About Ford Mustang GT

The Drive stated the Ford Mustang GTD is currently undergoing development and has not entered production yet, with plans for a limited production run. It also reported that Ford intends to launch a video series that provides insights into the design and evolution of the Grand Touring Daytona, beginning before the supercar's prominent unveiling at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
