I sent an email to Ford regarding the GT40, this is their response:
Dear Max:
Thank you for contacting Ford Motor Company on 01/26/02. We appreciate
the time you have taken to write us concerning the GT-40.
We are pleased to hear of your interest in the GT-40. It
helps to reaffirm our belief in the importance of exceptional products
and services.
Concept vehicles are intended to gauge the public reaction to new
vehicle innovations. Based on the reaction that a particular vehicle
receives, it may be introduced in some form at a future date.
At this time, there are no immediate plans to include this vehicle in
the current model line-up. However, your feedback is collected and used
in the decision making process for future model years.
For more information regarding Ford's line-up of concept vehicles, we
invite you to visit www.fordvehicles.com and type in the desired vehicle
in the search engine.
The new high-performance concept is inspired by the vehicle that roared
into the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere during the 1960s. The new
GT40 joins Ford's "Living Legends" lineup of production and concept
cars, including the Ford Thunderbird and Mustang, and the Forty-Nine
concept. "GT40 is the ultimate Living Legend," explains J Mays, Ford
vice president of Design. "It's a true supercar with appeal equal to
that of the greatest sports cars in the world, but with the addition of
a heritage no one can match. Essential elements of the original -
including the stunning low profile and mid-mounted American V-8 -
continue in this latest interpretation of the classic." While the new
concept and the original both share the mystique of the GT40 name, they
share not a single dimension. The concept is more than a foot and a half
longer and stands nearly four inches taller. Its new lines draw upon and
refine the best features of GT40 history and express the car's identity
through modern proportion and surface development.
At Ford Motor Company, we consider the satisfaction of our customers as
one of our most important objectives. If you have any other inquiries
or concerns, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to
address them.
Thank you for contacting Ford Motor Company.
Sincerely,
Gavin
