Mustang GT3 Racing

The Ford® Mustang® GT3 represents the boldest chapter in the pony car’s 60-year history, transforming an American street icon into a sophisticated, world-class endurance racer. Engineered to compete at the pinnacle of grand touring motorsport, the Mustang GT3 is Ford’s definitive statement of performance on the global stage.

Engineering Excellence

Developed through collaboration between Ford Racing, Multimatic Motorsports, and M-Sport, the Mustang GT3 is a purpose-built racing machine based on the Mustang Dark Horse™. It features a bespoke short-long arm suspension, a rear-mounted transaxle gearbox for optimized weight distribution, and a specialized 5.4-liter Coyote-based V8 engine. Its aggressive carbon-fiber aero package isn't just for show—it’s designed to provide the stability and downforce required to conquer the world’s most demanding circuits like the Nürburgring Nordschleife and Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

A Global Challenger

The Mustang GT3 was designed to take the Mustang nameplate to every corner of the globe. It competes in the most prestigious sports car championships in the world, including:

• FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC): Marking Ford’s triumphant return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Mustang GT3 challenges the world’s elite manufacturers on the most famous circuit in France.
• IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship: Competing in the GTD Pro and GTD classes, the Mustang GT3 battles for glory at legendary North American venues like Daytona, Sebring, and Road Atlanta.
• SRO GT World Challenge: From the high-speed curves of Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium to the technical sectors of circuits across Europe and the bricks of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Mustang GT3 has become a formidable contender in international sprint and endurance racing.

Global Success and Customer Racing

Beyond the factory-backed efforts, the Mustang GT3’s success is defined by its accessibility to customer teams worldwide. By partnering with elite outfits like Proton Competition, Haupt Racing Team and others, Ford has ensured the Mustang’s roar is heard on nearly every continent. Its debut season saw immediate competitive pace, proving that the Mustang platform can go door-to-door with the best from the U.S., Europe and beyond. As a true global competitor, the Mustang GT3 has stood at the top of its class in the 2025 Rolex 24 At Daytona and ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, as well as demonstrated its sprint racing prowess by capturing a championship in ADAC GT Masters. The Mustang GT3 has collected nearly 20 victories and more than 50 podiums globally in its first three years of competition.

The Mustang GT3 is more than just a race car; it is the embodiment of Ford’s "Freedom of Performance." Whether it’s navigating the Mulsanne Straight or fighting for a podium in the rain at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the Mustang GT3 carries the soul of a legend into a new era of global competition.
