If you care more about the color of your car than its speed, you've come to the wrong place. The Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon ditches the paint, gets carbon doors and standard Performance equipment - the result is a leaner, more brutal and tastelessly exciting Ford that breathes the track while calmly parking in front of a restaurant.
What exactly is “Liquid Carbon”? Short answer: A Mustang that is carbon fiber. Ford stripped the GTD's body down to its composite muscles, saving about 13 lbs (5.9 kg) in comparison with GTD Carbon Series with Performance PackageThe weight doesn't just disappear by removing the polish; steel door panels are replaced with carbon ones, glued to metal frames, identical to the rear fender procedure. What's best: weaving pattern is “bookmatched” – matching and symmetrically runs over cover, roof, wing and tail. Carbon fiber fiction that doesn't need any varnish this time. Ford Mustang The GTD Liquid Carbon is also a package that comes exclusively in conjunction with the Performance package.
Performance Package: Magnesium, Aerodynamics and Less Insulation This is the Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon
Since speed is done in the air, Performance adds 20-inch magnesium wheels, diving plane ailerons, larger lower deflector, active drag reduction system (DRS) on the rear wing and even underground hatches – meanwhile something flies out sound insulationThis makes it even easier for the GTD to cut through the air and achieve its goals on the track. Black Brembo calipers with anodized GTD lettering they are the icing on the cake.
Heart – Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon: 5.2-liter supercharged V8, now certified 815 hp
In front, but the soul behind: supercharged 5.2 V8 (Predator) is SAE-certified at 815 hp (608 kW) and 664 lb‑ft (900 Nm), while rotating until 7,650 rpm. Top speed: 202 mph (325 km/h) – the highest ever for a production Mustang, helped by DRS. Exhaust? Titan, the sound is appropriate. The drive is via carbon drive shafts to rear 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle, which provides almost 50/50 weight distribution. Tires? Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, 325 mm front and 345 mm rear.
A chassis that you can observe from the cabin
The Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon is a technological postcard from the racetrack: semi-active suspension with rear inboard pushrods, Multimatic Adaptive Spool Valve (ASV) shock absorbers and double ride height. Ford even cut out "suspension window” – so you and your neighbor can see how it works and why GTD runs out of frame on bends.
Cabin: Espresso Black, Awakened by “Hyper Lime”
The interior combines leather and Microfiber dynamicsand the seams are colored Hyper Lime – from the seats through the doors to the steering wheel. Liquid Carbon The visual is consistent with the exterior: the center of the seats has reflective pattern, and the ambiance remains sporty ascetic – Performance takes some insulation, so the word V8 with diet comes up.
Speed at the Nürburgring: a goal achieved – and improved
Ford first became first American manufacturer, which is with Mustang GTD officially broke through 7 minutes on Nordschleife – 6:57,685. Then they returned and time crashed to 6:52.072Or to put it another way: this isn't just the loudest Mustang, it's also one of the most efficient.
Where does this weirdo come from and when does it come?
The Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon is born at the factory Flat Rock and continues in Multimatic to a Canadian factory where it is hand-finished. For Liquid Carbon Ford announces first deliveries in October – logical complement to the special version Spirit of America (this is also already part of the GTD family).
How much does this absence of color cost?
Price list Liquid Carbon officially silent yet, but the calculation will be above the basic GTD. For orientation: Mustang GTD after the officially revealed “monroney” sticker in the US starts at 327,960 $ (after taxes and duties). They are not embarrassed at Ford: it is supercar with a horse on his nose, not a Ford for leasing in five minutes.

Conclusion: when carbon is aesthetics and ethics
Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon is that one muscle car, who learned the etiquette of aerodynamics. A discarded paint is not a pose; it is mass saving and visual honesty. Carbon fiber doors, matching weave throughout the car and standard Performance package they elevate it from “just another very fast Mustang” to the club where they belong the results: 202 mph (325 km/h) in the peak and sub-7 at the Nürburgring, improved on 6:52,072. It's black in the cabin, but not dark at all – Hyper Lime the stitches are blinking, suspension window and turns the silence of the engineers into the talking point of every café by the racetrack. If Liquid Carbon cost much more than the basic ones 327.960 $, this won't be a surprise. Value? If you're buying a chronometer and a clipping from the periodic table, yes – because here every gram and every strip of weaving it means a few seconds, some prestige, and one of the most outrageous Fords of all time.
