The Ford Mustang GTD Might Not Be Street Legal Everywhere

Key Takeaways

Ford’s 2025 Mustang GTD offers a powerful 800 hp engine and supercar-like suspension for track-ready performance.
It’s intended to be street-legal, but that might not be the case in every country.
European buyers can order the car now, but won’t know for sure if it’ll end up being a track-only car where they live.

The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is an incredible sports car set to have over 800 horsepower. Its suspension system looks like it was taken right out of a supercar, and it’s track-ready. It’s also street-legal, but that might not end up being the case everywhere.

2025 Ford Mustang GTD Fastback

MSRP: $300,000
Engine: 5.2L Supercharged V8 Gas
Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive
Transmission: 8-speed Dual-clutch transaxle Automatic
Horsepower: 800 hp

In the US, there’s no issue and those who are approved to order the GTD are just fine. In Europe, it’s a bit more complicated. It’s also even more outrageously expensive across the pond.

Ordering the Mustang GTD in the US required a 50 percent deposit and buyers were happy to plunk down $162,000 to get their hands on this $325,000 sports car. Orders are closed in the US and Canada, but they only recently opened in Europe. Not only is it even more expensive, it might not be street-legal.

It’s not that Ford is pricing the car all willy-nilly, but that taxes can significantly alter the price of anything in Europe depending on the country you call home. Where’s the worst place to call home if you want the Mustang GTD? That would be Austria, where you’ll pay $562,300 dollars to get your hands on one.

Norway is also a pricey spot to buy this Mustang with a sticker of $512,200, as is the Netherlands, which comes in at $510,200. Not everyone faces such a crazy price increase. Germans and Romanians only pay $385,100, but that’s still an extra $60K over what we paid here in the US. You could nearly buy two regular Ford Mustang coupes with that extra cash.

When you’re entering the elite world of supercars, you need more than just performance to attract big checks.

That pricing is tough, but even tougher is not knowing if you’ll be able to take the car on the road. It’s absolutely Ford’s intent to make this street legal everywhere, but it’s currently being homologated. That means it’s not approved for the road yet, and there’s the possibility it might not receive approval everywhere. If you order the Mustang GTD in Europe, you’ll have to wait to see where you’ll be allowed to drive.
