The Ford Mustang is the ultimate muscle car, and it's been in continuous production since 1964. As time has passed, its designers and engineers have kept the Mustang ahead of any possible competitor. We'll look closer at some of the innovative features that make the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD the premier performance vehicle on the road.
4 Innovative Features of the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD
50/50 Weight Balance
Whether you're driving on the track, the highway, or a suburban road, good weight balance is essential. Poor balance increases wear and tear on the shocks, struts, axles, and tires. It also makes driving at high speeds dangerous, as cornering and other maneuvers could cause a skid and loss of control.
The Mustang GTD uses a lightweight but ultra-strong carbon fiber driveshaft that connects to the rear eight-speed transaxle. This arrangement provides an almost 50/50 weight balance between the vehicle's front and rear, enhancing control and handling when you need it the most.
Aero Rear Wing
When driving, particularly at speed, you can feel your vehicle rise from the ground automatically. This odd feeling is caused by ground effect, as the air pressure under the vehicle is less than the air pressure above it. As your vehicle rises, wind resistance on the body increases, creating drag that reduces your speed.
The Mustang GTD features a large carbon fiber aero wing attached to the rear C pillar. You can adjust it to increase or decrease downforce and improve handling and control. It's controlled hydraulically by your vehicle's Drag Reduction System (DRS). When you corner, the wing closes to push you closer to the ground, and when driving straight, it opens to allow faster acceleration.
Modifiable Racing Suspension
When driving on the road or highway, the Mustang's semi-active suspension provides a comfortable ride by absorbing and dissipating the bumps and jolts you might otherwise experience. It does this using a unique short-long arm front suspension with enhanced lateral stiffness.
If you want to take your Mustang on the track, you want every ounce of performance available, and this suspension will deliver. It can be adapted in seconds using the specialized Track Mode to drop your vehicle 1.5" closer to the ground. This might not sound like a big difference, but on the track, it translates into competition-level control and performance.
Driver Centric Cockpit
You need to easily and quickly see and access information on the track, and this also applies to your daily commute. The Mustang GTD places everything you need for driving control and entertainment right in front of you. The 12.4" LCD digital cluster and 13.2" center touchscreen use video game-inspired graphics, bright colors, and large icons to deliver an intensely user-friendly experience.
