The Ford Mustang Mach 1 They returned this year after 17 years of absence. The car is one of the high-performance Mustangs. Like the first model in 1969, it bridges the gap between the GT and Shelby in terms of performance and price. A few weeks before its arrival this spring, the car is benefiting from some last-minute changes.
Nothing is significant in the facts, but Ford has made sure to make some minor modifications to the car compared to the previously revealed model. This is very rare in Ford, but it seems that these changes are the result of feedback from fans of the model after its introduction. The Mustang Mach 1 design team got started and kept tuning the car until production began at Ford’s Flat Rock plant in Michigan.
The changes are still very subtle and will likely go unnoticed to an untrained observer. However, according to Ford, enthusiasts will appreciate the added attention to detail on the car. From the lot we find:
monogram : This modern take on the classic Mach 1 logo has been updated with silver edges that allow the monogram to look better against the dark exterior paint.
Bottom grid The team changed the bottom grille color from magnetic gray to low-gloss black to give it a more serious look on the front end of the vehicle, according to Collard, Senior Manager – Advanced Design.
Fillet on the wing : The overall shape of the front end of the grille has been improved to improve production quality and processing.
Like the Mustang Bullit, the Mach 1 offers a single engine, a 5.0-liter V8 that develops 480 horsepower and produces 420 lb-ft of torque. The Mach 1 features above all premium setups and parts taken from the Shelby GT350 and GT500 that aim to enhance its behavior on the track. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a Ford Performance 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic transmission.
The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach1 will be available in limited quantities in late spring; Its base price will be $ 65,500.
