Exciting news for car enthusiasts and philanthropists alike as the first-ever 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is set to hit the auction block, with all proceeds going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Ford has partnered with Barrett-Jackson, the renowned American vehicle auction house, to bring this special Mustang to auction for a noble cause.
The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, bearing the coveted VIN 001, sports a striking Blue Ember Metallic exterior with a contrasting black roof and Notorious Blue brake callipers, courtesy of the included Appearance package. The interior is equally captivating, featuring a Deep Indigo color scheme with black Recaro seats accented by eye-catching blue details. Technological advancements are not overlooked, with a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch infotainment system enhancing the driving experience.
Under the hood, the Mustang Dark Horse is powered by a reworked fourth-generation 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine, delivering an impressive 373 kW and 566 Nm of torque. A six-speed manual transmission with a transmission oil cooler ensures a smooth and exhilarating driving experience. Furthermore, the Handling package, which comes standard with this special edition, includes a retuned suspension, magnetic dampers, and 19-inch dark-finished wheels for superior grip and agility.
Car enthusiasts and philanthropists alike will have the opportunity to bid on this one-of-a-kind Mustang at the auction on January 27th, with 100% of the proceeds directly benefiting the JDRF. As a leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research, the JDRF’s mission is to prevent, treat, and eventually cure this chronic disease. With the previous auction of a 2024 Mustang GT fetching US$490,000 (NZ$785k) and additional donations bringing the total raised for the JDRF to a staggering US$565,000 (NZ$905k), the anticipation for the auction of the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse is high.
Combining high-performance attributes, exclusivity, and a noble cause, the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse is expected to attract serious bids and make a significant contribution to the fight against type 1 diabetes. The auction presents a unique opportunity for a passionate individual to own the first-ever Mustang Dark Horse while making a difference in the lives of millions affected by this chronic disease.
