Those buyers lucky enough to be hand picked by Ford will then work with the newly minted Ford GT Concierge Service.
Ford has officially begun taking orders for its all-new GTsuper car.
As you might expected, buying a GT isn't exactly the same process as strolling down to your local dealer to buy a Mustang GT. Rather than an open order book, Ford is actually taking applications from those interested in buying the GT. Ford will review those applications before deciding which customers are worthy of GT ownership.
Those buyers lucky enough to be hand picked by Ford will then work with the newly minted Ford GT Concierge Service. Through the the Ford GT Concierge Service buyers will be able to tailor their super car to their specific tastes.
"The purchase process for the Ford GT is as unique as our all-new supercar," said Henry Ford III, global marketing manager, Ford Performance. "We understand GT customers are strong ambassadors for Ford Motor Company, and we look forward to providing them a service as distinct as the car itself."
The current application process covers the first two years of GT production -- 500 units in total. Ford has not said if it will change the ordering process for the GT after the first two model years, or if there are any plans to boost production beyond 250 units per year. Exact pricing has not been announced, but Ford says the GT will carry an MSRP in the mid-$400,000 range.
Those without a spare half-million burning a hole in their pocket can still design their dream GT in the virtual world. Ford's online GT configurator is now live and offers window shoppers the ability to design their very own GT, right down to wheel and stripe colors.
