Is Ford limiting GT350 supply to generate demand like Porsche RS brand?

Ford could sell these in UK for £80k plus I would say, if they limited supply. Then it goes toe to toe with Evora 410, M3 CS & Cayman GT4.
If it was my £80k I would find it hard to walk past an Evora 410 to a Ford Mustang, even a very special one.

Those carbon wheels might work in the US but UKs best pot holes would destroy them, and that's before my wife has had a chance to attack the nearest kerb!!
Then I guess the wheels need to be junked.

I'm sure the US has far worse potholes than in the UK, especially in the NE.

From the original news item;

"They're more compact and they rev higher, which means they're ideal for cars that are going to be driven at the limit and flung through corners."

Errr, Flat plane V8's are more compact? Huh? How does that work?

The MRSP is $67K, but you will need to pay a hefty dealer markup to get a GT350R, and need to add sales tax in the USA, usually around 8%, but there are dodges, then 10% duty and 20% VAT on importation to the UK. Think more like £110K here with freight and IVA conversion costs.

I was thinking more along the lines of Ford themselves selling these, not private import.

A bit of thread revival here, just found Hennessey now fit a Supercharger which means 787bhp at the wheels!!!! & again just listen to that Voodoo motor.

Just a casual morning at my local Cars and Coffee..

My 50th GT, next to a GT 350..
Mine is lowered, but somehow looks much smaller than the 350 in this picture.



Then up rolls a GT350R.. we all have dreams, even when you live over here..
