Applicants and fans of the GT can rejoice as Ford is adding two more years of production for the all-new carbon fiber supercar. The announcement comes on the heels of letters sent to potential customers notifying them of their application status to purchase the car.
The additional production supports the recent decision by Ford Performance to race the GT in both IMSA and World Endurance Championship (WEC) series events for four years.
"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," said Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance. "We want to keep the 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 wait 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.
