Production of the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, the automaker’s most extreme road-going Mustang variant, is accelerating after a slower start earlier this year.
The Slammedenuff Meltdown and the Death of Car Culture as We Knew It
A Record Month for the GTD
According to Ford’s third-quarter sales report, specialty manufacturer Multimatic completed 41 units of the carbon-fiber-bodied coupe in September, the highest monthly total recorded so far. The hand-built model carries a price tag exceeding $300,000 and is limited to 1,700 units worldwide.
A Complex, Multi-Stage Build Process
Named after IMSA’s GT Daytona racing class, the GTD begins at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly plant in Michigan, where partially built Mustangs reach the body-in-white stage. From there, they’re shipped to Multimatic’s facility in Markham, Ontario, for a comprehensive transformation that includes installation of a dry-sump 5.2-liter supercharged V8, carbon fiber body panels, track-ready suspension, and extensive aerodynamic components designed to bring race car-level performance to a street-legal vehicle.
Production Ramp-Up Throughout 2025
Output has climbed steadily over the course of the year. Just two units were completed in January, with none in February. March saw three additional units, followed by one in April. Production then rose to 10 units in May, before surging to 31 in June, 35 in July, and 36 in August. That brings total production through September to 159 vehicles.
Room for Further Growth
While the pace remains modest compared to mass-market vehicles, sources familiar with the build process have suggested the GTD is comparatively simpler to manufacture than the earlier Ford GT supercar, potentially allowing for further increases in output if demand remains strong.
Expected High Demand
All 1,700 planned units are expected to sell quickly given the car’s limited production run and status as the most powerful street-legal Mustang Ford has built. Details about future allocation have not been disclosed, though Ford has suggested that demand could influence whether additional units are eventually authorized.
