Ford Performance is adding two more years of production for the all-new
carbon fiber Ford GT supercar. The announcement comes on the heels of
letters sent to potential customers notifying them of their application
status to purchase one of their own, with more than 500 of those coming from
the UK alone.

The additional production supports the decision by Ford Performance to race
Ford GT in both IMSA and World Endurance Championship (WEC) series events
for four years, extending through to the 2019 season.

"While we can't build enough Ford GTs for everyone who has applied, we are
going to produce additional vehicles in an effort to satisfy more of our
most loyal Ford ambassadors," says Dave Pericak, global director, Ford
Performance. "We want to keep Ford GT exclusive, but at the same time we
know how vital this customer is to our brand."

 

Year three of production will support applicants who were placed on the
waiting list; previously deferred applicants and those who missed the
initial application window will be served by production year four. The
application process for fourth-year production will reopen in early 2018.
Those who already applied to own the car will only need to update their
request.

"Ford GT has racing in its blood," says Raj Nair, Ford executive vice
president, product development, and chief technical officer. "The road car
and race car will live on, side-by-side, for the next four years - providing
ample opportunity to test and prove innovative new technologies both on and
off the track."
