A German man watched $450,000 go up in flames over the weekend when his Ford GT caught fire, but he and his son escaped without harm.The car had been driven just 43 miles since new, and is owned by a 52-year-old who lives nearby, according to local media. A Ford spokesman said that the automaker is working with the car owner to determine the cause of the fire.

Damn, that sucks.. At least they got out.
Would still drive.
At least they didn’t get hurt. But I’d be one pissed off mofo if my 450 grand supercar with 43 miles burned up.
Pick your poison.

With such a low number of cars scheduled to be built and all spoken for, I wonder how the insurance claim will work? Will Ford build extra GT's, or is production capped and final?
If this ends up being some sort of part failure, I could see this turning into a full on recall.

That is just ugly, but at least they got out ok. Is that the first new FGT to be totalled?
A check will be written. End of story.

I figured. Not being able to replace the car would stink. I guess that's a 1st world problem lol.
I wonder if it actually sounded like a V8 with all of the pops and crackles while on fire?
As GTS brought up all NFGT to be built are already sold. You can’t simply purchase a new one.
Will Ford build one more for this loss?
@DBK any idea what ford will do?
Wow that stinks.
That'll buff out
