Ford Mustang GTD Breaks Its Own ‘Ring Record, Sets 6:52 Nurburgring Nordschleife Lap

Ford Mustang GTD Breaks Its Own ‘Ring Record, Sets 6:52 Nurburgring Nordschleife Lap

That's 5.5 seconds quicker than the car's 2024 effort.

Even thought it ran a record-setting run last year, Ford remained unsatisfied with the Mustang GTD’s performance at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Despite being the first American car to break the seven-minute barrier at the famed circuit, FoMoCo knew the supercharged pony car had more to give.

Well, the automaker has returned to the track — and here in 2025, it has just shaved more than five seconds off of its previous run. In fact, the Mustang GTD is the now fourth-fastest production car to ever lap the 'Ring, completing the 12.9-mile loop in just 6:52.072.
