Picture this: a car that embodies 60 years of Mustang legacy, from its very first triumph at the 1964 Tour de France to shattering records at Germany’s Nürburgring. Now, meet the Mustang GTD Spirit of America—Ford’s latest tribute to American innovation, perseverance, and raw power.
Born from a dream in 1962 to transform a humble compact sedan into a global performance icon, Mustang has come to symbolize everything bold and unapologetically American. And this new GTD model? It’s the crown jewel of that journey—a car so extraordinary that it not only rewrites performance standards but also honors the daring spirit that made it all possible.
A Nod to Racing Heritage
This Mustang isn’t just a car; it’s a rolling celebration of history. Twin racing stripes in Race Red and Lightning Blue streak across its Performance White body, evoking the iconic red, white, and blue Mustang Tribar logo from 1964. Every inch of the design oozes nostalgia, from the stripes that mirror Craig Breedlove’s 1960s record-breaking overalls to the bold “MUSTANG” wordmark stamped under the rear wing—a cheeky reminder to anyone trying to keep up.
More Than Just Looks
The Mustang GTD Spirit of America doesn’t just wear its legacy; it drives like a dream. With exposed carbon fiber defining its aerodynamic features—from the front splitter to the rear spoiler—it’s engineered for both speed and style. And speaking of spoilers, it’s worth noting the Race Red end plates and the carbon-fiber mirror caps, which scream exclusivity.
Inside, the celebration continues with a unique seat package that’s as luxurious as it is performance-driven. Leather-trimmed seats with Dinamica inserts are paired with a striking Race Red gradient stripe down the center. Subtle accents in Victory Blue and 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters give the cabin a futuristic yet distinctly American vibe.
Unmatched Performance
But let’s talk power. At 815 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, this beast roars past the competition with a blistering top speed of 202 mph. It’s officially the fastest, most powerful street-legal Mustang Ford has ever built. And yes, it’s a direct descendant of the car that became the first from an American automaker to lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes.
Inspired by Trailblazers
The Spirit of America pays homage to pioneers like Craig Breedlove—a man who took a $500 jet engine from a Korean War fighter plane and shattered the 500- and 600-mph land-speed barriers. Breedlove didn’t just set records; he inspired generations of innovators, including the minds behind this Mustang masterpiece.
“Mustang GTD is the pinnacle of Mustang performance,” says Jim Owens, Mustang GTD Brand Manager. “The Spirit of America edition celebrates the daring and ingenuity that has defined Mustang since day one.”
A Piece of History
The 2025 Mustang GTD Spirit of America isn’t just a car; it’s a statement. It’s a tribute to six decades of grit, determination, and triumph. Whether it’s tearing up the track or turning heads on the street, this Mustang is a bold reminder of what happens when American ingenuity meets relentless ambition.
Get ready to experience the legend reborn. The Spirit of America is here, and it’s taking no prisoners.
