Nair said: "When we kicked off 2016, we had two primary objectives for our Ford GT supercar - to excel at Le Mans, and to start deliveries before year-end, we've achieved both."
He added: "For everyone involved in designing and developing this car, including all of our employees and suppliers, this is a moment to celebrate.
