When you put the spurs to the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, a tuned version of Ford’s naturally aspirated Coyote V-8 pushing an even 500 horsepower howls through a standard active exhaust. In our testing, we hustled a manual-transmission-equipped model like the one we had at Chuckwalla to a 0–60-mph time of 4.1 seconds.

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is stunningly easy to drive fast, a true cheat code for both road and racetrack. At 4,386 pounds, it outweighs the Mustang Dark Horse and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, yet feels planted, stable, and shockingly quick from behind the wheel. With 815 horsepower, 664 lb-ft of torque, custom Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the GTD delivers relentless grip, massive stopping power, and confidence through every corner. It matches the GT3 RS on high-speed downforce turns and outperforms it in tight, low-speed corners thanks to its wide tires and advanced rear suspension. On the street, the GTD remains forgiving and composed, with adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics that make it livable. Inside, though, the $325,000 Mustang shows its weak spot — an interior closer to a $40,000 car. Still, Ford has already received far more applications than available build slots for this limited-production machine. Ford calls it “a supercar with the soul of a Mustang,” and the GTD proves it on track and on the road.
