Ford Now Accepting Applications for New GT Supercar

Ford GT Supercar

The new Ford GT for sale is one of the latest additions to the Ford Performance lineup. It’s also ripe for the picking, so if you want to get your hands on this hot new model, you’ll need to act fast.

The automaker is now accepting applications for its high-performance vehicle. The initial ordering period covers the first two years of production. And since the GT is limited to 250 units per year, only 500 people will have the chance to own the model.

The application process is designed to identify Ford GT owners who will “celebrate the brand,” the manufacturer reported. In other words, they are looking for brand enthusiasts or ambassadors who will not only use the car, but who will really appreciate it as well.

If your application is accepted, a Ford GT Concierge will contact you and guide you through the entire purchasing process in order to offer a more personalized experience.

Ford’s rear-wheel drive supercar was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show last January featuring a sleek and sporty two-door coupe body and a mid-mounted EcoBoost engine that’s good for 600-plus horsepower. The 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 unit is considered to be the most powerful EcoBoost production engine ever, according to Ford.

Horsepower figures aside, the GT also benefits from a lightweight carbon fiber construction that helps keep the car’s weight to a minimum. Reducing the vehicle’s mass can be very advantageous for the driver, as it helps improve the GT’s acceleration, handling, braking, and efficiency.

In terms of feature goodies, the supercar comes with a deployable rear spoiler and 20-inch wheels paired with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires. You’ll have to swing the doors upward to enter the cockpit, where you will find an F1-style steering wheel, paddle-shift controls, and a digital (and configurable) instrument cluster. The automaker’s SYNC3 connectivity system will be among the many technology features that will be offered with the new vehicle, according to Ford.

You can check out the car on FordGT.com and built your own virtual model. The website allows you to choose between a number of combinations. The vehicle will come available in eight exterior colors that can be paired with one of several stripe colors. You can also select different wheel and interior options. 

Production of the new supercar is slated to begin later this year. As for the cost, expect the GT’s starting price to hover somewhere around the mid-$400,000s.
