Production of the Ford GT will be extended by approximately two years to try to meet the overwhelming customer demand for the supercar, which has outstripped supply six-to-one. Ford will re-open the application window to customers in selected markets, for one month, beginning November 8, delivering approximately 1,350 Ford GTs for customers worldwide. Prospective owners will be able to submit their applications at FordGT.com, and successful applicants will work with the Ford GT Concierge Service for a personalised purchase experience.

“The response to our Ford GT has been unprecedented, with demand outstripping supply more than six-to-one,” said Hermann Salenbauch, director, Ford Performance. “By extending the Ford GT production run for a limited period, we’re able to maintain the exclusivity of the ultra-desirable supercar while offering the ownership experience to a greater number of customers.”

Production of the Ford GT, by Multimatic in Markham, Ontario, began in December 2016, following the announcement of a limited run of 1,000 vehicles across four years. Powered by a 647 hp twin-turbocharged, 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine, the Ford GT’s carbon fibre architecture and active aerodynamics help it to achieve a top speed of 347 km/h or 216 mph.
