When a brand wants to resurrect a mythical model, it must carefully measure the steps to be taken. The Ford Mustang Mach 1 it is one of the most illustrious pony cars in the world, and the proof is that its history is told in the form of a limited edition. The last time it was for sale was 17 years ago and the number of units sold they were very few. Now, he's back more rabid than ever to help this generation's sales soar.
The last time we told you about the new Ford Mustang Mach 1 It was a couple of weeks ago. The Blue Oval launched a Press release with a series of spy images that confirmed its development. In it, they left endless questions in the air that would only have an answer in their official presentation. Now, they release part of the graphic material and some characteristics related to its “set up”. If you like it, don't miss it, because it promises, and a lot...
The new Ford Mustang Mach 1 brings its aesthetics closer to the original
On an aesthetic level, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 maintains the known scheme in this generation. However, the creative team of the brand has pulled nostalgia based on accessories such as the grille modified to the air intakes on the bonnet. The stickers distributed throughout areas of the bodywork such as the hood and the lower areas of the doors seek to create a retro air, based on the colors black and orange or black and white.
La carbon fiber It is another material that takes center stage on the bodywork of the Mustang Mach 1. We see it in the front splitter or the spoiler located on the rear. To all this, we must add elements such as the alloy wheels, which have different designs. However, there are elements that have fallen by the wayside, such as the rear window finished in "blind" type slats what the original looked like.
Under the hood roars a 5.0-liter V8 with 490 hp and 570 Nm of torque
On a mechanical level, there are no surprises as Ford engineers have used an engine already known. Specifically, the Mustang Mach 1 uses the block 5.0 liter V8 with 490 hp and 570 Nm of maximum torque. Its management is associated with a 10-speed automatic transmission that sends the power of the engine to the rear axle. In addition, and optionally, you can choose a 6-speed manual gearbox signed by Tremec.
The Shelby sports division has also done its bit. In this case, they have tuned the front and rear frames as well as the exhaust system. The suspension has also been tuned, but this information is still under wraps. With everything, the Mustang Mach 1 will be located halfway between the GT and Shelby, offering an excellent relationship between power-performance-aesthetics and price.
There will be wait for its official debut to have all the data, technical but this version is worth it. It is not yet known if it will arrive in Europe, but considering its performance, forget about it.
