First 2015 Ford Mustang GT all set for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Ford is planning a very special event to sell its first 2015 Ford Mustang GT as it is going to auction it at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. Slated to go under hammer on January 18, 2014, the next gen Ford Mustang sports a 5.0-liter V8 engine that has the capability to churn out a mammoth power of around 420bhp and a peak torque of around 528Nm.

The winning bidder and so-called owner of the car is privileged to order it with any kind of interior, exterior and stripe combination, depending upon his choice. The reason for the auction being that all the money gathered would be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation which is a leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research.

According to Ford North America Car Marketing Manager Steve Ling, "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.”
