Not into the sun, but into an orbit around Earth and Mars.

"Musk's vehicle won’t be going to Mars, or even orbit around Mars. In fact, it could be several million miles away from the Red Planet. Rather, this launch would put the car into the kind of orbital loop that brings it close to Mars and Earth over and over again."
And it will potentially remain in orbit for millions of years.
