Ford is donating the first publicly available version of the highly anticipated Falcon XR8 Sprint – one of the most powerful and high-tech Falcon’s ever – to fund local innovation for the JDRF Artificial Pancreas Project, which is exploring how to automate insulin pumps and deliver improved therapies and ultimately a ‘technological cure’ for type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The auction of the vehicle will run from May 7 through midnight on May 31, 2016. The specific vehicle will be a six-speed manual in ‘Winter White’ colour.
