Ford Mustang GTD performance and development strategy
Overview
The Ford Mustang GTD established a new record for the fastest American production car at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, completing a lap in 6:57.685. Piloted by Dirk Müller, the vehicle utilizes a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine producing over 800 horsepower, active aerodynamics, and a carbon-fiber body.
In conjunction with this performance milestone, Ford is reportedly implementing a ‘Gemba’ management strategy. This approach, championed by CEO Jim Farley, emphasizes real-world testing and hands-on experience over virtual simulations to improve vehicle development.
