Ford releases new Mustang GTD: carbon fiber body, 800 horsepower super power

News on August 21, Ford recently released its new supercar Mustang The GTD, a high-performance car designed for the track, will begin limited production late next year. The supercar is renowned for its performance and advanced racing technology and is considered one of Ford's most powerful road-going models ever.

The Mustang GTD uses carbon fiber materials to build the body, which not only reduces the weight of the vehicle, but also improves the rigidity and stability of the vehicle. According to Ford, the car's design is inspired by the Mustang GT3 race car that will compete in Le Mans and is the result of a partnership with race car manufacturer Multimatic. The "GTD" in the model name stands for GT Daytona, which is a level in the American Motor Sports Association (IMSA) racing championship that complies with the GT3 specifications of the International Automobile Federation (FIA)

According to the editor's understanding, Mustang The GTD is powered by a heavily modified supercharged V8 engine that produces more than 800 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful Mustangs Ford has ever produced. The engine features racing-grade components, including a dry sump, dual air intakes and a titanium valve exhaust system, designed to deliver outstanding performance.

In terms of chassis and suspension, Mustang GTD has obvious differences from the standard model. It uses a semi-active suspension system that can adjust spring stiffness and body height according to different driving modes to achieve better suspension performance and driving experience. The front suspension adopts a racing-style "short-arm" design to improve overall rigidity and responsiveness. The rear suspension is mounted on a lightweight tubular subframe, which is the same design as the GT3 racing car

In terms of aerodynamic design, Mustang The GTD draws on the experience of the GT3 racing car and is equipped with a hydraulically adjustable rear wing, a ventilated bonnet, a powerful front spoiler and a rear diffuser that reduces drag. These design elements not only increase downforce at high speeds, but also provide better cornering stability. In terms of braking, the car uses large-size carbon ceramic brake discs, which can provide excellent braking performance during high-speed driving and track driving.

The interior of Mustang GTD has been modified to be closer to racing style. The front seats use Recaro sports seats, and the digital display and infotainment system are retained. In order to reduce weight, the interior of the car uses titanium alloy from recycled F22 fighter jets to 3D print knobs, nameplates and shift paddles. It is worth mentioning that in order to further reduce the weight of the vehicle, the Mustang GTD has removed the rear seats
