To aid the fight against diabetes, #Ford is bringing the most powerful #mustanggt ever to Barrett-Jackson’s annual auction in #Scottsdale, Arizona.
The all-new, seventh-generation 2024 #mustanggt with VIN 001 will be auctioned off on Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. MST. All sales proceeds will benefit JDRF, the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization whose mission is to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.
“Ford has a long tradition of supporting charities through the Barrett-Jackson auction, and we’re proud to offer the all-new #mustanggt to support worthy causes like juvenile diabetes research,” said Mustang Marketing Manager #jimowens. “This seventh generation is our most powerful #mustanggt yet, and the winning bidder will not only support a good cause but also become the owner of the first #mustanggt.”
This marks three generations of VIN 001 Mustang vehicles to be auctioned for charity at Barrett-Jackson, also joining the ranks of recent prized ponies like the Mustang Shelby GT500, Mustang Mach 1 and Mustang Bullitt.
Mustang GT sports head-turning #design inside and out, from a modern chiseled exterior that nods to the 1960s original to a driver-centric digital cockpit that features two large customizable digital displays with real-time rendered 3D graphics.
The all-new 2024 #mustanggt redefines driving freedom with its most powerful 5.0-liter Coyote V8 ever – an engine that delivers up to 486 horsepower and 418 lb.-ft. of torque*, thanks to a new dual air intake and throttle body #design with an available active-valve performance exhaust system**. It can be connected to a rev-matching six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic.
The #mustanggt is available with an optional Performance Pack, which adds a host of track-focused features like Recaro® seats and active exhaust. The drive modes combined with fine-tuned digital engine, suspension and steering controls allow drivers to enjoy peak performance everywhere, from their favorite roads to their local track. The electronic drift brake unlocks the rear-wheel-drive drifting capability of the Mustang, which can help novices learn to drift on the track.
The winning bidder can choose from any standard #Ford #mustanggt fastback option, including two transmission types, 11 exterior colors, an all-new lineup of alloy wheels ranging from 18 to 20 inches and Brembo brake calipers that come in three colors: Black, Red and Grabber Blue. They can also choose from available interior packages and the above-mentioned Performance Pack. For more information, visit the Barrett-Jackson website.
*Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAE J1349® standard. Your results may vary. Horsepower and torque are independent attributes and may not be achieved simultaneously.
**486 HP can be achieved on Mustang® GT models equipped with Active Valve dual exhaust.
