Nope, it’s not about the turbo’s. Not now.

As already announced builds Ford only 250 copies of the new GT per year. Is something to be said for that, because with a (Dutch) price of 550,000 euros will be supercar not much seen cart on the parking lot of the local Ap. Although…

According to The Blue Oval have in the meantime already 7,000 people have indicated that they are such a GT seriously. Bit sour, because if that number is correct will the Americans, on the basis of the current production planning – their supersporter a whopping 28 years to build. No, that’s not going to happen, but it shows how popular the American supercar already is.

Then that bit about the link with the Ferrari F40. Would initially 400 units to be built, but due to the huge demand for perhaps the most brutal street legal Ferrari ever had eventually 1.311 copies of the factory in Maranello. And you bet that the majority of buyers, many more have paid for their F40 than the 400,000 USD that the official price was communicated.

Long story short: the chance that the prices of the Ford GT also on the head will go and that Ford production numbers still opschroeft, seems quite real. Moreover, given the supercar a twinturbo 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost, à 600 hp.
