The 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is stunningly easy to drive fast, a true cheat code for both road and racetrack. At 4,386 pounds, it outweighs the Mustang Dark Horse and Porsche 911 GT3 RS, yet feels planted, stable, and shockingly quick from behind the wheel. With 815 horsepower, 664 lb-ft of torque, custom Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the GTD delivers relentless grip, massive stopping power, and confidence through every corner. It matches the GT3 RS on high-speed downforce turns and outperforms it in tight, low-speed corners thanks to its wide tires and advanced rear suspension. On the street, the GTD remains forgiving and composed, with adjustable suspension and active aerodynamics that make it livable. Inside, though, the $325,000 Mustang shows its weak spot — an interior closer to a $40,000 car. Still, Ford has already received far more applications than available build slots for this limited-production machine. Ford calls it “a supercar with the soul of a Mustang,” and the GTD proves it on track and on the road.

Edsel Ford's 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster was the prototype for an American sports car. Now, 92 years later, replica builders from Argentina have reimagined it with a fully modern chassis, powertrain, suspension, and more all while rendering the body in dimensionally accurate carbon-fiber. The result isn't a replica, a restoration, or a restomod, but something completely new with a very old soul.

We took the 2026 Subaru Outback Wilderness and the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport deep into the California desert for a real-world off-road comparison packed with hill climbs, articulation tests, sand washes, and challenging terrain. After driving both on-road and off-road, we found some surprising differences in ride quality, capability, traction, comfort, and value. The Passport TrailSport impressed us with its spacious interior, smooth ride, and rugged attitude, while the Outback Wilderness shocked us with incredible traction and confidence on loose terrain.
