Ford’s new Mustang GTD road racer could be the most exclusive pony car ever built. Money alone isn’t enough to secure the $US325,000 ($505,000) hardcore coupe, with Ford asking potential buyers to make a pitch on why they should have the privilege of owning one.

Exotics and others have been doing this for years. You could walk into a Ferrari dealer with enough cash to buy one and you would get turned down if it’s a new or exclusive model.
Heck even buying a used one is difficult.
Ford will likely be expecting potential buyers to also buy a number of other high-margin vehicles as a prerequisite to further squeeze the market.
Ferrari does basically this since forever. And their cars are shit quality as well!
You probably need to proove to them that youre a fucking duche bag thats gonna set the exhaust to laudest, deploy the spoiler and never go past second gear in the city center revving to 5k RPM going 200m between lights. To impress pedestrians of course.
I had a landlord who had to go through this for the newest ford gt. He did have enough of a social media presence and had to add his son to the application.
There were all kinds of requirements and restrictions to owning the car
These dealers are doing this beacause rich people are putting up with it, sincerly even if I had the extra money to own one of these cars that you have to buy others to get it, I would never buy them.
