Very few will be built: 250 this year, and 250 next year.

And that's it.

A total of 500 cars, going for over $400,000 a pop.

Lucky owners of the GT, with its low-slung shape, 600-horsepower twin-turbo V6 mid-engine, scissor doors, and flying buttress aerodynamics will be able to choose from a variety of color schemes and can even add racing stripes.
