"Ford says it has received 6 506 completed applications from parties interested in buying a new Ford GT.
The automaker took the applications during a one-month window.
Ford says the number of applicants spiked in the final six days of the period, during which 32% of the total applications were completed. Since there are no plans to produce right-hand-drive versions of the 450 kW Ford GT, it’s likely none of those were from South Africa.
“We’re excited by the amount of enthusiasm fans are showing for the new Ford GT,” said Dave Pericak, director, Global Ford Performance.
“This initial application window is just one of many ways fans and potential owners will have to connect with our all-new supercar even before it hits the streets,” he added.
Ford says it is now reviewing applications from those 6 506 parties, with a plan to start notifying potential owners in the next 90 days. This initial application period covers some 500 cars, or around two years of production.
First deliveries of the new supercar – which makes use of a 3,5-litre EcoBoost V6 engine – are expected towards the end of 2016."
