This morning, Ford issued a press release announcing the close of the initial application window for the all-new EcoBoost-powered, carbon-fiber Ford GT supercar. More than 6,500 people submitted fully completed applications. The number of applications spiked more than 30 percent in the last 6 days.
Hoping to increase their chances of being chosen, hundreds of prospects included videos in their application, featuring everything from children and special effects, to racing footage and garage tours. Ford has begun the review process and will begin notifying potential buyers in the next three months. The first deliveries are expected to begin before the end of the year.
“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.”
