This wouldn’t just be an American win, it would place the Mustang GTD right near the top tier of production car performance at the Nürburgring.
That is over 12 times the sticker price.
American drag strips may have found their new cult hero.
Pricing starts at R3,700,000.
When you consider the performance on offer, even at full spec, the ZR1X remains astonishing value.
The ZR1X clocked a 6:49.275, and the ZR1 followed with a 6:50.763.
In future, you will also be able to order the turbocharged ZR1 and the extreme ZR1X once they go into production.
It can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in under 2 seconds and run to 372 km/h.
Currently, that record belongs to Ford and their mean Mustang GTD.
