Greg Goodall, Chief Program Engineer for Mustang GTD, emphasized the functionality of every element on and under the car’s body. He stated, “Every surface, body opening, and vent on and under Mustang GTD’s body is functional. Some air is directed for cooling, others for aerodynamics and downforce. All of it is designed to help GTD achieve higher speeds and stick to the pavement, regardless of the conditions.”
When facing sharp turns and the need for superior grip outweighs speed, the DRS system swiftly closes the main wing element and front flap to create an integrated airfoil, generating extra downforce at the rear to enhance stability through corners. Simultaneously, the front underbody, designed like a keel, facilitates the evacuation of incoming air through the front wheel wells and large fender louvers, creating a lower pressure zone that acts like a suction force, ensuring stability during turns.
