Ford Mustang GTD Smashes Top Gear Track With 1:13.7 Lap

Here’s a taste of what Top Gear found on the track. The Mustang GTD surprises you right from the start. We never thought we’d expect a big front-engine American muscle car to feel so planted walking on the track. Flip it into Track mode, and everything changes - the car hugs the road, the suspension firms up, and the aero features kick in, making it feel sharper and more alive than you’d expect.

It corners like it knows the track. The tight spots that usually trip up big cars? The GTD just powers through. Brakes hot, tires gripping, and forces pulling every way - you can’t help but grin watching it tackle every twist and bump. Check out the video; you’ve got to see it in action!

Man, that lap time is straight-up wild—1:13.7. That’s faster than the Porsche they were chasing. On a track that’s all bumps, tight turns, and short straights, the Mustang is acting like it belongs in the same league as cars that cost double, maybe triple.

Well, we should admit Ford actually built something that challenges serious track cars. It’s ridiculous, it’s over the top, and we love it!
