The Mustang GTD: A New Era in American Performance Cars
Manufactured at Multimatic’s facility in Markham, Ontario, instead of Ford’s usual Flat Rock, Michigan production plant, the Mustang GTD is a unique breed. Featuring a front-mounted 5.2-liter supercharged Predator V8, it drives power to the rear wheels via a rear-mounted transaxle, connected through a carbon-fiber driveshaft. This setup ensures optimal weight distribution, contributing to superior handling and acceleration.
Notably, Ford incorporates 3D-printed titanium components, some of which are derived from F-22 fighter aircraft materials, providing cutting-edge performance enhancements while maintaining exclusivity.
