Ford is hoping to promote the Mustang GT3 in a strong push to show bravery as the car comes to it’s own as the prominent form of being an absolute power model in the eyes of muscle cars of the future.
The Mustang GTD continues to form into it’s own, thanks to the groundwork having already been laid by the Mustang GT3. Because of that foundation therefore, the unreleased car has had to keep it private entirely behind closed doors, for the hopes that all in attendance would sign non-disclosure agreements that would definitely explain why the Mustang Dark Horse chassis would keep getting brought to Multimatic, the company behind manufacturing both the GTD and GT3.
From any track can come the most incredible car. And Ford, long being in the tradition of surprising the competition. Of course, the whole point of the vehicle itself is to absolutely showcase exactly what comes in the future of Ford.
The GTR has it’s race car style taken out from the Dark Horse road car, all while the GT3 is reverse-engineered to fit on the GTD. Minimal changes such as that in the front fenders, all while the twin air vents within the hood and the gooseneck wing mounts landing on the rear of the cars, shows monumental likenesses between the two models. As the performance rules still show off-kilter reactions to the engineering performance for the GT3,
Multimatic is beyond certain that aspects like a drag reduction system or a DRS will allow the rear wing to let the GTD become a well-rounded performance model in similar manners to the race car, while still maintaining a world of difference. Findings that were conducted by the Ford team detailed how the wind tunnel testing for the GT3 gets directly applied to the GTD as it takes after the varied differences. All as the GTD is able to produce nearly as much as 1500 to 2000 pounds beyond 150 miles per hour.
The purpose of keeping it at the center of pressure, different from jumping around the car, is how the GTD is well capable to reduce the front downforce as the DRS flap stays open. As the hood gets removed, and one can clearly see the “Ford Performance” emblem written again upon the top of the engine, which peeks out subtly from the carbon-fiber nest, the race car establishes roots that may be impossible to imagine. But of course, the leaving Mustang Shelby Gt500’s very own supercharged 5.2-liter V8 gets a tune up that hits about 800 horsepower and even a dry-sump oil system. All while the doughnut-shaped reservoir takes up the area right behind the engine block that shows a traditional 10-speed automatic transmission.
All the while, the car will come with a front-mounted V-7 engine, as it utilizes a rear transaxle in the convenient space of a traditional truck with a transmission cooler being fed from two scoops found upon the leading edge of the trunk lid. Fascinatingly enough the transmission cooler air gets fed through vents right between the taillights.
