Ford GT for sale in Canada
Kinda old news, but didn't think it was posted
TORONTO, Ont., July 7, 2005 – For the first time, the Ford GT supercar will be available for sale in Canada, Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd., announced today. Race fans can catch their first glimpse of the incredible 550-horsepower Ford GT in action at the Canadian Champ Car World Series races in Toronto (July 10), Edmonton (July 17) and Montréal (August 28 ).
"It is the ultimate legend, a true supercar that represents great moments from our past while signaling an exciting path to our future," said Joe Hinrichs, president and CEO, Ford of Canada. "Ever since the Ford GT40 concept car was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in 2002, requests from Canadian car enthusiasts have been overwhelming. Now their dreams have come true."
Ford of Canada will offer 200 unique, limited production Canadian cars for sale during the 2006 model year after working with Markham, Ont.-based automotive supplier Multimatic Inc. to customize the vehicle to Canadian standards.
“Multimatic is extremely pleased to be working with Ford of Canada to bring one of the world’s best supercars to Canadians. Having worked with Ford on the original development of the Ford GT concept vehicles, it is great to see that our partnership will bring this exclusive car to Canada,” said Hao Wang, assistant general manager, Multimatic Technical Centre. Multimatic supplies components, systems and engineering services to the global automotive industry and has operating divisions in North America and Europe with partners in Asia, South America and Australia.
Canadians will have an opportunity to check out the Ford GT, now that it has been named the official pace car of the Champ Car World Series races in Canada , which features some of the greatest race car drivers in the world, including Paul Tracy, Alex Tagliani and Andrew Ranger.
"Ford has been a long-time supporter of the Champ Car World Series and we’re pleased to forge a new partnership with them in Canada ," said David Greenberg, vice president, general marketing, Ford of Canada. "Champ Car has been expanding the series internationally and now will be bringing high-profile events to race fans in three Canadian cities."
