Ford building 350 more GT supercars

-

Ford 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.

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-litre EcoBoost V6 engine and featuring a carbon fibre architectu­re, active aerodynami­cs and 216 mph top speed – began in December 2016.
