Production of the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD, the automaker’s most extreme road-going pony car yet, is gathering speed after a slower-than-expected start earlier this year.

According to Ford’s third-quarter sales report, specialty manufacturer Multimatic completed 41 units of the carbon-fiber-bodied coupe in September, marking the highest monthly production total to date. The hand-built supercar, which carries a price tag exceeding $300,000, is capped at 1,700 examples worldwide.
The GTD, named after IMSA’s GT Daytona racing class, begins life at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly plant in Michigan, where partially built Mustangs reach the “body-in-white” stage. From there, they are shipped to Multimatic’s facility in Markham, Ontario, for a comprehensive transformation. The process involves installation of a dry-sump 5.2-liter supercharged V8, carbon fiber body panels, track-ready suspension, and extensive aerodynamics aimed at delivering race car levels of performance on public roads.
So far in 2025, output has steadily climbed. After just two cars were completed in January and none in February, March saw three more, followed by one in April. By May, 10 units rolled out, with production surging to 31 in June, 35 in July, and 36 in August. That brings the total through September to 159 cars.
While the pace is still modest compared to mass-market vehicles, Ford insiders have suggested the GTD’s build process is simpler than the earlier Ford GT supercar, potentially allowing output to increase further if demand remains high.
All 1,700 units are expected to sell quickly, given the car’s limited production and status as Ford’s most powerful Mustang ever built for the street. Future allocation details have not been disclosed, though Ford has hinted demand may influence whether additional units are authorized.
