2025 Ford Mustang GTD Spirit of America: An Exclusive Tribute to Racing Heritage

2025 Ford Mustang GTD

The Ultimate Homage to American Speed

Ford has elevated its already extraordinary Mustang GTD with a special Spirit of America edition, creating what may be the most collectible modern Mustang ever produced. This limited-run variant honors both the Mustang's 60-year legacy and the groundbreaking achievements of American land-speed record pioneer Craig Breedlove, whose "Spirit of America" jet-powered streamliners shattered barriers in the 1960s.

"The Mustang GTD embodies the same relentless pursuit of performance that drove visionaries like Breedlove to push beyond perceived limits," explains Jim Owens, Mustang GTD Brand Manager. "This special edition celebrates that all-American spirit of innovation that continues to define performance vehicles today."

Distinctive Design: A Moving Tribute

The Mustang GTD Spirit of America makes its visual statement through carefully curated design elements that connect Ford's modern halo car to its historic roots:

  • Dual racing stripes in Race Red and Lightning Blue

The Ultimate Collector's Challenge

Ford has made acquiring the Mustang GTD Spirit of America as exclusive as the vehicle itself:

  • Production limited to unknown (but extremely small) numbers
  • Prospective buyers must complete a rigorous application process
  • All purchase applications reportedly claimed within hours
  • Estimated price exceeds $300,000 (before markup)

This ultra-exclusive approach transforms the Spirit of America edition into what may become one of the most sought-after modern Fords among collectors.
