Multimatic Inc., the Canadian supplier that builds the Ford GT, hit only 55 per cent of its production target for the 2017 model year, although it still plans to complete every order for the US$450,000 supercar.
The company built 138 GTs, well short of the 250 that were expected, Ford confirmed this week, citing minor supplier problems and Multimatic's inexperience with the scale of the project.
"This is a hand-built supercar, which we are committed to deliver flawlessly," a Ford spokesman said in a statement. "We built into our process an extended ramp-up due to several factors such as global homologation testing and supplier constraints."
