Ford has announced that it\u2019s adding two more years of production for it\u2019s all new carbon fibre GT supercar. The announcement follows on from letters being sent to potential customers notifying them of their application status to purchase the car.<\/p>\n
The additional production supports the recent decision by Ford Performance to race Ford GT in both IMSA and World Endurance Championship (WEC) series events for four years.<\/p>\n
Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance said;<\/p>\n
While we can\u2019t build enough Ford GTs for everyone who has applied, we are going to produce additional vehicles in an effort to satisfy more of our most loyal Ford ambassadors. We want to keep Ford GT exclusive, but at the same time we know how vital this customer is to our brand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Year three of production will support applicants who were placed on the wait list; previously deferred applicants and those who missed the initial application window will be served by production year four. The application process for fourth-year production will reopen in early 2018. Those who already applied to own the car will only need to update their request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
