Ford MustangⓇ GTD: Road to the Ring

Only five production sports cars have achieved a sub-7-minute lap at Germany’s notorious Nürburgring. It’s 12.94 miles of hard bumps, blind turns, elevation change and relentless g-force.

To even attempt this feat, an elite team worked relentlessly over two years to create the highest-horsepower Mustang ever developed by Ford.

Can the street-legal Mustang GTD join the sub-7-minute elite? Buckle up.

Okay, that supercharger screaming like an eagle and the car performing under 7 minutes. The car is not a dud; it's an historic achievement!

As a Ford customer I want to say something, please Ford, never stop building this masterpieces. Awesome ❤

The shots, the editing, the pace of this video are as extraordinary as the lap itself. This is how you do it.

I never thought I'd see the day when a Mustang went sub-7 around the Nurburgring. Congratulations to the whole team and to Dirk for the amazing driving. This Mustang owner is proud of you all!

Been a mustang owner for 30 years now.
I own a 1969, a foxbody, a new edge, a 1996 cobra, a 1995 cobra drag car, and now a 2016 modified Gt premium.
They all are amazing machines and they rarely let me down.
Mustangs owners and Ford nuts are a special breed.
We are a family...Congrats to the newest member of our family... The GTD.
We are proud of all of you...
GO WIN...

I’m a Corvette guy but well done Ford! Great team and great work and congrats on a great lap time! 🎉 This is historical!

I had the honor of being part of the team that shipped the cars over to the Ring. It was a team effort from beginning to end, but I am so proud to be a small part of this giant achievement. Thanks to Ford and Multimatic for the opportunity to make dreams come true!

My grandpa was a ford engineer, my father in law worked on the line at ford, i have owned 9 Fords in my life with my most recent purchase being a 2023 F350 and I plan on staying loyal to ford as long as they keep us consumers happy like they have here with this amazing car. The mustang is the greatest muscle car of all time and I'll argue with anyone who says otherwise! Amazing video and congratulations on joining the sub 7 club!

187MPH (301 KPH) down one of the straights (which there are not much of)!!!! This life long Ford fan is so PROUD of you! Way more left in it

[MrAttyjones]

I bought my first mustang in ‘98. I’m currently driving a ‘22 gt. I’m one pleased customer. Seeing a mustang go round the ring brings a smile to my face. Well done. Thanks for not giving up on an icon.

Just for everyone wanting to see it, the official in car footage from the lap was posted on the official Nurburgring YouTube channel.

Love it. Literally woke up this morning knowing this video had dropped and picked up my phone and watched. Awesome job Ford and multi Matic. I already love my Mustang, but this makes me love it even more.

I saw my first mustang as a kid in 1966 when my sister‘s teacher brought her home in her yellow Mustang.
I have been a lifelong Ford fan and Mustang is one of my favorite cars. This is a very proud moment!!!!
Go

[GRIMREAPER-xinj]

In the new world of hybrid and electric cars I’m glad ford is sticking to its heritage and history, proud to be a ford owner!

[bobbyspade]

Congratulations!!! I don't know why this makes me feel so proud, I'm 53 and haven't owned a Mustang since my '01 Cobra but maybe it's time to get back in a Pony Car.
