Ford Motor Company has made supercars before - like the Ford GT that took on Ferrari at Le Mans - and won. Now the automaker is taking the supercar recipe to its everyday Mustang pony car, featuring supercharged performance, and a supercar price of around $300,000.

The Mustang GTD, just debuted at Monterey Car Week, is basically the company's Mustang GT3 racecar, for the road - but it’s even more hardcore than the racecar, if you can believe it. Ford says the GTD is powered by its most powerful V8 ever, a version of the GT500’s “Predator” 5.2 Liter supercharged V8, producing around 800 horsepower.

That may be a question for another day, as the GTD, which for now is slotted in as a 2025 model year car, will be built in such a small quantity that it will likely be highly sought after among car enthusiasts.Ford Motor Co., CEO Jim Farley announces Ford Motor will partner with Chinese-based, Amperex Technology, to build an all-electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall, Michigan, during a press conference in Romulus, Michigan U.S., February 13, 2023.

Farley has been driving around the country in a Ford Lightning EV, trying to see what its like to live day in, day out with an EV. He believes most of the issues we face with the EV transformation are human issues - like planning, range anxiety, and things like that - but that doesn't mean systems like the nation's charging infrastructure don't need improvement.
