Ford (NYSE:F)'s Mustang GTD has achieved a significant automotive milestone by completing a lap of the Nürburgring in under seven minutes, a feat that marks the first time an American brand has accomplished this at the German track. According to Ford CEO Jim Farley, the Mustang GTD recorded a time of 6 minutes and 57.685 seconds.

Farley expressed immense pride in the accomplishment, stating, "This is the gold-standard for sports car development." He also hinted at future attempts to surpass this time, indicating the team's intent to return and aim for even faster laps.

The Mustang GTD, which draws inspiration from the Mustang GT3 race car, is engineered to deliver exceptional performance. It boasts an impressive 815 horsepower and can reach a top track speed of 202 MPH. The design of the Mustang GTD is not only meant to excel on race tracks against Europe's premier sports cars but also to bring its formidable power to American roads.
