Fewer than 700 Ford Mustang GTDs exist anywhere on earth right now. As of August 2026, Ford and Canadian race-car specialist Multimatic have built 655 of the 815-hp, ~$300,000 track machines — more than a third of the projected 1,700-unit run, according to Autoblog’s reconstruction of Ford’s monthly sales data. That’s a remarkably short list for a car this capable. And it’s still being written.
From Two Cars a Month to Sixty
Multimatic’s ramp from a trickle to a steady rhythm tells the real story of what hand-built production actually looks like.
January 2025 yielded exactly two GTDs; February produced none — not typos, but the reality of carbon-intensive, motorsport-derived manufacturing before a process fully stabilizes. Then June 2025 arrived: 31 units rolled out, accounting for 66% of all GTDs built to that point, according to Carscoops. Full-year 2025 closed at 271 units. In 2026, the cadence shifted entirely.
Production climbed steadily through the year, with notable monthly figures including:
- June 2026 set a single-month record of 58 units
- July held strong at 57 units
- August added 50 more, pushing the 2026 year-to-date total to 384 units — already surpassing all of 2025 with four months still remaining
Combined with last year’s output, that brings the cumulative total to 655 GTDs worldwide.
“More than a third of the initial overall production target,” per Autoblog’s analysis of Ford’s sales data. That phrasing sounds modest until the math lands: fewer than 700 cars in existence puts the GTD in a rarity tier most European track specials would quietly envy.
Ford isn’t leaving that exclusivity unprotected. The company has actively discouraged speculative flipping, enforcing contractual waiting periods that restrict early resale — a policy reported by both Autoevolution and Carscoops. That’s not optics; it’s a market signal. Over 7,500 applications reportedly came in for fewer than 2,000 planned first-wave allocations. Demand has never been the problem.
The Production Window Is Longer Than You Think
Ford has formally extended GTD production through the 2029 model year, well beyond what most early buyers assumed.
At the current 40–60 units per month cadence, Multimatic is firmly on track for roughly 500 GTDs annually — consistent with Ford’s original planning assumptions. How many additional units will be built between 2027 and 2029 remains unannounced; Ford’s official consumer site describes production only as “very limited” without disclosing specific figures.
If that 500-unit pace holds through 2029, total production could clear 2,000 — still a remarkably small number for a mainstream automaker, but enough to establish the GTD as a sustained halo program rather than a single-season statement. Ford’s broader Mustang line is already feeling the effect: overall Mustang sales jumped roughly 22% in the first half of 2026. The GTD is doing exactly the job it was built to do.
