Ford Mustang GTD – fastest America car around Nordschleife

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is the first car from an American brand to complete a lap in under seven minutes around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It’s the fifth fastest time by a stock production sports car and Mustang GTD is only the sixth vehicle in that class to break the seven-minute barrier.

Driven by Multimatic Motorsports driver Dirk Müller, the 815-horsepower Mustang GTD lapped the circuit nicknamed “The Green Hell” in an officially certified 6:57:685.

The time delivers on the goal laid out by CEO Jim Farley at the Mustang GTD’s debut in August 2023. “The team behind Mustang GTD took what we’ve learned from decades on the track and engineered a Mustang that can compete with the world’s best supercars,” said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO.

“We’re proud to be the first American automaker with a car that can lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, but we aren’t satisfied. We know the Mustang GTD can set a faster Nürburgring lap. We’ll be back.”

Mustang GTD’s Nürburgring success is due to the work of a small, dedicated team of engineers and designers who worked tirelessly over the course of two years to turn the Mustang GT3 race car into the first-ever Mustang supercar.
