Ford has reopened European applications for the Mustang GTD, giving would-be buyers a narrow window to secure the most serious road-going Mustang the company has built.
The application period opened on September 14 and runs until October 16, with just 500 cars allocated for Europe.
With pricing expected to start above €300,000 before options, the GTD sits in rare air for a Mustang, both mechanically and commercially.
At a glance
- Ford has reopened European applications for the Mustang GTD, with the order window running from September 14 to October 16.
- The GTD uses a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 producing 815 hp and has been developed with heavy Nürburgring influence.
- European production is limited to 500 cars, with an estimated starting price above €300,000 before options.
A short European window for Ford’s wildest Mustang
The Mustang GTD is not positioned like a conventional performance coupe.
It’s the road-legal halo car sitting above Ford’s broader performance stable, with the kind of engineering focus usually reserved for track specials and low-volume supercars.
That makes the European application process more than a normal ordering exercise.
With only 500 cars earmarked for the region, the GTD will be a selective purchase even before buyers begin working through colour and option choices.
Spirit of America gives the GTD a patriotic visual edge
One of the notable additions for this application round is the Spirit of America livery.
It pairs Performance White paint with Race Red and Lightning Blue striping across the bonnet and side skirts, reworking the Mustang’s familiar tri-bar identity into a more assertive track-led graphic.
For buyers who want something less prescribed, Ford’s Extended Color Palette also allows additional personalisation for the chosen exterior colour.
That matters on a car likely to be seen as much as a collector-grade object as a circuit-capable machine.
Nürburgring credentials shape the GTD’s appeal
The Mustang GTD is powered by a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 producing 815 hp.
Its development has been closely tied to Nürburgring performance, which is central to how Ford is positioning the car in Europe.
The headline claim is a Nürburgring lap time 9 seconds quicker than the Corvette ZR1X, a comparison that underlines the GTD’s intended territory.
This is a Mustang designed to compete in a space where lap time, aero, engine character and rarity all carry equal weight.

For European buyers, the Mustang GTD is an unusually direct proposition.
It combines American V8 identity with serious circuit intent, limited availability and a price point that moves it well beyond the traditional Mustang audience.
The October 16 deadline gives interested clients little time to decide, but that brevity is part of the point for a car Ford clearly wants to keep scarce.
