering and bold. Mr. Shelby would have been so proud.
Can't wait to see you guys go back.
Ford is flexing its muscles with this. It’s genuinely amazing how it gets 800hp onto the road without lighting up the tires every time, especially considering that it’s front engine and doesn’t have the luxury of a rear mounted engine pushing the tires into the ground on throttle. Marvel of engineering. On the other hand, I imagine this setup here has semi slicks (minimum), 6 speed racing sequential, racing differential, and I’m not sure that the car will be released w/drs either, but still though; modern masterpiece. Ford back on top.
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R's just as the car will be delivered, and the same Tremec DCT 8-speed transaxle as the production car. In the documentary you can see the tires being warmed in blankets to prep the car but they are in fact the "street" tires that many manufacturers are delivering their ultra high performance models with nowadays. The only changes to this car are additional safety items such as the rollbar, seat, and restraints for obvious reasons.
Vipers put 1500+ hp to the ground with Rwd, they run 2 second 60-130 mph times on the street
Amazing run.
The GTD run was fun to watch. 😊
It's not a dry track either !!!!! Nuts !
yeah, the cadence of the accelerator pedal is super enjoyable, many could learn from Dirk's effort. Dirk knows the ring well, and ripped the car through it, quite impressive! Great sound from that Merkin V ATE
Best car manufacturer in the world hands down, cannot be beaten.
Except this car isn’t made by Ford , Multimatic designed and built
@@mikeyrossi71 the weak link is the heavy steel factory chassis and doors.
Here in America we say it's a Ford, then jump into our Honda because they are reliable 😂
@@mikeyrossi71not really multimatic only supplied the advanced semi-active suspension system. the rest is ford.
ok, settle down Ricky.
You're defo coming up for more. Great work.
Wow what a beast, driver and car
Man, that was a fun video, and congratulations on the sub 7 minute lap.
Great run. Congratulations. This confirms how great the Porsche 992 GT3 RS is..
There's a reason they've been near impossible to purchase since launch and sell used for more than RRP even 8 years on.
@@Jadder88z put in your deposit and wait. Maybe you'll get lucky and get an allocation.. 👍
Even the regular GT3 is still faster with “only” 530hp, kinda underwhelmed by the GTD.
Regular gt3 is not faster, zl1s would go head to head with the gt3.
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777 ZL1.. Sure.. 😂
You did it; congratulations I haven't even watched the video yet.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 💪.
Not to downplay this tremendous achievement, but I am confident that in fact, a few seconds wäre still left to be shaved off of that already impressive time.
Much respect and congratulations to the Americans, and in particular Ford Motor Company 👍🏻
That sounds amazing, and fantastic driving
6 minutes of pure glory

mustang forever baby🐎
The fact that there's a center-mounted B&O speaker in the frame of this entire 7 minute run...
I am glad those sunday drivers like misha are not bothering pro drivers around the track in this machine!
I Bought the Mustand dark horse this year... now you guys make this car....!
Amazing machine
So, while Dodge is trying hard to electrify the Dodge Charger... Ford is doing this 😁
*Stellantis*
Dodge dominated with the ACR for almost a decade on track , nobody
Had more lap records than the ACR. That time has come and went
They are also doing a Dakar with the Raptor! If you haven’t seen those videos, wow, is all I can say about their production and content!
Ford has an electric Mustang as well...😉
You mean Multimatic
I’m a huge Porsche guy but man oh man, the sound that this thing makes is out of this world! Great job Ford!
Who said Mustangs won't turn ? This car does it ALL ! Let's GO Ford !
unbelievable! as a whipple mustang gt pp1 owner, i was hooked on this video! engine sounds amazing.
Pretty cool. This thing sounds alive and hungry it wants to go on the attack. Love it. 🇺🇸🐴🇩🇪🏁
Always in the right gear, great job driver!!!...
I LOVE FORD!!!
That's the power of American muscle. 🦅🦅.I absolutely love the GTD.I love ford
HOLY CRAP, THAT THING FLYS
Why is no one talking about how theres literally water on the track a 6:57 in wet conditions is mental
Facts, Ford said they're going back next year. It was raining prior to them testing so they really did that on wet conditions. Pretty sure the GTD can go +10 sec faster on optimal conditions
“…the track wasn’t THAT wet…” said every single Porsche fan boy in the comments section…as the puddles go past the camera!!🤣😂
Congratulations to both the car and driver!
0:12 liking the warranty warning. So I guess time-attack sessions with 1 car on track at a time are ok and does not void the warranty?
😂
Dirk that must have been one fun spin! Awesome performance all around!
Very impressive Ford. Well done.
Wow, that is an amazing machine. Well done Ford GTD development, you have created an excellent track attack mustang. I'm a Corvette guy, but my hat's off to you today, that is an amazing machine and a great run on the ring. 👍🏽

The car looks and sounds fantastic - best mustang to date
This just makes the 7.01 time for the Dodge Viper ACR that much more incredible. The Dodge Viper didn't have a fancy DCT or boost and almost broke into the 6 minute range.
Could've, would've, should've... It didn't and I am sure the Viper had some decent tech for its time. Would love to see the Viper try and run a 7 second lap on a damp track.
@marias2tone bro the Dodge Viper ACR has more track records than any production car in existence, even my beloved Nissan GTR doesn't have 13 track records. The Dodge Viper is a beast and there is no denying that.
Mercedes Benz AMG GT Black Series was at this similar price point. It was faster in so called damp conditions. Lap here was in August. Ford tried again after AMG ONE in late September but chose not to lap on a damp track like Black Series.
Viper was not a factory attempt like here. A few upgrades would made it under 7 min. We have to give some credit but time is around what I predicted when was released.
@@The-Cadillac-Lawyer-ZL1 I didn't say it wasn't a beast of a car. It just wasn't as beastly as the GTD was at Nurburgring.
Yabba friggin' dabba doo!!!! Sounds great! Looks killer! Great job!
Those downshifts….to die for 🎉
It's mind-boggling how early and aggressively this car is able to get the power down from apex. Along with the evident damping perfection ... Congratulations to all involved.
Mustang always keeping the muscle car legacy alive, the pinnacle of its kind... Chevy and Dodge fans its time to admit it
Dodge fans think that ev is a muscle car and can't admit the mustang is the last muscle car standing. Hardcore dodge fans are something else. They remind me of democrats here in California.
You two forgot the acr or what? Only manual in the world to achieve 7 minutes and the factory backed was set to go sub 7. GTD is a monster, but dodge did nearly the same with a manual, an automatic acr with today's technology would compete with the gt3 rs.
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777 I agree the viper is great but that’s not what this comment what about, the comment was about how dodge and Chevy fans will still crap on the mustang even though it’s still alive and the hellcat and Camaro aren’t
@@kikoelargento9905 I'm a corvette and camaro fan, but I still love the gtd
What a Growling Beast.!
Brilliant Production…
Best V8 sound on the Nurburgring! Keep it up Ford!
I really enjoy driving my Bullitt Mustang. Thank you to my lovely wife for buying it for me.
I have a 2019 Bullitt. I put on Steeda dual rate springs, sway bars, diff bushing kit, stop the hop kit, vertical links, MGW short shifter, McCloud Clutch, one piece alum drive shaft, trans bushing, metal braided clutch line a set of wider wheels and tires and a few more other things I can't think of right now. Handles like a go cart!
Congrats!! It is refreshing to see an American car out there instead of the usual German ones. I will probably watch this a few times a week if thats ok with you guys at Ford.
I wish Sabine was alive to take a few laps in the GTD.
Congratulations, that was incredible!!!
