Ford Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon edition is here and the amount of carbon fiber is dividing opinion

The Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon puts the Ford Mustang under a carbon fiber spotlight, exposing its structure in a way that has split opinion.

Built with Multimatic, the Mustang GTD carries an 815-horsepower supercharged V8 and a suspension system developed with racing in mind.

The Liquid Carbon edition removes paint and replaces standard panels with composite material, trimming 13 pounds compared with the Carbon Series.

It is the boldest version yet, and it raises questions about design, durability, and where the Mustang GTD sits in today’s performance market.

Carbon fiber everywhere

The Mustang GTD is the most extreme version of the Ford Mustang, designed to translate racing hardware into a road car.

In the Liquid Carbon edition, the focus shifts to material use.

Ford says the hood, roof, rear deck, and wing have been matched so the carbon fiber weave runs in line across the body.

Even the doors have been swapped for bonded carbon fiber, delivering the small weight saving.

Inside, the car uses black leather, microfiber, and bright stitching, keeping the look minimal while linking it to the new exterior.

The exposed finish has divided opinion. Supporters see it as a showcase of precision and a way to highlight the Mustang GTD’s engineering.

Others question whether the raw carbon fiber will age well, noting concerns around sunlight and long-term wear.

Many also argue that painted cars still show off the shape of the Ford Mustang better than exposed composites.

The reaction reflects how carbon fiber has become both a performance tool and a style statement across the industry.

Mustang GTD sets a new tone

The Mustang GTD Liquid Carbon shows how Ford is trying to place the Ford Mustang in the same league as European supercars.

Carbon fiber has become a common feature in limited-run performance models, often used as much for appearance as for performance.

By offering an entire edition finished this way, Ford is signaling its intent to compete in that space.

Production will be limited, which ensures the Liquid Carbon edition will remain rare.

While the 13-pound saving is not a major figure, it reflects how weight is treated in cars built for lap times rather than comfort.

The edition also appeals to collectors who look for unusual specifications.

For Ford, the Mustang Liquid Carbon is less about marketing polish and more about showing that the Ford Mustang name can stretch beyond muscle car heritage.

It positions the Mustang GTD as a serious rival to high-end performance brands while keeping its identity intact.
