Ford’s most extreme Mustang has quietly achieved a milestone that places it in rare company, even among the world’s most exclusive performance cars. During the first 11 months of the year, Ford delivered 231 examples of the Mustang GTD, a figure that exceeds the combined global deliveries of Bugatti and Rimac hypercars over the same period.
The Mustang GTD is far from a mass-produced vehicle. Buyers must apply for the opportunity to purchase one, and Ford tightly controls production. Still, those delivery figures show just how limited the hypercar market remains by comparison. Bugatti and Rimac, operating under the Bugatti Rimac joint venture led by Mate Rimac, delivered a total of 136 vehicles in 2025, marking the strongest year yet for the ultra-low-volume brands. With those cars sold worldwide, the number appearing on U.S. roads is likely far lower than the Mustang GTD, most of which were delivered domestically.
The disparity highlights the extreme rarity of modern hypercars, despite their frequent appearances across social media. Pricing plays a central role. Bugatti models cost multiple millions, while the Rimac Nevera sits deep into seven-figure territory. Even in a strong sales year, demand remains limited by both cost and buyer preferences.
Bugatti has accounted for most of the joint venture’s volume, while Rimac has faced challenges selling the planned 150-unit run of its all-electric Nevera. Buyers in this segment have shown hesitation toward electric hypercars, prompting Rimac to explore alternative powertrain strategies. The more powerful Nevera R was introduced to boost interest and has since broken several performance records.
Against that backdrop, the Mustang GTD has carved out its own legacy. The track-focused, street-legal car became the first American production vehicle to lap Germany’s Nürburgring in under seven minutes, first achieving the feat in late 2024 before improving its time in May 2025. Its best lap of 6:52.072 is quicker than the Rimac Nevera’s recorded time of 7:05.298, despite producing less than half the electric hypercar’s power. No official Bugatti lap times have been published.
The GTD’s performance comes from an 815-horsepower supercharged 5.2-liter V8, extensive carbon-fiber construction, advanced aerodynamics, and adaptive dampers capable of changing settings in milliseconds. Developed with Canadian firm Multimatic, the car draws heavily from Ford’s racing experience.
Starting at $318,760, the Mustang GTD is confirmed for the 2025 and 2026 model years. Total production has not been disclosed, though volumes are expected to be only slightly higher than the previous Ford GT’s roughly 1,350 units.
