I clicked on the link expecting to hate it. I really don’t - it looks great. Diesel is obviously racecar now (yeah, my Audi has a direct link to the Le Mans winners, honest

).

Why call it “GTD” and stick in a petrol engine? Bloody yanks

Oh, it’s not actually a diesel? I just had a quick skim of the article and didn’t notice anywhere that said if was gas or diesel

From a different article:
The Mustang GTD gets its name from IMSA's GTD (Grand Touring Daytona) racing class, within which full-on GT3 race cars compete
That’s something European publishers will be putting in every article, guess Americans don’t have the same nomenclature for diesels as we do

Rear wing is horrible.
Pumped arches are awesume (despite a bit too much venting on the fronts)
Wheels are too fussy but fill the arches nicely. SSSNM.
Approved.
(Even though it uses the 5.2 which I assume is still a flat-plane crank. A muscle car without a muscle car sound track is a bit of a shame).

325 section front tyres!
Pic 10 looks like it’s so heavy it broke its suspension, (or it doesn’t have any!)
