2017 Ford GT

The 2017 Ford GT is real, and it’s spectacular. Unfortunately, some of those deemed worthy of becoming owners are having to wait to find out just how spectacular, as deliveries of the supercar have been delayed.

While the Blue Oval has delivered a handful of its mid-engine supercars to owners, Ford is delaying shipment of some GTs as a result of supplier constraints and global homologation issues. Although a Ford spokesperson was unable specify what suppliers or markets are contributing to the delay, the company did share in a written statement that the holdup is part of “an extended ramp up” that was built into the 647-hp supercar’s production plans.

Ford plans to produce a total of 250 GTs this year, with an additional 750 GTs earmarked for production through 2020. With a base price of $453,750, the hand-built 2017 GT is a pricey piece. Still, if driving the twin-turbocharged V-6 supercar around Utah Motorsports Campus taught us anything, it’s that the 2017 GT is worth every penny of its asking price. Trust us, the GT is one car that’s worth the wait.
