BRENTWOOD, Essex, May 13, 2016 – After more than 10,800 people showed interest online in buying a new #fordgt, #ford received 6,506 fully completed applications from people around the world – including over 500 from the UK market alone – in the one-month window to apply to purchase the new EcoBoost-powered, carbon-fibre supercar during its first application window.

The number of applicants spiked in the last six days, during which 32 per cent of the total fully completed applications were completed before the window closed.

“We’re excited by the amount of enthusiasm fans are showing for the new #fordgt,” says 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.”

Ford is now reviewing applications from those 6,506 potential supercar buyers and will start notifying potential owners in the next 90 days.

Hundreds of registrants submitted videos with their applications during the month-long application window, hoping to bolster their chances of purchasing one of the first 500 new #ford GTs.

Creative applicants featured children, lighting effects, racing footage, revving engines, garage tours and life stories to show why they should own the all-new #fordgt.

The all-new production supercar is expected to start arriving in customers’ garages by the end of 2016.

While the initial application window is closed, #fordgt fans can continue building and sharing virtual models atwww.FordGT.com.
