Ford Helps Students Take Flight with 2015 Mustang Apollo Edition - J.D. Power Autos (blog)
Ford has combined Mustang sports car muscle with inspiration from NASA's Apollo space program to build a single 2015 Apollo Edition Mustang that will be auctioned off this month at an annual air show event in Oshkosh, WI, to raise funds for youth... A one-of-a-kind glossy two-tone white and black painted model, based on a fastback 2015 Ford Mustang GT, the Apollo Mustang is powered by a 5. 0-liter engine that generates 627 horsepower and 540 lb. -ft. of torque. Configured to appeal to auto enthusiasts and collectors, Ford's design and engineering teams have enhanced the commemorative model with a Ford Performance supercharger and shifter. This is the eighth straight year that Ford has donated a U. S. aviation-inspired Mustang to be auctioned by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) aviation enthusiasts group at their annual event in Oshkosh. Proceeds will be used to support EAA youth education programs, including the Young Eagles, which has provided free introductory flights to more than 1. 9 million young people since 1992 to help generate interest in engineering, aviation, science,... Ford's seven prior custom Mustang donations have raised nearly $3 million for the organization. Source: www.jdpower.com
