Ford's Mustang topped the Nurburgring speed record; Competitor surpassed.
Fast Lane: Ford Mustang GTD Shatters Records at Nurburgring
Breaking barriers with a blistering time of 6 minutes 52.072 seconds, the Ford Mustang GTD has stormed onto the scene as the fourth quickest production sports car at the legendary Nurburgring track, surpassing last year's result by an impressive 5.5 seconds. This jaw-dropping feat was reported by our site, citing CarsCoops.
The Ford honchos proudly claimed this anemometer-breaking whip, but with a twist - only sports models were included in the countdown, disqualifying hypercars like the Mercedes-AMG One. To add to the drama, the 20.8 kilometer long track version was employed for the challenge.
So, what's the secret sauce behind this slick, high-octane ride? Under the hood, the Mustang GTD boasts a muscular 5.2-liter supercharged engine packing 826 ponies and a whopping 900 Nm of torque. For perspective, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) with a naturally aspirated 525 horsepower engine managed a 6:49.328 on the track, while the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey Racing with a turbocharged 700 horsepower engine clocked in at 6:43.300.
The Mustang's new record is a monumental achievement for Ford, marking its return to the track versions of the pony car after a lengthy hiatus. However, the price tag for this adrenaline-pumping steed weighs in at a cool $325,000, which is quite the hit for your wallet compared to the standard version.
