2025 Ford Mustang GTD under 7 Minutes at the Nurburgring!

[@smarternu]

Good job Ford. By far Americas best auto maker.

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Definitely have a record of breaking new ground in the performance world, especially Europe’s performance world.

@@KarlBrauerCars not for multimatic it isn't.

[@KarlBrauerCars]

@@blackberrythorns Good point

[@MotorInStyle]

Wow! Thanks for sharing this news in a creative way Karl

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Absolutely. Thank you for watching!

[@RenovationsandRepair]

GT350R is my 2025 purchase over the gt500 for the reasons you stated!

[@KarlBrauerCars]

That’s the car. Seriously, just the dynamics alone make the $60,000-$70,000 GT350R “the” car. Now throw in the flat-plane-crank engine and it’s all over for anything else (including the $325,000 GTD, in my not-so-humble opinion).

[@TD-047]

Karl great job on the break down. I agree the 350 is truly a fun car. I can feel the weight in the 350 though compared to something like a 991.2 3 RS. That difference is about the same as the 350 to the 500 ironically. I think the GTD will be 3800. The SC alone is a pig and its high up making you really feel the extra LBS. Hell a 100lb ski box and rack feel like lot more because of the CG. I gotta disagree on the 10yr old chassis statement. The reason the GTD is because the chassis is different. The entire rear and the transaxle is huge. Also the front uses some bespoke bits and bobs. Yet it retains the basic K member. I do agree the center tub is the same S550 pan, but there are a ton of changes to pick-up points. I'm not sure if Multi is adding the extra pan braces as the GT3. That would be a nice bonus if the are. Thanks again for the break down.

[@TD-047]

OH BTW. did you see the warranty disclaimer @ 18 secs of the on board???

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Good feedback on the pickup points. Thanks for the watching!

[@blackberrythorns]

they send the s650 steel chassis, factory doors and engine block to multimatic in canada. the chassis gets modified but it's still a boat anchor which is the problem.

[@TD-047]

@@blackberrythorns probably 600 lbs heavier than the current RS.

[@blackberrythorns]

@@TD-047 about that likely, 38-3900 lbs.

[@MrVincemims]

Put an extra two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars into any car and it will break the seven second barrier..

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Funny you say that. I’ll admit to having dreams of investing $100,000 in my Demon 170, making it a GTD killer, and pocketing the extra $100,000...

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

Bullchhh. Not any car can do this. Money alone doesn't make a car like the Mustang GTD.

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

​@KarlBrauerCars why would any person dump 100k in a garbage A+× Dodge/Fiat

[@MrVincemims]

@@BruceDragon-sf1tr obviously money did take a mustang and make it do sub 7s.

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

@@MrVincemims Money alone didn't make that Mustang what it is. Now continue smoking your crack sir

[@cephasmakuzva]

Thats pretty incredible for that car. Its a master feat that's been accomplished. Well-done Ford for a street legal car.

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Agreed! As I like to say in situations like this "There's some engineering going on here..."

[@cephasmakuzva]

@KarlBrauerCars oh 100% absolutely. How they managed to do that to that muscle car is incredible. Something that wasn't exactly as aerodynamic as possible. Thats an unbelievable time to lap in. On par with an amg gt black series.

[@rdeh1678]

And they set that time on a damp track , very cold day with high winds is crazy

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Wouldn’t the cold help the engine make more power?

[@rdeh1678]

@KarlBrauerCars actually no , it may help for 1hp in the engine but the cold air effects the level of grip the tires have on the track itself makings traction very poor , not to mention the track was damp in most parts and wet in other parts , Also it was windy that day as well . L

[@rdeh1678]

The ford gtd set that time on a wet track in the wind on a cold day , another thing is only 10 % of the gtd is mustang the rest is 90% totally different,

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Far more than 10% of this car is standard Mustang. The engine alone (straight from the GT500) makes it more than 10%.

[@blackberrythorns]

@@KarlBrauerCars the engine block is straight from the gt500 but the motor is heavily modified including a dry sump.

[@mikeobrien3744]

Camero is dead...again. Long live the Mustang.

[@KarlBrauerCars]

Camaro might come back...again. But (sadly) likely as a hybrid or electric vehicle.

[@edlin1758]

Huh....CAMERO or CAMARO?

[@bedevil1]

The car is so ugly the track just got out of its way to finish the lap as fast as possible.

[@KarlBrauerCars]

LOL

[@BruceDragon-sf1tr]

Put your mama beside that car and every man on this planet will pick that car over your mom
