Ford unveiled its latest muscle car at the Detroit Auto Show this week. It’s not just any muscle car. It’s the Mustang GTD called Spirit of America, which is a tribute to the turbojet-powered cars from decades ago.
The white two-door muscle car has red and white stripes down the center that are meant to mimic the overalls that professional race car driver Craig Breedlove wore when he broke the 500 mph and 600 mph barriers in the 1960s.
The new Mustang has a 5.2 liter, V8 engine with 815 horsepower. It’s the most powerful Ford Mustang in history with speeds capable of hitting 200 miles per hour. The company urges potential buyers to “explore Ford Mustang history” with a video that features its Mustang series.
Ford said it has already received about 7500 applications for both the 2025 and 2026 Mustang GTD. Drivers will have to shell out $325,000 for a chance to take the ritzy ride on the road.
