You now have a slightly better chance of buying a Ford GT

When Ford opened apps for people wanting to buy the new Supercar GThe has received an impressive 6,500 entries. Which is a shame because Ford was planning to build only 1,000 GT over four years, from December 2016 to 2020. Today, however, during a presentation in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford has confirmed the construction of some additional GTs. provided that.

From 2020 to 2022, another 350 Ford GT will come out of the Multimatic factory in Canada, responsible for the assembly of the car. This is a small addition in gross terms, although an increase of 35% in the production of a car is not to be feared, especially when it is a problem. 39, an extreme low volume model like the GT.

Hermann Salenbauch, director of the Ford Performance range of vehicles, dismisses fears that collectors fear that their limited edition car will not be so limited: "This will not make the car's exclusivity disappear", a- he declared.

As for the first time, interested buyers will have to submit a long application in order to be selected for a niche to buy a Ford GT. Why not just offer the 350 cars to some of these initial candidates? "We wanted to open some," said Salenbauch. However, previous WG candidates who resubmit their previous application will be "strongly considered".

The application process opens on November 8 and will last 30 days. If you are selected, you do not have to pay any down payment or money to keep your seat, but you may not receive your car until 2022. You will not know either. price to pay before you can set up your car. close to its date of construction. Ford now says the starting price is estimated at "nearly $ 500,000" before the options.

One of the reasons for the slow deployment is that Multimatic can only build one GT a day. The company is now on track to produce 250 GT per year, although in the first year only 141 were built, with Ford and Multimatic developing optimal production mechanisms. Salenbauch says that the construction of the GT carbon fiber is very complicated, resulting in low production volumes.
