It's Official: The Mustang GTD Produces More Horsepower Per Liter Than A 911 GT3 RS

With these developments, Porsche now has enough reasons to rethink its strategy for the upcoming 992.2 911 GT3 RS

It has been over a year since the Ford Mustang GTD debuted, and only now we're getting to know the actual power figures of this race-spec Mustang

Ford has disclosed that the Mustang GTD produces 815 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque!

The Mustang GTD sports the same 5.2-liter supercharged V8 from the latest Shelby GT500 with a dry-sump lubrication and a 7,650 RPM redline

Ford even quoted the top speed rating of the Mustang GTD, which is a whopping 202 mph!

Like the 911 GT3 RS, the Mustang GTD features a drag reduction system or DRS, helping it to achieve those high speeds

Ford even commented that the Mustang GTD's horsepower per liter is better than the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and the carmaker is correct!

If you calculate the Mustang GTD's 815 hp and 5.2-liter displacement, the result is 156.7 hp per liter

As for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, its 4.0-liter engine displacement and 518 hp turns out to be 129.5 hp per liter

While we know that the Mustang GTD is unlike any other Mustang and is very lightweight, we don't have the exact figures, yet

However, we think it will be slightly on the heavier side compared to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, thanks to its bigger size and a heavier powertrain unit
