Ford GTX1 Press Release - End of Production Press release End of the production for the Ford GTX1 It seems true that all good things must come to an end and so it is with the Ford GTX1 concept car that was designed by Kip Ewing of SVT Division for the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas. The car was an instant hit at the show. Plans to build a limited production run of the GTX1 were laid and agreed to between Ford Motor Co. and Genaddi Design Group. Clients could now upgrade their Ford GT Supercars into the GTX1 Roadster version at Genaddi Design Group’s facilities in Green Bay, WI. A limited number of 500 GTX1s, built to the customer’s request, plus an additional 100 SEMA edition cars, built to duplicate the car that appeared at the SEMA show in 2005, were available. Only about 100 GTX1s have been ordered and completed by Genaddi Design Group but like the original run of the Ford GT Supercars, the build cycle for the GTX1 was, and is limited to two years. The GTX1 was made famous by numerous magazines worldwide, countless videos and U-tube shows and even famed car aficionado Jeremy Clarkson of the BBC TV Show Top Gear. He claimed while driving the GTX1 that it was one of the best cars he had ever driven. The GTX1 is listed in the NADA book and is a collectable icon that will increase in value and collectability now and in years to come. The GTX1 is only available for an additional 8 months with orders being taken until August 31st, 2008. If the number is met of 600 units for the build, great, if not the lucky ones that own a GTX1 will see their investment portfolio increase in value by owning one of these rare supercars. Genaddi Design Group will still offer all options to GT owners after August 2008 like their practical products that make ownership of a normal GT more enjoyable. These options include but are not limited to the Butterfly Doors, performance upgrades, chassis stiffener systems and wild interior and exterior color changes and also the trunk option. In the future, nothing will change between Genaddi Design Group and the GT community except the GTX1 will be in the history books. The bell has rung and being late for class on this one will get you an immediate failure as a collector. Sincerely, Mark Gerisch Ford GTX1 Press Release For immediate release Genaddi Design Group, builders of the Ford GTX1, is announcing today, December 15, 2006, that production of the GTX1 will be limited to 500 cars. Each will be custom tailored to the client’s wishes with color and options. Additionally there will be another 100 GTX1 cars produced as the SEMA Edition, which represents the prototype GTX1 as seen at SEMA 2005 in Las Vegas, NV. Each of the 100 SEMA Editions will be finished in Valencia Orange color with Titanium Silver stripes. Included on the SEMA Edition of the GTX1 are; 19x9.5 and 20x12 prototype wheels with Pirelli P-Zero tires, Sparco Racing Seats with silver grommets, a Horsepower Upgrade to 700+HP, Suede Dashboard, Hidden Rear Bumper, Adjustable Shocks, 5.1 Satellite Radio, Carbon Fiber Aero Package, Wilwood 6-piston Calipers and 14-inch Gas Slotted Rotors, the only option will be the B-door upgrade. The cars produced during the run of 500 have a variety of options available to the fortunate owners who choose to upgrade their GT to X1 status, see our web site at www.gtx1.com for a full list of options to build your car. Also included in the 500 GTX1’s are 10 cars to be themed as Pan Americana GTX1’s in racing colors and appointments specially designed by Kip Ewing, the GTX1 designer, in commemoration of the La Carrera Pan Americana Road Race and only available to the South American market. A full history of the GTX1 can be seen at www.GTX1.com. Genaddi Design Group is the company that was commissioned by Ford Motor Co.’s SVT Group to build the GTX1. Owners of the Ford GT are welcome to have their GT upgraded to a GTX1 should they wish. Genaddi Design Group is taking deposits for the production slots immediately. Production will continue at Genaddi’s present facilities until August 2007, at which time new production facilities will be used to complete the limited production run by August of 2008. Introductory pricing for the basic upgrade has been increased from $38,000 to $48,000. The GTX1 is listed in the NADA Guide and the cars are also listed with the Shelby American Automobile Club for collectability. “Turning a super exotic into a phenomenal collector car is equivalent to having the chance to turn back the hands of time and buy a 427 Cobra”, says Mark Gerisch the CEO and Founder of Genaddi Design Group. Gerisch says “with the popularity of the GTX1 and what it does for the true driving experience, there is no reason not to upgrade your GT to the GTX1 if you are a GT owner.” Look for the No. 001 Production GTX1 to be sold at this year's Barrett-Jackson action in Scottsdale with proceeds benefiting charity.
