Default Ford Donates Limited-Edition Falcon XR8 Sprint to JDRF to Auction

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.

To learn more about the Falcon XR8 Sprint online auction, visit https://galabid.com/auction/ford/item/77411.

Proceeds raised by the auction will support JDRF’s innovative Artificial Pancreas Program aimed to decrease the burden of T1D.

Falcon Sprint Series development and innovation
Ford’s Asia-Pacific Product Development team based in Melbourne developed the limited-edition, high-performance XR6 Sprint and XR8 Sprint series sedans. The vehicles sold out in a matter of weeks after being revealed.

The vehicles feature significant suspension improvements and high-performance tyres to match the vehicles’ dynamic capability.
