- Ford has reopened the application process for the Mustang GTD, a limited-edition performance vehicle, for customers in the European market.

Ford has reopened the application process for the Mustang GTD, a limited-edition performance vehicle, for customers in the European market. Prospective buyers have until October 16, 2026, to submit their applications, with total production allocated for Europe capped at 500 units.
Application Requirements and Selection Process
The Mustang GTD is not a standard production vehicle available through conventional dealership orders. Instead, Ford utilizes a curated application process to select its buyers. Candidates are evaluated based on their history with the Mustang brand and their involvement in motorsports. Because of this selective approach, submitting an application does not guarantee an opportunity to purchase the vehicle.
Pricing Variations Across European Markets
The cost of the Mustang GTD varies significantly across Europe, driven primarily by local tax structures and regional logistics. In Germany, the starting price is 359,900 euros. The price increases to 366,000 euros in Belgium, while Austrian buyers face a higher entry point of approximately 525,500 euros.
Technical Specifications and Performance
The vehicle is engineered with specifications that lean closer to a race car than a traditional street-legal Mustang. It is powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine equipped with a supercharger, delivering 815 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. Power is managed through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car features specialized suspension and aerodynamic configurations, allowing for a top speed of approximately 325 km/h.
Regulatory Status and Road Homologation
Despite the ongoing sales process, the legal status of the Mustang GTD for use on public roads remains unconfirmed for European customers. Ford reports that the European type-approval process is currently incomplete. The manufacturer has cautioned that if the necessary homologation is not achieved, the vehicle may be restricted to track-only use in certain markets.
