Robert Downey Jr, popularly known for his big-screen persona Marvel’s ‘Iron Man’ is a petrolhead, but as an environment-friendly person he has been modifying his car collection towards hybrid and electric vehicles.
Actor, producer, and FootPrint Coalition Founder, Robert Downey Jr., alongside a team of experts, have modified 6 classic cars from his personal collection to make them more eco-friendly and reduce their carbon footprint, which can now be owned by few lucky winners.
The six iconic cars are being given away in one-year sweepstakes started from Friday, June 16. The proceeds will benefit Downey’s FootPrint Coalition, a nonprofit organisation focused on the adoption of technologies that will advance human systems toward a cleaner environment.
The six classic vehicles available for grabs include –
Robert Downey Jr said, “Making Downey’s Dream Cars come true with Max was an education and a blast. Keeping these transformed classic vehicles for my own personal enjoyment would be a missed opportunity. All proceeds from the sweepstakes will go towards funding FootPrint Coalition’s nonprofit organisation.”
Rachel Kropa, FootPrint Coalition’s Managing Director of Nonprofit + Science said, “The goal of this yearlong sweepstakes is to raise significant funding to help environmental technologies to take hold in a more systemic way. There are a ton of dedicated folks working on the sweepstakes and featured in this show, and they’re only a tiny fraction of the millions of people who are actively volunteering their skills in restoring the planet. Our job is a race to curate the solutions that can change human systems in the timeliest manner – from research to rollout to new normal.”
