FORD are preparing to release their "most powerful production car ever" with a sport car that can produce a shocking 804bhp.
The 5.2-litre supercharged motor is even preparing to take on the the current-gen Porsche 911 GT3 RS with a timed lap around an iconic circuit.
The upcoming Ford Mustang GTD will pack a monstrous V8 engine that will power 664lb ft of torque to its rear wheels.
That means it isn't just the fastest production Mustang ever made, but also Ford’s most powerful car ever.
True, it doesn't quite match up to the top speed of the legendary Ford GT, but in terms of raw power there's nothing else like it from the Blue Oval.
It's not just about the engine, either, with the Mustang GTD boasting race-car like kit including cutting-edge active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes and inboard-rear suspension with semi-active dampers.
Greg Goodall, Mustang GTD Chief Program Engineer, said: "We’ve been laser focused since day one to make Mustang GTD the first-ever supercar with world-class performance and the soul of a Mustang."
Ford have produced the Mustang GTD with one goal in mind; to take on the infamous Nurburgring track in a lap time time of under seven minutes.
The Nurburgring Nordschleife, often called "The Green Hell," is a renowned circuit in Germany. Opened in 1927, it features a challenging 20.8 km (12.9 mi) layout with 154 turns, winding through the Eifel mountains.
Initially built as a test and racing track, it has hosted numerous iconic races, including the German Grand Prix. Today, it remains a legendary venue for motorsport events, manufacturer testing, and public driving sessions.
Over the years, there have been many accidents and deaths at the track - even during public sessions. Jeremy Clarkson noted in Top Gear in 2004 that "over the years this track has claimed over 200 lives".
Perhaps most famously, F1 champion Niki Lauda was left severely burned and near death after a crash at the circuit in 1976. His survival and remarkable comeback from the accident is considered one of the great tales of motorsport history.
The 911 GT3 RS famously drove the so-called 'Green Hell' in a time of 6m 49.3s, but Ford are confident their car will break seven-minute mark and potentially get close to the RS.
According to Top Gear, some 7,500 US residents have already put their name down to buy a new Mustang GTD, despite Ford only planning to build 1,000 examples.
Ford are set to list an asking price of $325k for the supercar, which is roughly £245k.
This comes as a legendary fast Ford is set to be reborn with an ultra-lightweight bodywork - some 40-odd years since it last graced UK showrooms.
And this is the moment an urban explorer finds an ultra-rare Ford Escort in car graveyard full of abandoned motors.
