FORD TAKES NEW MUSTANG GTD TO LAGUNA SECA RACEWAY! (FIRST LOOK)

Join us for behind the scenes coverage as the Mustang GTD Supercar lands at Laguna Seca Raceway for Monterey Car Week!
Stay tuned as we find out more.

[@bv6241]

I think the GTD is amazing, but completely unobtainable for the vast majority of Mustang fans. Its kinda bitter sweet.

[@2URLex]

Remember the LFA. Now it’s worth over quadruple its original cost. Hopefully ford makes money on these cars. I don’t think there’s any wrecked LFA out there but we know what mustang week is like leaving car shows.

The rear sub-frame costs as much as a loaded EcoBoost Mustang...yet so many comments are "$300,000.00 Mustang is stupid". Can't wait to see lap times.

[@Loulovesspeed]

I wouldn't worry as I'll bet those viewers wouldn't even know what a sub-frame is!! LOL

It's still a lot of money for a mustang. But the good news is that this is barely a mustang.

As a gt500 owner, this new GTD looks incredible. It's basically everything they learned from the gt350 and gt500 and Ford gt implmented into one Mustang.

You are exactly the type of owner I would think Ford would want to have this amazing vehicle. You track your cars,AND post it all on your channel for a large audience of enthusiasts. Even though very few can afford one or get an allocation it will help sell other Mustangs.

[@alexpocs8649]

Sponsorship is needed, if they put magnesium wheels on then why did they need the cup 2rs tires. If available them tires cost twice as much as the ones on the corvette.

The GTD looks light years better than any other mustang ever and the parts under the body actually look better than the body. That suspension is pure art.

[@ocmotivator]

Great video! Dude you’re crushing it! 👍👍

All the cooling systems impress me just as much as the beautiful body does. Is this the ultimate mustang??

[@carguy7627]

Since I know that you’ll track it and share those track days with us I think it’d be an awesome car for you to get if it makes sense for you financially. I’m uninterested in the GTD as a street car due to the cost, but as a track car Ford plans to race I think it’s a great idea.

[@FiteTheGoodFight]

I hope they sell you one of these.

[@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744]

I remember in the early 2000's I was saying that Ford needed to take the Mustang to the next level never in my wildest dreams I would be looking at this🎉🎉🎉 can't wait to see what it can do on the track

[@richardmodglin3900]

Roger that. Ford came to play!

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@richardmodglin3900 - More like 'James that', as Jim Foley, Ford CEO, has been behind this car 100%. He is a decent amateur racer himself and said he has envisioned this Mustang for 5 decades. He was quoted as saying he wanted to make a Mustang GT3 car that would make Porsche, Mercedes and Aston Martin sweat! He then challenged any CEO and their best production car to take a go at it with him in the GTD when it is done! This guy is a real car company CEO with competition in his veins! 🏆🏁

[@speedyeddieracer]

1. Are you planning to try to get one? 2. The engineering, especially the rear sub and transaxle, make this better than so many exotics. I think this car will bring crazy money if they keep the production numbers down. 3. Good job, dude.

[@TravNasty520]

Out of anyone on KZbin I hope you get this car! Your track contend is so good!

[@francisandrian]

Dct box looks like a tr-9080 c8 unit, idk if the ratios are the same or just change the transfer gear to tighten the ratios like z06 did... Well if its true, good choice by them

[@jeffchesser6237]

You sold the track pack and cited tire cost. What would be different if you acquired a GTD?

[@randallmason9687]

The Ford intro video looked like testing at Road Atlanta. I would like to know what the lap times were!

[@Loulovesspeed]

You and a few million others, but we won't know until the car is produced next year.

[@mrmeadowsiscool]

Seeing this now, this is beyond other car companies. all the billet, that cantilever rear suspension, the transaxle setup, this is worth the money IMO and I dont see why people would complain. Mustangs were always a relatively affordable car, but nothing said every one of them was. Hopefully it goes near 7m on the ring or even slightly under

[@marcosspenner8418]

[@marcog6470]

I wonder if you can put these parts on a gt500 cftp?

[@Loulovesspeed]

Why would you want to, as those parts cost plus the additional reconstruction of the GT500, would put in an unreachable price range for most!

[@marcog6470]

@@Loulovesspeed s550 is lighter to begin with, than the s650, plus the s650 is basically a Shelby chassis so adding carbon ceramic brakes, titanium exhaust, down force with a drs system, and carbon reduction, and dry sump would make an already track capable track car a epic track car for half the price of a GTD. It already had the 5.2 predator engine. I think it’s a amazing idea.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@marcog6470- The GTDs weight hasn't been announced but I'll guarantee you it will be much lighter than the Shelby GT500 -(4,200 lbs.) by a couple thousand ! You need to read about the chassis and suspension as it is significantly different and much higher tech than the Shelby. You really owe it to yourself to research more on the GTD as many more changes have been made to it than you realize.

[@wkjeeping9053]

Driveshaft and trans axle shafts are carbontanium, Developed by koenigsig. It's carbon fiber with titanium fused together

[@Loulovesspeed]

I don't think the GTD is using that combination of materials. Ford and Multimatic never use the term carbotanium in describing their driveshaft - strictly carbon fiber. I'll need to do some more checking. Also, they don't specifically mention the trans axles as being carbon fiber.

People saying it’s not obtainable by mustang enthusiast. Ford did it on purpose. You get selected first. And the selected ones have already been contacted before they announced it. Due to the limited production (which is also on purpose) you need to have a certain history with Ford for you to be able to get one. You don’t chose, they chose you. If I had the money I’d be pissed too but at the same time there’s certain prestige in the concept. So you limit the jackass like myself to get a hand on one of those I guess🤷🏻‍♂️
