Mustang GTD Competition Smashes Nürburgring Lap Record for Americans

Ford's Mustang GTD Competition posted a 6:40.835 Nürburgring lap, making it the fastest American production car on the track and beating the Corvette ZR1X by over eight seconds. The record run uses an evolved 5.2L supercharged V8 with more power, plus magnesium wheels, carbon seats, lighter dampers and aero upgrades, and a new tire package to deliver improved grip. A limited, serialized production version of the upgraded car will follow the regular GTD, while Ford continues to push performance bragging rights on the Green Hell.
