Ford’s new GT Following some 10,800 ‘expressions of interest’, Ford received 6,506 fully completed applications from people around the world in the one-month window to apply to purchase its new EcoBoost-powered, carbon-fibre supercar. Almost 200,000 fans also visited www.FordGT.com’s virtual configurator, which lets everyone build the Ford GT of their dreams online. Over 500 fully completed applications were submitted by UK residents.

“We’re excited by the amount of enthusiasm fans are showing for the new Ford GT,”

says Dave Pericak, director, Global Ford Performance.

“This initial application window is just one of many ways fans and potential owners will have to connect with our all-new supercar even before it hits the streets.”

Ford is now reviewing applications from those 6,506 potential supercar buyers and will start notifying potential owners over a 90 day period. The all-new production supercar is expected to start arriving in customers’ garages by the end of this year.
