Classic American|December 2020
The limited-edition, high-performance Ford Mustang Mach 1 will be available to customers in Europe for the first time ever. Making its European debut at Goodwood SpeedWeek in front of a global virtual audience, the Mustang Mach 1 is claimed to be the best-handling production Mustang ever offered to customers in Europe. Performance is boosted to a level worthy of the iconic Mach 1 moniker with enhanced aerodynamics, a specially calibrated 480bhp and 420ft-lb of torque, 5.0-litre V8 engine and uprated cooling for improved track capability.
MACH IS BACK

The Mach 1 is also the first production Mustang in Europe available with a high-performance Tremec six-speed manual transmission (as used in the GT350) featuring rev-matching technology for seamless downshifts and an upgraded oil-cooler system for high-demand performance driving. Customers can alternatively specify Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission, featuring an upgraded oil cooler and recalibrated software for optimised performance in road and track driving conditions.
