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.

I am curious if there are people who submitted an application that plan on selling their allocation if they are awarded one. I would imagine some individuals would be willing to pay a high price for it.

I don't know if there are any controls around the application process or if Ford has considered that to be a possibility.

I read something about required ownership of two years (to prevent flipping), as part of the purchase contract, and Ford probably has first rights to purchase it back.

Too bad Ford will only build 250 per year.
