The GTD<\/a> won’t be the only supercharged S650-generation Ford Mustang. Ford is also working on something else as a follow-up to the 2020-2022 GT500, and it sounds mean. Spy video from\u00a0Ford Authority\u00a0<\/em>shows<\/a> what looks to be a near-production-ready GT500 prowling around Metro Detroit, with its supercharged V-8 burbling away through a variety of exhaust setups.<\/p>\n

There’s a test car with four rectangular-shaped exhaust pipes, another with four traditional round tailpipes, and one with just two pipes. Ford seems to be running all of these in an exhaust setting that mutes the engine somewhat, but the distinctive V-8 note comes through regardless. You can also hear the car shifting quickly.<\/p>\n

We expect that this car will use a dual-clutch transmission of some sort. The old GT500 used a seven-speed DCT, while the new GTD uses a rear-mounted eight-speed transaxle. Both come from Tremec and are similar to the unit used in the C8 Corvette.<\/p>\n
