NEW MUSTANG GTD DELIVERED HERE! FIRST CARS AND COFFEE + IN-CAR POV!

Hey guys, how's it going? Welcome back to the channel. What a great day. Today, well, it's a big day because Ford is bringing out the new Mustang GTD to San Clemente Cars and Coffee. This is one of the biggest weekly cars and coffee events in Southern California and I can't believe they're doing it. I think they're doing it because Jay Leno is doing a review on the GTD soon. Let's check it out and see if they pulled it in yet. This is bringing back great memories because about four years ago, maybe closer to five, I was able to ride in the CA Corvette Stingray into this Cars and Coffee for the world's first ride along. And that happened, I think a day before Jay Leno actually reviewed it. So it's like the same format that happened with the Corvette, but Ford is bringing out the Mustang. Okay. I don't see it yet, but maybe very shortly they'll pull it through. We're going to see. Nevermind. There it is right there. Real quickly, before we continue this video, if you guys have a new Ford Mustang, a Shelby or are you getting a new Super Snake, the latest branch of the Speed Phenom channel has been created. Speed Phenom Film is your go-to paint protection, film tinting, and ceramic coating studio here in Southern California. This whole PPF studio was started to serve all of our followers here on the channel and get them ready to drive their car on the street or on the racetrack. So reach out. You will find our information in the description down below. If you need your car protected before you hit the streets, please send us an email or give us a call. You won't find better prices around because this company was started to serve all of you, our supporters for the Speed Phenom YouTube channel. All right guys, this is it. Sec. What's that? Cars and Coffee. We're joined by Mike from the Ford team and it's very exciting because the GPD is right here on our left, but Mike works in communications, right? Yep. Correct. Yep. I'd love to ask you a few quick questions about the GPD that you have right here today. Would that sound good? Yeah, let's chat about it. So right away, this would be the carbon series, is that correct? Yep. So this is the carbon series with the performance package. So what you're seeing here is on the outside, you get the exposed carbon on the hood. You get the carbon on the roof as well. With the performance package, you know, we're adding the performance bits. So you get the active arrow or the drag reduction system with the wing and the drag reduction system underneath the front spoiler as well. But the exposed carbon bits, titanium lug nuts, lightweight floor mats. So a lot of lightweight bits all about getting around the track faster. Do you mind if I ask you with the performance package, so what essentially are you getting with that versus like a base Mustang GPD? With my car, I get the choice between base and upgrading from there. Yeah, that's why I was talking about the drag reduction system. So really what you're focused on is reducing weight and the drag reduction system. And would that come with like the magnesium wheels? Yep. So the magnesium wheels would be available for that. How about this color right here? Because I know with the standard color palette, you have like reds, you have, I think it was the Velocity or Lightning Blue, right? Would this be extended or standard? Yeah. So what you're seeing here is Holographic Blue. It's one of our extended palette colors. So if you bring us a sample of a color that you'd like your GTD to be painted, we'll do our best to match that. And if you pay up to $50,000, we will lock out that color so that you can have a one-of-one Mustang GTD. Well, that sounds so cool you guys are doing that. Because I remember back to the Ford GT, you could lock out certain colors and get custom specs. But I like how far you guys are going with this thing. And I'm super pumped myself to get mine. I can't wait to get to the track. But I really appreciate doing this quick chat. Yeah, absolutely. And be sure to check out the rear suspension that we're displaying in the jewel case behind the driver's seat. You get to see those pushrod active dampers, and they are like beautiful artwork. So I was looking forward to seeing you at the LA Auto Show. Yep. Thank you. Real quickly, just hopping inside the Mustang GTD to see what it looks like behind the wheel. I love all the finishes with the suede. But here we go inside, and wow, that's cool. You can see the new finish. I think these are magnesium paddle shifters. But looking around, it's got the 12 o'clock racing mark and all the next-gen technology with the displays and screens that you want out of this next-gen Mustang. So tech should be here. And that's