Gulf Weekly Rare supercar set for online scramble

Customers wanting to own one of the new Ford GT ultra-high-performance supercars can officially submit their applications today at FordGT.com as the marque looks to create a customer-focused experience to select potential owners.

The Ford GT is the most advanced Ford production vehicle ever, featuring the latest in lightweighting, aerodynamics and EcoBoost engine technology and the model acts as an innovation showcase for the brand.

Applicants will have an opportunity to identify their preferred Ford dealership in GT-approved markets and, if approved, will complete their purchase with the help of their dealer and the new Ford GT Concierge Service.

Accepted applicants from around the world will be contacted by the concierge and provided a tailored experience – not only through the ordering and delivery but through years of ownership.

The new Ford GT website also offers a configurator that allows anyone to build a virtual GT and easily share their dream combinations from a number of colour, wheels and interior themes with the world through social media.

For production, eight exterior colours can be paired with one of seven different stripe colours, giving the Ford GT customer many choices to keep their vehicle as unique as they are.

Pricing for the Ford GT is expected to have a starting price of approximately BD150,000 excluding destination and delivery.

The Ford GT will be one of the rarest Ford products ever. Production is limited to 250 units per year, and the initial ordering period will cover the first two years of production.

Henry Ford III, global marketing manager of Ford Performance, said: “The purchase process for the Ford GT is as unique as our new supercar. 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 web-based application process for the first round of applications closes on May 13 at 6.59am. Visit FordGT.com for more details.
