Ford Mustang GTD Smashes Nürburgring Lap Record With 6:40 Time

The Ford Mustang GTD Competition has set a new Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record for American production cars with a time of 6 minutes and 40.835 seconds, reclaiming the title from Chevrolet’s Corvette ZR1X.

This achievement marks the Mustang GTD Competition as the fastest street-legal American car to lap the Nürburgring, improving upon its own previous best by more than 11 seconds and exceeding the Corvette ZR1X’s time by over eight seconds.

The lap time of 6:40.835 was recorded on April 17, 2026, confirming Ford’s return to the top of American performance benchmarks at the Nürburgring after Chevrolet’s ZR1 and ZR1X models had temporarily held the record in 2025.
