Exclamation 2017 Ford GT Ordering & Order Configurator Now LIVE!

What an absolute stunning Supercar!!!
AT @ $400k, it won't be in everyone's garage. But for my cash, this would be my choice. Love the tech, the looks, stance and dimensions are beyond exotic. The performance will be on par with anything near it's price point.










Quote:
The all-new Ford GT supercar is officially available to order. Ford announced today that it will begin taking order applications for the GT on www.FORDGT.com, a dedicated website that’ll also allow anyone to configure the Blue Oval’s upcoming supercar.

Ford is only accepting 500 orders, which covers the allocation for two years (250 units each year). Official pricing has yet to be announced, but the automaker estimates a starting price of $400,000 before taxes and destination.
Once a potential customer submits their application, they must then select a GT-approved dealership in their area. If that customer is among the lucky 500 selected, they will then go through the Ford GT Concierge Service, which includes a more tailored purchasing process from the dealership. The concierge service will also be available through ownership of the GT.

For now, the GT will be offered with eight paint colors including white, blue, red, and yellow. Ford has already shown off the GT in multiple shades at various auto shows around the world. Customers can also opt for contrasting stripe treatment.

As previously reported, the GT will be powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine that will make at least 600 hp. It’ll be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. A number of Ford GT race cars have been busy testing this past year and four GTs are slated to race at this summer’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.

I was reading something about an application questionnaire. I would like to read the applications. I bet there is some interesting information disclosed.

The one or the blue one or even the yellow one would be the color choice for me. Blue #1 choice hands doen. One think I notice is that it is in the same price range as an aventador. Hard choice in my opinion. But the looks are just Amazing... But the aventador too xD

Was thinking the same thing! I am actually surprised at the lack of interest in here for this magnificent car... Oh well.

I have a thing for historical coloration on cars:

Liquid blue / frozen white stripe / matte carbon aero / silver wheels / red calipers

But if it came in a Gulf livery option ...

Wow...

That's a lot of people ready and willing to drop $450,000 on this "Epic Ford".

http://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/21/f...usauto00000016

Quote:
In barely a week since opening the order books, Ford Performance reports that it already has over 7,000 applications from customers across the world to buy the new GT. The Blue Oval will continue to accept applications through May 12. The company will only take reservations for 500 cars right now, and the selected buyers will likely need to be patient because only 250 GTs will leave the factory each year.

The advantage of Ford's GT application process is that everyone with the estimated $450,000 asking price has a chance to get one. The company will be searching for brand ambassadors who will drive the supercar often. Owners of the last GT from new will be treated preferentially in the decision-making process. People who buy a lot of Ford products, like business owners, will also have some advantage.

Ford will deliver the first GTs before the end of the year. To keep the supercar exclusive and demand high, buyers will sign a contract where they will agree to keep the GT for a certain period of time. The agreement will keep owners from immediately flipping the much-anticipated model for an easy profit.

At least one GT is already has a buyer. In a recent video, Bill Ford says he has an order for the vehicle with serial number one. He promises to drive the supercar often, but we can't imagine Ford Performance would have rejected his application anyway.


MORE THAN 7,000 APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED AT FORDGT.COM

Thanks to all the fans of the all-new Ford GT, with more than 180,000 enthusiasts in the U.S. alone having visited the www.FordGT.com site since its launch last Wednesday. Almost 100,000 U.S. fans -- more than half of all visitors to the site -- have checked out the website's configurator, which lets anyone build the Ford GT of their dreams. The digital tool lets visitors choose the Ford GT exterior colors and stripes, wheel options, types of carbon fiber trim, along with interior themes, and provides links to share images of their virtual build via social media.

The most popular optioned color so far for the all-new Ford GT is Liquid Blue (the same shade that debuted with Ford GT at NAIAS in 2015) followed by Matte Black. The configurator's default exterior color of Frozen White is also proving exceptionally popular.

Globally, Ford has received more than 7,000 applications in less than a week for the opportunity to purchase the stunning new EcoBoost-powered, carbon-fiber supercar, and Ford encourages anyone interested in owning an all-new Ford GT to apply during the application window, open until May 12 via www.FordGT.com.

The app didn't require a deposit so it's hard to actually know how many of those apps are serious buyers.

Agreed.

Reporter's were going through it right away to figure out any extra details and the process.

I'm sure some people tried to break into it too.

And people just screwing around of course.

Yikes! I'm disappointed by how pedestrian the interior is. You'd think they'd have come up with something more interesting than a simple turnstyle nob for the headlights, and a yoga mat style seat cushion.

Also, I hate the electronic gauge in the middle. Here's to hoping this is all concept.

Definitely agree! I like the yoga mat reference haha.
The knob looks similar to that in the trucks and suv's. Hopefully the interior will be as stunning as the exterior.

There is a video on Youtube of a potential buyer going through the application. I wish they would have required a deposit with the application to have more meaning behind the process.
