The Mustang GTD takes advantage of the extensive use of carbon fiber body panels to reduce weight, lower center of gravity and improve responsiveness. The fenders, hood, cover that replaces the trunk lid, door sills, front splitter, rear diffuser and roof are all carbon fiber with optional carbon fiber front and rear fascias.
An available aero package that includes a comprehensive underbody aerodynamic tray is also executed in carbon fiber and includes features pioneered in motorsports racing, as well as some technology that would be illegal in racing, such as hydraulically controlled front flaps to manage airflow for aerodynamic balance in coordination with the active rear wing.
Where there once was a trunk is now the semi-active suspension, a hydraulic control system, and a transaxle cooling system that uses a race-inspired cover.
A cover replaces the trunk lid and includes two air scoops to funnel air off the back glass into the area and through the heat exchangers.
The combination of purposefully designed aerodynamic features will result in massive downforce balanced across both front and rear axles.
This will in turn drive corner speeds up, produce consistent control and incredible lap times at some of the world’s most hellish tracks.
