The suspension of the Ford Mustang GTD is that of a race car
The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is being developed as the ultimate track-focused mustang, using knowledge honed in decades of racing by Ford and its engineers. 1 of the car's performance goals is the Nürburgring lap in less than 7 minutes.
However, the 800-plus-hp Mustang GTD has also been developed for use on the road, which includes sufficient flexibility to provide the rigidity required by racetracks and ease of road use.
Ford's solution is Multimatic's proven adaptive spool valve (ASV) damper, which delivers the softest and most reliable performance in just 15 milliseconds. They feature in all four corners of the Mustang GTD and form part of a push-rod actuated setup at the rear, taken straight from the race, Hypercar
lightweight windows made of polycarbonate, with a scratch-resistant coating and the rear seats are usually visible. It sits in a place where you can relax and offers a view of suspension jewelry. For passengers, that means getting to see the suspension in action.
The real star of the show is the ASV Damper. Each damper unit is equipped with two springs and for normal driving conditions both are used to maximize comfort. However, when the vehicle is in track mode, 1 of the springs are compressed, which makes Ford almost 2 times the overall spring rate, lowering the car by about 1.6 inches
This extra rigidity also has the advantage of improving grip via downforce. As the speed increases, the active aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle push the air down to the car. The extra rigidity of the suspension helps to counter the aerodynamic squats of certain areas of the vehicle and maximize tire contact patches at each corner.
The Mustang GTD will go into production later this year and will carry a price tag of about 3 325,000. Ford recently ended the application process for interested buyers in North America and said more than 7,500 individuals had applied for 2025 and 2026 assignments for the car.
Ford does not say how many Mustang Gtd will be built, and how long. However, the automaker has confirmed that production will be limited. Multimatic will be responsible for production that will take place at the company's Canadian facility, where the latest Ford GT supercar was also built.
