Investments, that's what there bought for. Very-very few ( maybe 1% ? ) will actually be taken out on a road course & flogged like it was built for.
As far as that Eco-Boost, great platform. That engine can be built for some big & reliable power.
Ford wants to show it off.
Follow Ups:
Ford interviewed prospective owners beforehand. Only folks who would use the cars, race them, or drive them a lot would be allowed to buy one.
So no 'investment' garage queens allowed.
Ford wants to see the cars on the roads.. at the track. Not parked with 230 miles on the odometer after twenty years,
it builds the prestige of the Ford name. When someone goes in to look at a Fusion, or a Mustang, Taurus,or a Focus,or an F150,having that GT supercar that competes with the best on the world stage,is a huge ego elevator for the brand considering the Taurus SHO and F150 use the same basic engine platform in the Ecoboost V6.

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday. There will be a number of cars that will be built solely to compete in the Daytona/Le mans series that I think will be quite successful.
Now, customers come into the show room & the salesperson tells them the car their looking at has the same engine in it that won the 24 hrs of Daytona, OH, where do I sign.
No not really. Unless it was on the NASCAR circuit very few people would know what the salesperson is talking about.
Big smiles.
