The Mustang GT DTM had a 5-litre, 90-degree V8 producing 540 hp. Specifications mention 7,200 rpm and 580 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Matt Johnson and Scott Newbury of Ford in Orlando, Florida developed the engine. Top speed exceeded 300 km/h and weight was 1,100 kg. Finland’s ATAgears built the gearbox and also supplied Ferrari’s Formula One team. The front and rear bumpers, doors and bonnet were carbon fibre.
