Ford released a new trailer that teases a documentary about the Mustang GTD 2025 attempt to set a sub-seven-minute time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the famous racetrack in Germany.

Ford CEO Jim Farley had previously indicated that the company’s goal is to achieve the first sub-seven-minute time for an American car, with the official announcement set for December 10.

The Mustang GTD is a performance-focused model, equipped with a supercharged V8 engine producing 815 horsepower and high-end suspension, designed to outpace European cars on the track. Ford aims to use the Nürburgring lap record to make history as the first American manufacturer to achieve this feat.

The 48-second trailer released by Ford shows the GTD in action at the Nürburgring, with footage highlighting the challenging track.

The company also confirmed the release of a documentary titled “Road to the Ring,” which will air on December 10 and detail Ford’s journey to achieve the record. The expectation is that the official lap time will be revealed on that same day.
