The Ford GT has proven it will sell out regardless of "retail price". Just give it POWER.
It's easy for a name company to sell a half million dollar car when you hype it with influencers and limit production. You can tell the real fans of the marque they are the ones willing to put a million dollar profit into the pockets of some millenial who held the car for 2 years.
There are also rumors they are working on the current Ford GT as a hybrid and that a detuned hybrid package with the Ford GT engine will be the top power package in the next gen Mustang.
I suspect we seeing the last of the GT500 - Ford is now offering the GT500 engine as a crate motor which tells me they are overstocked for their production and warranty needs. I wonder if Shelby American will offer a 1000 hp upgrade.
