The Goodwood Festival of Speed is in full swing, and Ford brought its $300K Mustang.
Right from the word go, the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD took the idea of your “typical” muscle car and went absolutely berserk with it. The relative few who actually get the chance to own one will have more customization options than the company initially let on, thanks to today’s news of the GTD’s “Extended Color Palette” option. As the most hardcore Mustang takes on the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ford shared some more details on exactly what customers can expect when they go to pick the hue for their example.
For reference, the 2024 Ford Mustang’s exterior color range extends to about a dozen options depending on the model. The GTD gets six of its own “standard paints”, but the Extended Color Palette, as the name suggests, broadens the horizon to cover thousands of colors. Think along the lines of Porsche’s Paint-to-Sample catalog, though Ford’s program may even make that look fairly limited. The idea is that you can take your desired color to the Mustang GTD Concierge (yes, pay $300,000-plus for a Mustang and you will get the concierge treatment), and they’ll do their best to match the car’s color through this thousands-deep catalog. Owners will get a sample of the color to see how it reacts to different lighting conditions and whether it is really the right fit.
If GTD buyers want to take it a step further, Ford also offers the “Exclusive Extended Color Palette Lock-Out” option. That guarantees that a particular car will be a 1-of-1 hue.
Ford did not announce exactly how much this extended color option will cost. That said, given the car’s $300,000 base price, it will absolutely not come cheap. Not that it necessarily matters when you’re shopping at this echelon, of course.
In addition to showing off its “Indulgent Blue” color, Ford is taking the GTD up the hill at Goodwood in the Batch 6A class of cars, making the charge against supercars from Lamborghini, Ferrari and Bugatti, among others. More news is coming in August during Monterey Car Week, as well, so we haven’t heard the last of what’s coming down the pike for the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD.
