The GTD models are part of Ford's plans to expand the Mustang nameplate into the higher echelons of the sports car and racing worlds.

Ford is offering the first special edition Mustang GTD to mark the achievements of American ingenuity in what it's calling the Spirit of America.

Ford's ultimate Mustang, the Mustang GTD, will be available with a livery designed to appeal to both fans of the nameplate's history and America itself.
