Mustang GTD Spotted in the Wild...

[TYancy]

I saw this on Facebook last night and thought it was pretty cool! It might be an old photo, but I haven't seen it before. Apparently this was in Virginia.

Is it just me...

Anybody know what the $$ is on that? How many are they building?

 

[PatrickStapler]

I think there was a member here that's a big time Ford racer or something that was slated for one. Maybe that was for the race version though.

These guys think $300K.

If I remember correctly that would be @treynor. He was at the unveiling and said he was allocated one.

Treynor is a google executive that has a car collection most would envy.

No doubt! If I was on a level or three higher on the income bracket, I would have to get one. I think it's pretty dope Ford gave the Mustang some special halo car-like treatment instead of a Ford GT. I think they should have started doing something similar to this a long time ago.

Is that a prototype in the picture? I don't think these are anywhere near production yet.

I don't know. It could be. If it was in Virginia, they may have been at VIR as well as doing some road testing.

Dang that is soooooo cool looking!

Off topic but he also just posted the fastest time at COTA in a GT car

I know we could play the guessing game all day but I would assume Sterling, Virginia. It’s where the people of wealth and government reside in the area. A lot of exotic car shows. Koons Sterling is also the biggest Mustang dealer on the east coast I believe. I think. Not sure

Treynor can drive from the videos I have seen. It is good to see someone with the means to own cars most of us dream about actually driving them instead of just looking at them.

Yes , Patrick, " May the Ford be with You!"

Cool looking car just wish the splitter wasn’t a mile off the ground. For a car like this it should be low, to hell with approach angles.

It has variable ride height like the Porsches, etc. - guessing it was up to clear the curb cut into the gas station.

Its fords gt3rs

Alright, forums are fun and all, but seriously people, just read the description next time somebody actually unveils a new car...

No, this is not a production model, as the Mustang GTD is a 2025 MY, so nobody will get their keys before the end of the year (unless Bill Ford probably ). This is what we call a pre-production prototype.
Yes, this is in Virginia, doing some testing.
Yes, it has active ride height (NOT like the Porsches, as the Porsches only have front axle lift, which the GTD also has), and here it is in road mode. Track mode is 40mm lower.
Yes, it's 300k$ and more.
Yes, it looks like Darth Vader, and I love that.
Yes, Treynor can drive, but NO, he hasn't got this one yet, and he's busy playing with his new GT MKIV, that should keep him occupied for a while
And we are building 2500 of them.

Again, all of this was announced when we revealed the car last year.
