Unless someone really loves you and that someone has really, really deep pockets, the only other way to get a new Ford GT for free is to visit the brand’s Detroit Auto Show stand next month.
In case you missed it in the title, we’re talking about a scale model signed by Ford. The upcoming supercar was shrunken for marketing purposes and will be offered, as a snap kit model for free to kids visiting the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).
“Our annual Revell Make ‘n Take model kit program has become a fun-filled auto show tradition. Letting kids build their own Ford GT is a great way to introduce them to the Ford brand and create new enthusiasts“, said the Ford Licensing Manager, Mark Bentley.
The kit that is aimed towards the small visitors of the show includes 14 pieces that can be put together in just a few minutes. Each model comes with a unique auto show stamp on the bottom, to highlight its special edition role.
The initial free kit will be followed by a retail one, which has 28 pieces and takes 10 to 15 minutes to build. This will cost $14,99 and it “will be widely available for purchase“, through online stores and retailers, starting in April.
Snap kits for auto shows and for retail have been built by Ford, with the Illinois-based Revell, since 2013, and the licensing agreement kicked off with a Mustang, which was followed by a Raptor.
