The Ford Mustang GTD Is Even More Expensive Than We Thought
is finally preparing to launch the Mustang GTD. It's one of the wildest Mustangs ever from the automaker, and it's got a price tag to match. The
2025 Mustang GTD
officially starts at $327,960, which is a bit more than the $300,000 Ford predicted when it announced the car nearly two years ago. That number crept up to $325,00 last year when Ford released additional details.
The price includes a $5,500 destination fee and a $3,700 gas guzzler tax, as the GTD is a thirsty beast. The car's Monroney says it gets 12 miles per gallon combined, 17 mpg on the highway, and 10 mpg in the city. The base price of the car alone is $318,760—the most of any Mustang, ever. But this is not your grandpa's pony car.
What Mustang GTD Buyers Get for $327,000
Under the hood is a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine producing
815 horsepower
and 664 pound-feet of torque. But that's only part of the story. This Mustang is a road-legal version of Ford's GT3 race car, featuring
semi-active rear inboard pushrod suspension
(which is visible through the rear bulkhead), a carbon-fiber driveshaft, and an eight-speed, dual-clutch transaxle gearbox.
The Mustang has a near-perfect 50-50 weight balance, with Ford using a ton of carbon fiber to keep the weight down. Despite it being a road-legal version of a race car, the cabin features a mix of suede, carbon fiber, and leather, and an optional package adds titanium paddles, a titanium shifter, and more.
Sadly, we don't know all the available options or how much they'll cost. Our first look at the GTD's price tag and window sticker comes from an
owner who posted it to Facebook
, but they didn't add a lot of extras. The red brake calipers are $1,500, while the exposed carbon roof costs $10,000, bringing the total to $339,460.
We have no idea how high the Mustang GTD price can reach, but Ford has made a big deal about buyers
fighting over exclusive exterior colors
. That's likely just the start of the available upgrades. There's also the
Mustang GTD Spirit of America
, a special edition version that, as of now, has no price tag.
This has us wondering: Is a $400,000 Ford Mustang possible? It sure seems so.

EV Connector Market worth $8.80 billion by 2032
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The EV connector market is projected to reach USD 8.80 billion by 2032, from USD 2.73 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 18.2%, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. EV connectors for high-voltage systems are increasingly required to support miniaturization, weight reduction, and high-performance materials, alongside rising demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency transmission to support complex systems such as ADAS, battery management, vehicle lighting, and autonomous driving. As EVs rapidly adopt advanced driver-assistance and autonomous technologies, connectors must handle massive data flows, offering manufacturers opportunities for technological advancement. This trend is further accelerated by the shift toward zonal architectures and centralized computing, driving demand for multi-signal, high-speed connectors. Download an Illustrative overview: Browse in-depth TOC on "EV Connector Market" 307 - Tables 83 - Figures 305 - Pages Battery management systems are expected to show significant growth during the forecast period As EV battery architectures shift to more integrated, structural formats, demand for precise and reliable connectors has become more pronounced. In January 2024, JAE supplied HVIL-compliant signal connectors for BYD's Blade Battery, meeting high vibration tolerance and enabling stable BMS-to-cell communication. Similarly, in March 2024, TE Connectivity launched AMP+ high-voltage connectors for compact BMS setups in cylindrical and prismatic cells, offering enhanced creepage, clearance, and EMI shielding. These connectors featured improved creepage and clearance characteristics along with integrated shielding to minimize EMI, ensuring robust signal and power transmission in high-vibration environments. Such developments highlight a growing emphasis on connector precision and reliability as essential enablers of high-performance and safety-centric battery management systems in next-generation EVs. Board-to-board connection is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period Board-to-board connectors establish direct electrical connections between two printed circuit boards (PCBs) within the same electronic module. These connectors support vertical, horizontal, and mezzanine stacking and are critical in applications such as digital cockpit units, centralized computing systems, and battery control modules. Their key advantages include enabling modular design, minimizing signal loss, and supporting high-speed data transmission in software-defined vehicle architectures. In June 2024, ERNI introduced zero-insertion-force board-to-board connectors for modular stacked ECU applications such as ADAS, infotainment, zonal architectures, and autonomous driving controllers, supporting multi-row layouts and shielded designs. Asia Pacific is expected to be the leading market during the forecast period Asia Pacific leads the global EV connector market, driven by robust manufacturing capabilities, increased EV production, and rapid innovation in vehicle electronics. As of 2024, the region accounted for over 55% of global EV output, supported by key automakers such as BYD, SAIC, Geely, Toyota, Hyundai, and Tata Motors. This strong presence fuels consistent demand for a broad spectrum of connectors from high-voltage components used in batteries and traction inverters to compact signal connectors for infotainment, ADAS, and zonal control systems in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). In July 2024, Sumitomo Electric began developing fiber-optic connectors to enable high-speed data transfer in SDVs through zonal E/E architectures. Adding to the region's momentum, Hyundai Mobis expanded its EV components plant in Ulsan in June 2024 to scale production of integrated connector modules, reinforcing Asia Pacific's position as the strategic hub for next-generation EV connector development.

Cybertruck Regains Some Glory At Mobbed Tesla Diner Opening
Tesla Cybertruck had a big presence on Monday evening at the opening of the Tesla Diner. The Tesla Diner was mobbed Monday evening after opening to the general public. Cybertrucks were prominent. When I arrived at around 7:00 pm, Cybertrucks were out in force, charging in the front parking lot (see video below). Cybertruck sales have hit a rough patch in the last couple of quarters but you would never know that on Monday evening. The line of people snaked from the Diner down N. Orange Ave., which borders the a two-story, circular stainless steel structure on the east side. The queue on N. Orange was several hundred feet long (see photo below). In addition to the people waiting to eat, all of the 80 Superchargers were being used. With Teslas lining up to charge on N. Orange Ave. The lion's share of the 80 Superchargers are in the back lot. And that was also completely waiting to get in diner extended several hundred feet down N. Orange Ave Patrons lining up outside the diner. The line snaked back along N. Orange Ave Tesla Diner back lot was full.
