Half of the units will be shipped abroad, leaving just 100 cars for Ford’s thousands of US dealers to fight over, an unnamed source has told Autoweek. In fact, prospective buyers will reportedly be required to complete a screening process managed by Ford and pick the dealer location for pickup.
The company is expected to give priority to Ford loyalists and anyone who already owns a GT. Of course, buyers must have the financial means to purchase the $400,000 supercar.
The production numbers are far below the previous generation, which tallied 1,500 units annually between 2004 and 2006. Even adjusted for inflation, the latest GT costs more than twice as much as its predecessor.
It is unclear if Ford plans to ramp up GT production in 2017 to better meet anticipated demand.
