Set for the official European premiere in front of the live audience gathered in France for the classic 24 Hours of Le Mans (the 92nd edition is slated for June 15 and 16), the $325k Ford Mustang GTD is again making the news headlines.
We have seen it for some time already. However, the Blue Oval company is still pretty far away from actually starting the first deliveries – either at home in North America or in Europe, where early adopters can only apply for a reservation, not purchase the extreme muscle car. However, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD elicits strong feelings from just about every POV.
Some will adulate the Blue Oval company for audaciously turning the Le Mans-bound Ford Mustang GT3 into a street muscle car x supercar that feels a lot more elaborate than a defunct 650-hp Chevy Camaro ZL1 and even better prepared for hot laps on international racetracks than a drag-oriented Hellcat. After all, Ford also debuted the GTD Carbon Series, which is complete with a new Performance pack on the Old Continent. However, some will also lament the cold shower of the cabin's reveal – aside from a few notable additions like the exposed carbon fiber trim and some buttons and knobs, this interior is the same as on an EcoBoost, GT, or Dark Horse.
Additionally, some fans won't forget that Ford didn't give them what they wanted – a mid-engine S650 Mustang that could easily start hunting C8 Chevy Corvette Stingray, Z06, and E-Ray prey. No worries, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators also won't let them forget what they're missing out. More precisely, Czech Republic-based virtual artist Rostislav Prokop, better known as rostislav_prokop on social media, continues his thunderous dream periplus with another bespoke take on the S650.
After the pixel master previously created a classic JDM-style seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang slammed widebody apparition in crimson and glossy black shades, now the CGI expert has gone back to the root of all GTD evils – the rumored Mustang with a mid-engine setup that didn't happen. Only this time around, he's not jumping to GTD conclusions; instead, he used the regular 5.0-liter Coyote V8-equipped Ford Mustang GT as a template for the digital transformation.
His unofficial design project is showcased as a 'simple' Ford Mustang 5.0 dressed in silver with black trim, which features the Coyote V8 under the rear glass rather than below the front hood. It's also treated to extensive aerodynamic modifications, though, making it a lot more slammed and widebody-aggressive than an equivalent C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, for example.
So, what do you think? If this Ford Mustang became real, would it stand a chance against the masterfully engineered 495-hp C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51?
