Final FPV almost sold out

Ford says its finest – and final – FPV model is all but a sell-out, with several dealers already sold out of their GT F allocations.

The Blue Oval last month announced the name and price ($77,990 plus on-road costs) for the limited-edition GT F but is yet to reveal the actual car or its peformance figures.

Motoring.com.au understands both vital pieces of the puzzle will slot into place next week, when Ford will reveal a teaser image of the GT F and its power output, which is expected to be 351kW.

For now, unsurprisingly, Ford has revealed that many of the 500 examples to be built (plus 50 for New Zealand) are already spoken for, following strong demand for the individually numbered special-edition.

Ford says many diehard FPV customers have put down deposits to secure a specific build number, including 007, 011, 022, 040, 075, 077, 017, 101, 117, 192, 300 and 302.

Some FPV customers have ordered numbers that correspond to the build numbers in their Ford car collections.

One collector with a stable of Falcon GTs and anniversary GTs – all build number 40 – has requested build 40 of the GT F sedan. Another customer owns a classic XY Falcon GT with the build number 75 and has requested the corresponding build number for the GT F sedan.

Ford said that of the deposits and expressions of interest, there was skew towards manual versions

One dealership that has sold out of its GT F allocation of 12 vehicles has already turned away six prospective customers. The same dealer has sold three of its four Pursuit utes, 120 of which will be priced at $52,990 plus ORCs.

Motoring.com.au understands there has been strong demand for both final FPV models -- and next year's new Mustang -- in Queensland.
