MUSTANG GTD SPIRIT OF AMERICA IS A PATRIOTIC SPECIAL EDITION... BECAUSE 'MURICA.
In the world of high-performance cars, few names evoke as much passion as the Ford Mustang, it is the world’s best-selling sportscar, of course. To celebrate six decades of dominance, innovation, and gung-ho American spirit, Ford has unveiled the Mustang GTD Spirit of America - a limited-edition masterpiece that pays homage to the Mustang's storied history and the ingenuity that defines American engineering. The Mustang’s journey began in 1962 when a small team transformed a compact sedan into the icon we know today. From its debut victory at the 1964 Tour de France (not the cycle race, duh!) to becoming the first American-branded car to lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, the Mustang has always been a symbol of patriotism and performance. The Mustang GTD Spirit of America takes this legacy a step further. Its design, engineering, and presence evoke screaming eagles and star-bangled boxers while shooting a Winchester in the air. Ford Design has crafted an awesome visual identity for the Spirit of America edition. Its Performance White body features twin racing stripes in Race Red and Lightning Blue, a nod to the iconic red, white, and blue Mustang Tribar logo introduced way back in 1964. These stripes also tip a hat to the overalls worn by land-speed record legend Craig Breedlove, who shattered the 500- and 600-mph barriers in the 1960s. Exposed carbon fibre accents add to the ‘Stang’s aggressive stance and aerodynamics, appearing on the front splitter, rear diffuser, and spoiler. The spoiler, with Race Red end plates and a bold “MUSTANG” wordmark on its underside, ensures that anyone trailing will know exactly what just roared past them. It’s a good thing it’s not on the front of the car or no one would ever see it - the GTD is faaast!
Inside, the Mustang GTD Spirit of America is as refined as it is performance-focused. The leather-trimmed seats feature Dinamica inserts, accented by a Race Red gradient stripe and Victory Blue contrast stitching. Titanium paddle shifters and interior trim, crafted using new, advanced 3D printing techniques, add a bit of a futuristic touch to the cabin. This package-specific interior combines luxury with functionality, offering up a cockpit that feels both exclusive and ready for the racetrack. Underneath its patriotic skin, the 2025 Mustang GTD Spirit of America boasts the same staggering performance as the standard GTD model. Powered by a supercharged 5.2-litre V8, it delivers a freaking amazing power output of 600 kW and a stinking 900 Nm of torque. Paired with a top speed of 325 km/h, it’s the most powerful and fastest street-legal Mustang ever produced. The Performance Package, standard on this edition, includes advanced suspension tuning, active aerodynamics, and a race-derived braking system. As Jim Owens, Mustang GTD Brand Manager, puts it: “Mustang GTD wouldn’t have been possible without people like Craig Breedlove, pushing the edge of the envelope and challenging the Goliaths of the day in an all-American way.” He added: “Mustang GTD is the pinnacle of Mustang performance. Mustang GTD Spirit of America celebrates the daring behind that performance. Mustang GTD wouldn't have been possible without people like Craig Breedlove, pushing the edge of the envelope and challenging the Goliaths of the day in an all-American way.”
