Engineering Tweaks
• More Power: Hardware updates and aggressive tuning push Mustang GTD Competition’s supercharged 5.2-liter V8 to a targeted engine output beyond the original Mustang GTD’s 815 horsepower.
• Advanced Aerodynamics: Building on the existing Drag Reduction System (DRS), the Mustang GTD Competition adds rear wing modifications, secondary front dive planes, and rear carbon fiber aero discs to increase total downforce without sacrificing efficiency or aero balance.
• Increased Grip: New high-performance tires.
• Weight Reduction: New magnesium wheels, new carbon bucket seats, lighter damper system and additional actions help reduce weight.

Marketing Pitch
The GTD Competition will only be offered in the future as a special edition, street legal model available in strictly limited, serialized quantities. To celebrate this historic feat and the 62nd birthday of the Mustang, Ford is reopening the application window today for North American customers who want an opportunity to buy the most advanced and powerful street-legal Mustang ever assembled.
