Ford is offering the first special edition Mustang GTD to mark the achievements of American ingenuity in what it's calling the Spirit of America.

The GTD models are part of Ford's plans to expand the Mustang nameplate into the higher echelons of the sports car and racing worlds.

This latest iteration—effectively a special appearance package—borrows its name from a land-speed racing legend.

The new Ford Mustang GTD Spirit of American Special Edition boasts 815 horsepower and will be showcased at the 2025 Detroit Auto Show

Detroit — Ford Motor Co. used its kickoff Thursday evening of the Detroit Auto Show to express its commitment to the event that for decades has made Detroit a destination, unveiling two special-edition Mustangs.

Ford will have this camouflaged Mustang RTR on the show floor at the 2025 Detroit Auto Show.

Automaker deeply rooted in Detroit is getting the party started with a little help from one of the Lions leaders.

Developed with racer Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s Mustang tuning firm RTR, the factory-tuned pony car is expected to offer more power and performance than the stock model.
