DEARBORN, Mich., May 22, 2024 - As applications close for the first two years of Mustang GTD production, Ford is preparing to take the most advanced, audacious Mustang ever to Europe. Set to debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Mustang GTD will also take to the road of Europe for testing that will pave the way for an official timed run in the fourth quarter of 2024 at the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife.

"We've tested the Mustang GTD in North America extensively, including laps at Sebring International Raceway and Virginia International Raceway. This has all been in service of engineering a car that can lap the Nurburgring in under seven minutes," said Mustang GTD Chief Program Engineer Greg Goodall. "Moving onto European roads and dedicated test sessions at the Nurburgring is the next step, ahead of a timed run later this year."

Built to beat Europe's best, Mustang GTD will follow its European debut at Le Mans with appearances at the 24 Hours of Spa and the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Accompanying Mustang GTD's first appearance in Europe will be a new online storytelling series that delves into the components and engineering that make this the Mustang of supercars, using life-like computer-generated renderings to illustrate the cutting-edge suspension, supercharged V8 engine that targets over 800 horsepower, and more.
