A Ford Mustang GTD 2025 owner commissioned a custom paint job using a genuine Lamborghini color, paying over $320,000 for the muscle car with a supercar finish. The Verde Mantis green hue, sourced from Lamborghini's catalog, transforms the already exclusive Mustang into a unique collector's piece.
A Ford Mustang GTD owner has taken personalization to the next level by ordering a custom paint job sourced directly from Lamborghini’s color palette. The result is a $320,000 muscle car that now looks like a Italian exotic, thanks to the vibrant Verde Mantis green.
How Did a Mustang GTD Get Lamborghini Paint?
Ford’s Custom Paint Program allows buyers to select virtually any color, including hues from rival brands like Lamborghini. The anonymous owner chose Verde Mantis, a bright, bold green that gives the Mustang GTD a supercar-like presence. The car was spotted on Instagram by the account mustanggtd_registry.
How Much Does the Custom Paint Cost?
The base price of a Ford Mustang GTD is $325,000 (approximately SAR 1.22 million). Adding a custom Lamborghini paint job costs an extra $10,000 to $20,000 (SAR 37,500 to SAR 75,000), depending on complexity. This brings the total to around $345,000 (SAR 1.29 million).
Why Choose a Lamborghini Paint for a Ford?
While the Mustang GTD is a formidable muscle car with 800 hp, it lacks the exotic aura of Italian supercars. By opting for a Lamborghini color, the owner gains a unique look that stands out from other GTDs and expresses personal taste. Rarity also plays a role: only a handful of GTDs wear Lamborghini colors, potentially increasing collectible value.
Is This Option Available in Saudi Arabia and the UAE?
Yes, Ford’s Custom Paint Program is available in the Gulf region, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, it requires additional production time. Customers can request exclusive colors, but expect to pay a premium of SAR 40,000 to SAR 75,000 (approx. $10,000-$20,000) over the standard price. Dealers in both countries can facilitate the order.
How Does the Mustang GTD Compare to Rivals?
- Ford Mustang GTD (Lamborghini paint): ~SAR 1.2M, 800 hp, 0-100 km/h in 3.0 sec
- Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica: ~SAR 1.5M, 640 hp, 0-100 km/h in 3.2 sec
- Porsche 911 GT3 RS: ~SAR 1.0M, 525 hp, 0-100 km/h in 3.2 sec
The Mustang GTD offers more power and quicker acceleration at a lower price than the Huracán, but lacks the Italian badge prestige. The Porsche is lighter and more track-focused.
Is the Custom Paint Worth the Extra Cost?
For enthusiasts seeking exclusivity, the Lamborghini paint transforms the Mustang GTD into a one-of-a-kind machine. However, it comes with a hefty price tag and longer wait times. Ultimately, the decision hinges on personal taste and budget.
