Dearborn, Mich., Oct. 18, 2018 – Ford
Motor Company is increasing Ford GT production to 1,350 vehicles after
more than 6,500 applicants raced to sign up for the original 1,000 cars
allotted in 2016 – even before the car recaptured LeMans glory later that
year.
“The response to our Ford GT has been unprecedented, with initial demand
outstripping supply by more than six-to-one,” said Hermann Salenbauch,
Ford Performance director. “By extending the Ford GT production run for a
limited period, we’re able to maintain the exclusivity of the
ultra-desirable supercar while offering the ownership experience to a
greater number of customers.”
Ford is re-opening the application window to customers hoping to join the
exclusive group of Ford GT owners starting Nov. 8 for select global
markets. Prospective owners will be able to submit their applications for
30 days at FordGT.com.
Successful applicants will work with the Ford GT Concierge Service for a
personalized purchase experience of cars produced in the 2020 to 2022
calendar years.
Production of the Ford GT – powered by a twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter
EcoBoost V6 engine and featuring a carbon fiber architecture, active
aerodynamics and 216 mph top speed – began in December 2016.
