Ford Mustang GTD Carbon Series: Unveiling the $300K Supercar with a Race-Ready Interior

Ford Mustang GTD Carbon Series: Unveiling the $300K Supercar with a Race-Ready Interior

This weekend, the automotive world will witness the European debut of the Ford Mustang GTD at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. As Ford gears up to open order applications in the European market, the Blue Oval has tantalizingly unveiled the cabin of this supercar along with its standard exterior colors and an exclusive Carbon Series option. Come along as we dive into every awe-inspiring detail of this machine.

From Road to Race: The Carbon Series Revealed

The Ford Mustang GTD is a wonder of engineering and design, highlighted by a Carbon Series that propels its racecar aesthetic to new heights. The Carbon Series comes with an exposed carbon fiber hood, roof, and rear deck, making the GTD look every bit the racing champion it aims to be. Ford will offer six vibrant colors for the GTD, including the GTD-exclusive Chroma Flame, adding a touch of exclusivity to an already rare vehicle.

• Chroma Flame

• Polymimetic Gray

• Race Red

• Shadow Black

• Frozen White

• Lightning Blue

Additionally, the Carbon Series models allow for an enticing racing stripe option, either in the body color or a contrasting hue, ensuring each GTD can be customized to the owner's taste.

Performance and Power

The Mustang GTD is poised to be a beast on the track with its 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine targeting over 800 horsepower. Ford’s ambition doesn’t stop there; the GTD is eyeing a sub-7-minute lap time around the Nürburgring’s Northern Loop. This potency is married to an advanced suspension system and an 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle automatic, making the GTD not just a supercar but a full-fledged track machine.

The Carbon Series equips the GTD with special Magnetite-finished wheels — aluminum or magnesium. The 20-inch magnesium wheels are exclusive to the Performance pack, which also includes dive planes and a larger splitter to the front end, underbody flaps, and an opening rear wing with Drag Reduction System (DRS), enhancing its aerodynamic efficiency.

A Glimpse Inside: Luxury Meets Technology

In keeping with its supercar status, the GTD’s interior is a symphony of luxury materials and cutting-edge technology. Luxury touches include Dinamica suede, leather, and carbon fiber elements, lending an exquisite texture to the cabin. The flat-bottomed steering wheel is adorned with GTD-specific buttons allowing the driver to adjust suspension stiffness and exhaust volume seamlessly. The star of the show, however, are the 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters and the titanium rotary gear selector, epitomizing craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Two new buttons ahead of the gear selector offer quick access to the Track Apps function and the nose-lift system, ensuring you can navigate those tricky speed bumps without hassle. The GTD’s unique interface graphics, with a Performance cluster design focused on crucial track information such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, speed, and gear selection, make it a driver’s dream.

The Final Countdown

As anticipation builds for the Mustang GTD's performance at Le Mans and on the Nürburgring, one thing is certain: the GTD is poised to make history. From its raw power to its luxurious yet functional interior, it embodies the spirit of American muscle blended with European finesse, unleashing a new chapter in the saga of high-performance vehicles.

So, whether you’re a gearhead looking to add the ultimate Mustang to your collection or an enthusiast eager to see this beast in action, the Ford Mustang GTD Carbon Series promises to be nothing short of legendary.
