2025 MUSTANG GTD OFFICAL NURBURGRING 6:57 LAP TIME! FULL BREAKDOWN

This is it. Ford has just revealed the final lap time for the Mustang GTD. Today we're gonna be breaking it down here in the office at Speed Phenom Film. So first off we gotta address the elephant in the room. This lap time has been so long in the making. We've all been so excited to find out what this new Mustang can do. Will it be the first American car to break sub seven minutes? And yes right away it has. It's gotten a six minute and 57 second lap time. Here's the video straight from Ford. I just want to create this a breakdown because there's a lot to go over here in this video. Especially when it comes to analyzing the performance advantages Ford Mustang GTD has versus the disadvantages it has compared to the competition. Now the other elephant in the room is that Porsches are incredibly fast around this track with a relatively low amount of horsepower. This new GT3 RS still is going to be significantly faster around this track. Over 10 seconds faster. However this Mustang has beaten the standard Porsche GT3. So yes they have beaten one of the European cars and they are the first ever American car to go sub seven minutes besting the Viper ACR. So let's break everything down in this video. Real quickly if you live in Southern California we're doing a really cool drive starting here at Speed Phenomenal Film. Our PPF studio here on the beach of Carlsbad California. We're gonna be leaking up here and then going for a great mountain run and getting some apple pie out in the country. So if you are local in SoCal and are free this Saturday 12 14.4 please look in the description down below to join us for this fun drive. I just want to plug that in real quickly in this video for our fellow Mustang enthusiasts watching. Let us know if you can make it out or if we cannot protect your car with PPF. The Ford team had one mission. It was to go under seven minutes and they really put everything they had on the line. They created a mini documentary for crying out loud. It meant a lot to them. They even advertised this quite extensively for all of us owners who are or well buyers who are going to own the car. I know when I got my allocation Ford explicitly would say over and over again now we are targeting sub seven minutes. So it must feel great to be able to target a number like that a time like that and actually deliver. They did. They delivered. They were the first brand to do it from America on their first attempt. I think it's safe to assume based off their comments at the end that this was just their first attempt and they want to go out there again to go even faster. So I am curious what that means. Are they being really serious about that? Will we see an even faster lap time from the Mustang GTB at the Nurburgring later with this next year rolling over the horizon 2025? I'm very curious because it got a good time it beat the GT3 but it still costs double the price of a GT3. It costs more than the GT3 RS. Does it have enough time left in it to beat a Porsche GT3 RS? That's my question. Or does it have enough time in it left to beat the AMG GT Black Series? This car has more horsepower than both those cars. Both those cars got either a 643 or 644. Those are incredible lap times. This vehicle has all the elements it looks like to be incredibly fast at the Nurburgring. Was the weather the one limiting factor really holding it back? It looked like it was a damp track. It looked like they struggled to get a short window open to run the car. Luckily they did. This could align very well with all the reports that we're hearing about online from people saying how Ford went out there and put down an incredible time and they closed up early because the weather wasn't actually very accommodating. You have to realize these brands have put down incredible lap times. They can often go there repeatedly to find the one day, the one time slot where conditions are optimal and as they said in this video conditions were suboptimal though they still were able to pull this lap time. So that's my question all you guys today in this video. What do you think? Do you think this car has the ability to go significantly faster? I want to highlight again the advantages this vehicle has. I'm sure compared to a standard GT3 on every single one of those straightaways it was faster. Especially the main straightaway. Imagine having 800 horsepower versus 500 horsepower and those other competitor cars. You must be saving seconds. That begs the question where does it equalize? Closer to the GT3, the standard GT3 on that track. Before we wrap up this video we just got to go over one last time everything this Mustang and GT3 offers you. It's basically all carbon fiber except for the doors and the roof and the chassis itself. You have tons of carbon fiber body panels. You have a transaxle where the transmission is behind you giving you a 50-50 weight distribution. You have 815 horsepower over 660 pound feet of torque. DRS technology. Massive 345 tires. Cup 2R Michelins. The stickiest tire on the market. The same tire as all the competitors out there. Yep that's right. The tire this car was running on is the same tire the GT3 was running on. The AMG GT Black Series and the GT3 RS. So we can safely equalize all those cars based on tires. It's not like one tire was faster than the other ones. They're all the same tire. Big question is this. If conditions were not optimal how much faster can this car go if they were optimal? Are we talking about one second here? Are we talking about five seconds here? How much faster could it be? Plus how long are we going to have to wait until we see an optimal lap from the Mustang GTD on the Nürburgring? Will it be another whole year? I don't know. With this new Porsche GT2 RS over the horizon how much faster will that be than the standard GT3 RS? I have another curveball for you guys. Let's look at the the Corvette ZR1. If the rumors come true Chevrolet might put down a public lap time at the Nürburgring and what if Corvette comes out with the ZR1 and beats this 657? I think Ford has to act fast because there's a lot on the line here and if they're saying that they're going to be back you got to get there as soon as possible because the world is watching this stuff. The world is watching. I think everyone wants to achieve incredible numbers as long as they're continually devoted to get out there on the track and develop I do wonder if this vehicle does put down a faster lap time in the future. Will it be the same exact car hitting the streets? I know with the Ford GT earlier model years weren't as fast or didn't have all the performance upgrades as later model years. What if those people buying a later model year Mustang GTD will have an upgraded one more suited to put down a fast lap time at the Nürburgring? That could be a possibility. Maybe it's going to be very interesting to find out what they do to get this car faster and faster around the race track. This is Ford's first attempt. They said that again and that must mean they're planning a rich future of getting back out there to put down good times in front of the whole world to see. I do wonder though what would the Ford GT put down around the Nürburgring? Do you think it would put down a sub seven minute time? Do you think it would be near as fast as a Mustang GTD? I do wonder. I really do wonder that question. If you guys want to share your thoughts please let us know down below in the comments section. If you enjoyed this video please hit the like button.
