The two-door high-performance coupe, which was
unveiled last month at the Detroit auto show and set for
availability in late 2016, will be built in partnership with
privately held contract manufacturer, Multimatic Inc.
Ford had previously partnered with Multimatic to produce its
FR500c and Boss 302R race cars, Executive Vice President Joe
Hinrichs said at the Toronto auto show.
Multimatic, located just north of Toronto, specializes in
lightweight composite automotive technology, according to the
company's website. The lightweight carbon fiber material reduces
the weight of the car, which improves the vehicle's performance
and efficiency.
Supercars are typically very expensive, high-performance sports
cars and are produced in extremely limited quantities.
Ford did not provide additional details.
