Ford plans to auction the first 2015 Mustang GT in a bid to raise money for diabetes research. The vehicle will be auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction scheduled to take place in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 18.
With people bidding for the car, the money earned from this sale will be handed over to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This institute is a global organization which funds type 1 diabetes research.
This vehicle can be ordered by the auction winner with customisations to the exterior as well as interiors. The Mustang GT is powered by a 5.0-litre V8 engine that churns out more than 420 bhp and 528 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via six-speed manual gearbox.
Steve Ling, Ford North America Car Marketing Manager, said, "We’re kicking off the next 50 years of Mustang in style with a 2015 model featuring a sleek all-new design, world-class performance and innovative technologies. We’re thrilled to be able to take advantage of Mustang’s popularity to help achieve the dream of ending juvenile diabetes.”
