2025 Ford Mustang GT3 Review
Overview
The 2025 Ford Mustang GT3 is the ultimate expression of Ford Performance’s return to global endurance racing — a purpose-built race car that takes the legendary Mustang name from the streets to the world’s greatest circuits, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Developed by Ford Performance in collaboration with Multimatic Motorsports, the Mustang GT3 transforms the seventh-generation Mustang platform into a GT-class racing machine. With a 5.4-liter V8, rear transaxle, and carbon-fiber bodywork, it’s a Mustang built for professional racers and world-class competition — not the highway.

Design & Exterior
The Mustang GT3 reimagines the familiar silhouette of the street Mustang for the racetrack. It features a wide, low, and aggressive stance, fully redesigned aerodynamics, and race-ready cooling systems.
Every inch of its carbon-fiber bodywork serves aerodynamic performance — from the deep front splitter and flared wheel arches to the massive rear wing and diffuser. The result is a race car that not only looks menacing but delivers the downforce needed for sustained cornering grip at 200+ mph.
It’s unmistakably Mustang — but evolved for war on the world’s fastest tracks.
Cockpit & Interior
Inside, the GT3 is pure motorsport:
-
Single racing seat with FIA-certified safety harness
-
Full roll cage integrated into chassis
-
Racing steering wheel with multi-function controls
-
Digital display and telemetry system
-
Fire suppression and radio systems
No luxuries — no compromises. Every switch and gauge is designed for endurance racing efficiency and safety.
Performance
The Mustang GT3’s powertrain is based on the 5.0L Coyote V8, bored and stroked to 5.4 liters and developed by M-Sport, Ford’s WRC engine partner. It delivers over 600 horsepower, tuned for reliability and performance over 24-hour endurance races.
Its rear-mounted sequential gearbox optimizes weight distribution, and the advanced double-wishbone suspension ensures incredible cornering precision. Combined with race-tuned aerodynamics, it achieves exceptional downforce and stability at high speeds.
This isn’t just a fast Mustang — it’s a championship contender.
Racing Pedigree
The Mustang GT3 competes in both IMSA and FIA World Endurance Championship, marking Ford’s official return to Le Mans in 2024 and continuing into 2025. With factory-supported teams and customer racing programs, it faces off against the world’s best — Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette, Aston Martin, and BMW — in the GT3 class.
This racing pedigree makes it one of the most significant Ford Performance vehicles of the modern era.