cool. I just noticed that. So the whole entire side of the dashboard is finished in carbon fiber. It's like a matte finish. I love that. I'm curious if that will be standard in all the Mustang GTDs. More carbon fiber right here, then a little park and brake button. And then way back there, you can see that's the pushrod hydraulic suspension that is going to be a world's first for a Mustang, fully inboard. So it looks crazy, actually, my first time seeing it inside the car. You can totally... I bet that could be useful for servicing the suspension, too, having that screen there. And then way out back, you have a full view of the DRS system with the massive active rear wing. Oh, the seats actually do say GTD on the headrest. All together, guys, it looks pretty cool behind the wheel. And actually, the hood is not as high as I thought it would be. It's actually blended pretty well, so it's not like a massive jump similar to the GT500 I used to own. Anyways, let me hop on back out because a lot of people are going to be swarming over to check out the Mustang GTD here. But it's great to finally get behind the wheel. All together, this is the carbon series again, giving you the fully exposed carbon fiber finish. So here's how it works. They create the full exposed carbon hood, and they make sure that the weaves are perfectly lined up. And then they're painting over on top, creating that two-tone with a stripe in the middle and then the blue on the outside. They have the same hood pin latches, similar to the GT500. You can finally see through the hood to the block, right, with a 5.2 liter supercharged V8 is making 815 horsepower, I believe. But yeah, those louvers are definitely god tier. Most incredible louvers that I've really ever seen, and they're on a Ford Mustang, for crying out loud. Look at that. That's so crazy to see. Moving to the side, with the magnesium wheels, they've got a cool finish. And actually, looking at them, they don't really have logos on the wheels except for the center cap right there. Massive carbon ceramics, so a first for a Ford Mustang. Carbon stripe brakes with massive GTD Brembo calipers. Also, with the carbon series, you're actually getting this side splitter wicker in, well, carbon, or this dive plane. It's actually in like a molded plastic, maybe, but the splitter underneath is in full exposed carbon fiber. So I believe this is all part of the performance package, again, with the dive plane up front. But the entire design reminds me very much of that GT3 race car that even I got to see when it debuted out at Daytona Raceway. Moving out back, you have more brake cooling, and then a massive side skirt with massive opening vents, similar to the Ford GT Outback. So this is definitely going to be kicking up rocks. So we're at a Speed Phenom Film, I knew, a PPF company in Carlsbad. We're definitely going to get the car unwrapped and PPF all of this, so that we don't get rock chips on our GTD when it gets delivered. In a few other points, I do want to mention, so the Mustang, the Pony logo is going to be exposed carbon fiber standard. Then coming all the way back, we have more with the GTD badge right through the middle with those exit vents. That looks so crazy. Over and above that trunk, those are intake vents, or intakes, for the transaxle system. So these side intakes here, alongside with those trunk intakes, will help with the transaxle cooling to keep that transmission, that dual clutch, ready to go for the racetrack for each and every single lap. I'm very excited to see how this thing fares for a very hot track day, because where I go to track a lot, in Southern California, it gets very hot. Big Willow, Willow Springs, it's a very hot track at times. Chuckwalla Raceway can be very hot. I think it's got everything going for it with all these exit vents and all the DRS, super wide tires. I'm excited to see how it comes together. I thought even the GT500 track pack was a very balanced car on the track, and my favorite of all the Mustangs was the GT350R, because of how balanced that was. And that was really their first go at the independent air suspension track Mustangs for the new generation. Now, when we look at everything coming out, it's just been leveled up so far, right? It's otherworldly, considering how good the team has gotten with blending motorsport performance with a Mustang platform, Mustang chassis. I would like to put a roll cage in mine, so that when I go on the track, I can have the full harness system, because you're going to need it with this much power and the amount of cornering grip you're going to be getting with those tires and the DRS system for the downforce. I can't wait to find out what time this sub-7 minute Nurburgring Mustang actually gets in Germany.
