It’s not just a fancy toy car; the Ford Mustang GTD uses GT3 technology to compete with cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which the regular Camaro or Challenger doesn’t. This is your good day because the GTD application process is now open. If you want one and have $300,000 to buy one, you can. For example, people who want to buy a Ford GTD must first apply to Ford for a quota. If the carmaker agrees with your request, you can then place your order with the store of your choice. Ford says that each Mustang GTD is brought to the buyer’s house by hand. As of right now, no one knows what the entry process is. To be able to apply for the Ford GT, people had to answer a lot of questions about how they used the previous model GT. Ford wanted to know if new GT owners would track their cars if they were in any clubs where they could show them off, and how often they would drive their cars based on what they did with their old GT. The GTD, on the other hand, is a unique Mustang that Ford has never sold before and doesn’t have a straight predecessor. Most likely, the application will still ask about GT ownership. The 2017 Mustang GTD has the speed and power of a supercar, even though it is smaller. Under the hood (and, strangely enough, behind the front axle) is a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that makes 800 horsepower, 140 more than the GT’s V6 engine. The pushrod rear suspension, forged magnesium wheels, carbon fiber body, and Multimedia spool-valve dampers on the Mustang GTD remind us of other homologation specials that tried to bring racetrack tech to the streets. At the moment, applications are being taken in both the US and Canada. But in June, you will be able to apply for jobs in the Middle East, Europe, and Mexico. To be clear, applying doesn’t mean you’ll be given, so wait to get your hopes up until Ford makes its final choice.
