Debuting at the Detroit Auto Show, the new Mustang RTR is the result of Ford ‘s partnership with RTR (Ready to Rock) Vehicles, which was founded by longtime friend of Ford, Vaughn Gittin, Jr. Both companies were shy on providing specs but confirmed via a joint press release that the RTR was developed for “first-time track enthusiasts.”

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.

This latest iteration—effectively a special appearance package—borrows its name from a land-speed racing legend.

The Ford Mustang GTD has already cemented its place in the canon of great American sports cars, as it’s the first U.S.-made machine to break the seven-minute barrier at the Nürburgring. The car’s 6:57.685 lap puts it ahead of plenty of serious performance machines, including the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Ferrari 296 GTB.
