Ford has reopened applications for the Mustang GTD in Europe, giving prospective owners from September 14 through October 16, 2026, to apply for its most extreme road-focused Mustang. European production is capped at 500 cars, while pricing starts well above €300,000 before options and varies sharply by market.

The latest application round also brings a new visual option to the European offer: the Spirit of America livery. However, buyers still need to establish whether their specific market will approve the GTD for street use. Ford’s German website continues to describe European road registration as pending.

European pricing and availability

Ford has not released a country-by-country allocation for the 500 European cars. The renewed application window could indicate that earlier allocations were not filled, or that Ford is seeking a fresh group of applicants before finalizing production.

Reported pricing puts the Mustang GTD at €359,900 in Germany and Romania, €366,000 in Belgium and £315,000 in Britain. Those figures sit far above the US starting price of $327,960, including fees, with taxes and homologation costs contributing to the difference.

Local taxation pushes the price even higher in some countries. The reported figure is approximately €525,500 in Austria and €480,000 in Norway—equivalent to nearly $573,000 and $523,000, respectively. Those totals are roughly $245,000 above the US starting point.

Spirit of America edition adds a distinctive look

The Spirit of America treatment uses a Performance White exterior with Race Red and Lightning Blue stripes running over the hood and along the rocker panels. Ford describes the graphic design as a modern interpretation of the Mustang’s tri-bar theme.

Buyers can also use the Extended Color Palette option to create a one-of-one specification. The special appearance package gives the European reopening a visual differentiator that was not included in the previous application opportunity.

815-hp V8 and Nürburgring development

Power comes from a supercharged V8 producing 815 hp. That output places the GTD above every other Mustang in Ford’s current lineup and supports its position as a halo model above the Ford Racing range.

Ford developed the GTD with the Nürburgring in mind, using the German circuit as a key part of the car’s performance program. The company has positioned the Mustang as a rival to cars such as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, rather than simply a more powerful version of the standard Mustang.

Street legality remains unresolved

For European applicants, registration may be as important as price and performance. With road approval still listed as pending in Germany, some buyers could face restrictions that limit the car to track use or require further approval before it can be driven legally on public roads.

Applicants therefore have three major details to verify before committing: the October 16 deadline, the final tax-inclusive price in their country and the GTD’s registration status in their market.
