The iconic Mustang Mach 1 is back after 17 years! Mustang enthusiasts are very excited about the opportunity to own a Mach 1 or to add on to their collection, and the 2021 Mustang Mach 1 is a package that is hard to beat.

Similar to the 1969 Mach 1, the 2021 Mach 1 model is placed above the GT line and just below the Shelby GT 350. Offering styling and performance unique to the Mach 1, this may just be the best value in a Mustang you can buy. With limited-edition styling and high-performance options, this is a daily driver track car that can compete with other sports cars much beyond the Mach 1 price point.

The Mach 1’s powerplant is a specially calibrated 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 480 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Mach 1 will get you from standing to 60 miles per hour in a breath over four seconds. The Mach 1 comes standard with a Tremec™ 3160 6-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed SelectShift™ automatic transmission. The huge 15in front-disc brakes will stop you on a dime.

Ford offers many different configurations for the Mach 1. With its custom-styling packages and performance packages, the Mach 1 will definitely become collectible just as the previous models have. Well done, Ford! For more information, visit ford.com. n
