Ford boasted a new record of nyrburgering with a Mustang supercar

Last December, the company managed to win the title of the fastest US car, but the Blue Oval boss Jim Farley promised that the company would return to the highway. The top manager restrained the word: the spring test attempt at Mustang GTD was much faster: 6`52`072 instead of 6`57`685! The Ford press service said that the novelty “is the fourth in speed by a serial car.”

The Ford calculation methodology had questions: if the record status among American cars has no doubt (competitors have not gone to Nürburgring for a long time), then the fourth time in the overall standings is doubtfully. The press service of the Blue Oval clarified that the statement concerns the class of sports cars, which excludes hypercars like Mercedes-AMG One, and the calculation is carried out on the “long” version of the highway (20.8 kilometers), so the models of the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ remain outside.

Mustang – 60 years! Ten answers to inconspicuous questions about nourburgring collection

If you discard marketing tricks, then 652072 is an excellent result, however, the energy of the Ford Mustang GTD is solid: a 5.2-liter compressor coupe develops 826 horsepower and 900 nm torque! For comparison, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) with an atmospheric 4.0-liter 525-horsepower unit in the fall of 2022 showed the time 649328 on the same version of the highway, and the 700-horsepower Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey Racing turbocharger was completely laid in 6433300.

However, for Ford, the Mustang GTD refinement at Nürburgring has a practical meaning, because Pony-Kar has not been “track” versions for a long time. This compartment costs much more than the standard: from 325,000 dollars!
