Compare the2026 Ford Mustang GTD VS 2026 Ferrari F80

The Mustang GTD has standard Post Collision Braking, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The F80 doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Both the Mustang GTD and the F80 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras and driver alert monitors.

The Ford Mustang GTD weighs 981 pounds more than the Ferrari F80. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Ford’s powertrain warranty covers the Mustang GTD 2 years longer than Ferrari covers the F80. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the F80 ends after only 3 years.

The Mustang GTD’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the F80’s (5 vs. 3 years).

There are almost 67 times as many Ford dealers as there are Ferrari dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Mustang GTD’s warranty.

The F80’s redline is at 9000 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Mustang GTD has a 7650 RPM redline.

The Mustang GTD has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The F80 doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

	Mustang GTD	F80
Front Rotors	16.5 inches	16 inches

For better traction, the Mustang GTD has larger front tires than the F80 (F:325/30R20 & R:345/30R20 vs. F:285/30R20 & R:345/30R21).

The Mustang GTD has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The F80 doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Mustang GTD’s wheelbase is 2.2 inches longer than on the F80 (107.1 inches vs. 104.9 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Mustang GTD is .9 inches wider in the front and 2.9 inches wider in the rear than on the F80.

The Mustang GTD’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (51% to 49%) than the F80’s (42.2% to 57.8%). This gives the Mustang GTD more stable handling and braking.

The Mustang GTD has a much larger trunk than the F80 (13 vs. 1.2 cubic feet).

The Mustang GTD uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. The F80 uses a prop rod to support its heavy hood. It takes two hands to open the hood and set the prop rod, the prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

The Mustang GTD has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The F80 doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The Mustang GTD’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The F80’s power mirror controls are on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.

The Ford Mustang GTD has a standard Homelink wireless remote control system for garage door operation and device management, conveniently located on the driver’s visor. Homelink® eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries. Ferrari charges extra for Homelink® on the F80.
