New Ford Mustang is an Icon Reborn
On April 17, 1964, Ford introduced the Mustang and established a legacy that has endured for decades. And as it begins its 61st year, Mustang continues to excel on the track. In 2025, it captured a win at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and multiple NASCAR and Australian Supercar victories. It is winning in the sales chart, too.
Mustang once again tops the global sports car sales charts1 and it continued its reign as America’s best-selling sports car,2 according to S&P Global Mobility.
Ford has sold nearly 1 million Mustangs globally over the past decade. The sports car is available to customers in 85 markets and the latest Mustang, the seventh generation, is expanding its reach on both the road and the track. There is a Mustang for every Mustang fan, from the Mustang GT coupe and convertible3 to the Mustang Dark Horse4 and the 815-horsepower (826 PS)5 Mustang GTD supercar.6
Mustang’s success on the road is mirrored on the track. Beyond IMSA endurance racing, NASCAR, and Australian Supercars, Ford continues to race with Mustang in series around the world, as well as the one-make Mustang Challenge series.
The spirit of competition has been part of Ford culture since the beginning, and it is clear racing helps make Ford vehicles, including Mustang, better. Whether it’s through technology like the Drift Brake or Mustang GTD’s active aerodynamics and carbon-fibre construction or smaller details that improve performance, efficiency, or driver confidence, Mustang’s motorsports participation and racing-inspired engineering has been part of its character for 61 years.
