The new Ford GT is shaping up to be one of the greatest American supercars ever created. That being said, it’s also shaping up to be a very, very rare American supercar.

According to a September 22 article from Autoweek.com, one of their sources announced that only 200 examples of the 2017 Ford GT will be created in total for the car’s initial model year. What’s more, 100 will be exclusively for the United States. With such low production numbers, the reported $400,000 price tag makes even more sense now.

Who will get a chance to buy a Ford GT? Autoweek reports that buyers will have to apply for the ability to purchase the car. Once selected, they will have to decide which Ford dealer will take delivery of the supercar. This process seems similar to the ones used by exotic car manufacturers of Europe, like Ferrari and Lamborghini, for their special edition models.

What do you, our readers, think of these production numbers? Should there be more? Fewer? Is the price worth it? Let us know in the comments section below.
