What's the story

Ford has unveiled a performance package for its upcoming Mustang GTD, a street-legal version of GT3 racing car. The package, simply named the Performance pack, is designed to enhance the car's weight and aerodynamics. It includes dive planes and a large splitter on the front fascia, a drag reduction system on the rear wing, underbody flaps, and a lightweight package that removes sound deadening. The Performance pack also features 20-inch magnesium wheels in a new paint color called Chroma Flame.

Ford's performance package aims for Nurburgring record

Ford has not disclosed the cost of the Performance pack, but has stated that it will be instrumental in the GTD achieving a sub-seven-minute lap at the Nurburgring. Greg Goodall, Chief Engineer of the Mustang GTD, emphasized the need for comprehensive performance in a statement. He said, "Many sports cars excel at one thing. But for a car to set a quick lap at the Nurburgring, it needs to be great at everything."

In addition to the Performance pack, Ford will also offer a Lightweight pack for the GTD.

The Carbon Series will also include a Magnetite finish on the rims, whether aluminum or magnesium. Buyers can choose from six standard exterior shades.
