In 1962, a small team embarked on a mission to transform a compact sedan into a high-performance sports car. Their creation, the Ford Mustang, made history by defeating Europe’s finest in its first race. Since then, the Mustang has continued to set new benchmarks, including becoming the first car from an American automaker to complete a lap of Germany’s legendary Nürburgring in under 7 minutes.
Now, Ford is celebrating this legacy and more with the introduction of the Mustang GTD Spirit of America.

Since its debut in 1965, the Mustang has been a symbol of American performance, known for its powerful V8 engine and the iconic galloping horse logo on a red, white, and blue badge. The Mustang GTD Spirit of America not only honors the Mustang’s performance history but also embodies the American spirit of innovation and determination.
The Spirit of America also pays homage to Craig Breedlove, an aerospace technician who, in the 1960s, broke the 500- and 600-mile-per-hour land speed barriers. His groundbreaking achievements in a sport dominated by European elites inspired generations of American engineers and designers, including those behind the Mustang GTD.
“Mustang GTD is the pinnacle of Mustang performance. The Spirit of America edition celebrates the audacity and daring behind that performance,” said Mustang GTD Brand Manager Jim Owens. “Without pioneers like Craig Breedlove, pushing the limits and challenging the giants of the day in a distinctly American way, the Mustang GTD wouldn’t exist.”

Ford Design has crafted the Mustang GTD Spirit of America with a striking Performance White body, adorned with twin racing stripes in Race Red and Lightning Blue. These stripes echo the red, white, and blue Mustang tribar introduced in 1964, while also referencing the racing overalls Breedlove wore during his land speed feats.
Prominent carbon fiber components, such as a front splitter, rear diffuser, and spoiler, play a crucial role in the vehicle's design. The rear spoiler is accentuated with Race Red end plates and proudly displays the “MUSTANG” branding, ensuring visibility for those trailing behind. Standard Race Red brake calipers enhance the sporty look, while customers have the option to select either Race Red or exposed carbon fiber mirror caps. Additionally, the Mustang GTD Performance Package is included with the car.
Inside, the Spirit of America edition offers a unique cockpit experience with leather-trimmed seats featuring Dinamica inserts. The seats are designed with a Black Onyx base, accented by a Race Red gradient stripe, Re-Entry White trimmings, and Victory Blue contrast stitching. The cabin also features 3D-printed titanium paddle shifters, shift rings, and an IP badge, offering a blend of cutting-edge design and performance.
The 2025 Mustang GTD, including the Spirit of America edition, is the most powerful Mustang ever produced by Ford, with an 815-horsepower engine, 664 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of 202 miles per hour, setting a new benchmark for street-legal performance.
