Ford announced the 2026 Mustang GTD Spirit of America on May 13, and the name alone carries more history than most people realize. It isn't a new marketing invention—the Spirit of America nameplate has been attached to Mustangs since the 1960s, when Ford used patriotic packaging to move cars during politically charged moments in American life. What's new is the scale: this time, the patriotism comes wrapped around 800 supercharged horsepower, a 202-mph top speed, and a price tag north of $300,000.
