Ford has been donating cars to JDRF, which fights
against Type 1 diabetes, for nearly a decade. The latest vehicle that will help
raise money for the good cause is none other than the 2020 Mustang Shelby
GT500. The muscle car will be raffled at the annual fundraiser, where the
two companies are aiming to sell 75,000 tickets. The drawing will be held at
the Ford Conference and Event Center in Dearborn, Michigan, on November 14, and
the winner doesn’t have to be present.
To participate, you’ll have to buy a US$ 10 ticket to
the raffle. While the winner will be rewarded with the most exciting Mustang
ever made, the second place will get an all-inclusive VIP race experience for
two at the 2020 Daytona 500.
As for the Shelby GT500 in question, it sports a
unique Venom metallic clearcoat, a charcoal color adorned by the black racing
stripes. It rides on exposed carbon fiber wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport
Cup 2 tires, and also comes with the Carbon Fiber Track Package, Mustang GT4
track wing and leather seats.
Like all GT500s, it’s powered by a 5.2-liter
supercharged V8 rated at 760 HP and 847 Nm of torque that’s coupled
to a 7-speed DCT.
