Ford GT gets 6500 orders for 500 cars
US car-maker says it could have sold 10 times the number of GT supercars it plans to buildFord has announced it has received 10,800 expressions of interest and 6506 official orders for its 450kW-plus supercar designed by Australian Todd Willing.
With production capped at just 500 vehicles over two years, and an unconfirmed price tag rumoured to exceed $600,000, the US car-maker says buyers were so keen to own the GT that ‘hundreds’ even went as far as sending in a short begging video to prove why they deserved the Ford supercar.
This was said to include garage tours, footage of owners racing their fast Fords and even, an introduction to their children.
Ford has announced that it will contact the buyers it deems suitable within the next 90 days to inform the lucky buyers who will be picked for one of the 500 cars.
The buyers will then be invited to spec their car, something more than 200,000 visitors to car-maker’s retail website have already done using the online configurator.
