Ford’s monthly production data for August 2026 shows 39,330 Mustangs built through the first eight months. Just 384 of those were Ford Mustang GTDs — hand assembled at Multimatic in Ontario after leaving Flat Rock in Michigan. That is 0.986 percent of total output. One GTD for every 99 Mustangs Ford built this year.
Ford Mustang GTD Production Numbers — Month by Month

|---|---|---|
| January | 42 | 2 |
| February | 40 | 0 |
| March | 44 | 3 |
| April | 44 | 1 |
| May | 49 | 10 |
| June | 58 | 31 |
| July | 57 | 35 |
| August | 50 | 36 |
| Total | 384 | 118 |
Production peaked in June — 58 units off the line. July came in at 57. August dropped to 50. Multimatic closed 2025 at 118 Ford Mustang GTDs. Eight months into 2026 the count is 384 — 266 more than all of last year. Four months of hand assembly still to go at the Ontario facility.
The remaining 38,946 Mustangs built through August were EcoBoosts, GTs, and Dark Horses. Combined they account for 99 percent of Mustang production. The GTD’s share — 0.986 percent.
What Makes the Ford Mustang GTD Different
Ford launched the GTD in 2023 as the road-legal version of its Mustang GT3 race car. Not a race car inspired road car — the actual GT3 race car, made street legal.
Under the bonnet sits a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 producing 815 horsepower. Behind that — an eight-speed dual-clutch transaxle. Connecting the two — a carbon fibre driveshaft. That layout puts the transmission at the rear axle, improving weight distribution over a conventional front-engine, rear-gearbox setup.
The suspension is semi-active. Rear inboard pushrods are visible from inside the cabin through the bulkhead — a detail straight out of motorsport. Rear seats are gone. Boot space — zero. This is not a car Ford built for practicality.
Carbon fibre throughout to keep weight down. An optional aerodynamics package adds downforce for track use. GTD pricing starts above $325,000 — and buyers cannot simply walk into a dealership and order one. Ford requires an application before purchase is approved.
Where the Ford Mustang GTD Is Built
Every GTD begins at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly plant south of Detroit — the same facility that builds all Mustangs. From there it gets shipped to Multimatic in Ontario, Canada for final assembly. That last stage is done by hand.
That two-plant process is part of why Ford Mustang GTD production numbers stay so low. Hand assembly at Multimatic takes time. Each car gets individual attention that a standard production line cannot provide. 384 units through August reflects exactly that.
Multimatic is not a random choice either. The company builds Ford’s GT supercar and supplies suspension components to multiple Formula One teams. The Ford Mustang GTD is in capable hands.
How Rare Is the Ford Mustang GTD Really
To put GTD production in context — Ferrari builds around 13,000 cars per year globally across all models. Lamborghini builds around 10,000. At current rates that is roughly 575 units for the full year 2026 if production holds through December.
That puts the GTD in genuinely rare territory — not limited edition supercar rare, but rare enough that seeing one on the road is a real event. Most Mustang buyers will never see a GTD outside of a car show or a track day.
At $325,000 plus, the buyer pool is naturally limited. GTD buyers apply, get approved, then pay. It is a process more similar to buying a Ferrari Monza or a McLaren Elva than walking into a Ford dealership for an EcoBoost.
Ford Mustang GTD vs Rest of Mustang Lineup
| Model | 2026 Production | Starting Price | Engine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang GTD | 384 | $325,000+ | 815hp supercharged 5.2L V8 |
| Mustang EcoBoost | Part of 38,946 | From $32,515 | 310hp 2.3L turbo four |
| Mustang GT | Part of 38,946 | From $42,515 | 486hp 5.0L V8 |
| Mustang Dark Horse | Part of 38,946 | From $57,970 | 500hp 5.0L V8 |
Ford Mustang GTD Is Only Getting More Exclusive
Production is up significantly year on year. 118 units in all of 2025. 384 through August 2026 alone. Ford is ramping up — but slowly and deliberately.
Even at full Multimatic capacity the GTD will never be a common sight. The hand-assembly process, the application-based buying process, and the $325,000 price tag make sure of that. Less than one percent of Mustang production. That number tells the whole story.
