Once seen, never forgotten.
The black-striped hood, shark-nosed grille, and bold, muscular style – the Mustang Mach 1 was an icon from the moment it first appeared. Now, 50 years later, it returns to enthral a new generation in a strictly limited edition. Move fast, or be left in its dust.
Once driven, forever smitten.
The visual punch of the new Mach 1 is matched only by the thrill of the driving experience. The track-ready performance of the upgraded 5.0L V8 engine and Shelby 6-speed manual transmission is expertly paired with unique chassis settings and ride upgrades. More responsive and engaging, the Mach 1 pushes the limits without pushing the driver.

50 Years of Performance
See the past meet the future, as the new Mach 1 takes to the track with a couple of its classic forebears.
FEATURES
Break the style barrier.
The Mach 1 is not your everyday sports car, with a host of track-focused upgrades to modernise a classic, and forge a distinct new identity for the road.
Unmistakably Mach 1
Even at a glance, this car speaks to power. The subtle menace of the classic hood stripe is flanked by a pair of discreet vents for maximum performance and distinctive looks.
Wheels
The exclusive dark-painted alloys are a modern take on the original’s Magnum 500 wheels and highlight the colour-coded Brembo brake calipers.
Exhaust and Diffuser
Unique active exhaust tuning features 4.5-inch quad exhaust tips, perforated to enhance sound quality.
Front Grille
Deep 3D mesh, shark nose section, matte Mustang pony and tribute lamp elements tie the Mach 1 back to its race-focused origins.
Rear Spoiler
An advanced, multi-functional centre console enables you to control many of the vehicle’s systems from one place. There’s also useful storage box and a sliding arm rest.
Appearance Pack
An exclusive inclusion only with the Fighter Jet Gray paint option, the pack includes unique black & orange hood and side stripes, orange brake calipers, and orange seatback accents.
Recaro Seats
So you get the most out of your Mach 1, choose the optional race-inspired Recaro sports seats.
Shift Knob
The classic cue ball shift knob to enhance both grip and style
Dynamic by design.
The Mach 1 delivers race-inspired performance that both flatters the novice and rewards the expert driver.
Performance Powertrain
Mustang’s iconic Coyote 5.0-litre V8 is upgraded with a Shelby GT350 intake for 345kW of power and 550Nm of torque2, announced via Mach 1’s Active Exhaust and Selectable Drive Modes.
Competition-ready Chassis
Bespoke steering, MagneRide® suspension with stiffer sway bars and front springs, and a rear subframe using stiffer bushings and a Shelby GT500 rear toe-link combine for precise handling.
Transmission
Mach 1 boasts choice of the Shelby GT350’s TR-3160 manual or an upgraded 10-speed paddleshift automatic, with unique calibration for enhanced performance.
Track-ready endurance
Two side heat exchangers (one each for engine and transmission) and a rear axle heat exchanger keep the Mach 1 running harder for longer.
Underbody Aero
An underbody pan smooths and increases airflow under Mach 1, increasing downforce and brake cooling flow – a first for Mustang.
HISTORY
50 years of turning heads.
The Mach 1 was introduced in 1969 as a bridge between the Mustang GT and SVT Cobra and Shelby models. It quickly became its own legend, earning a permanent place in Mustang performance lore.
Timeline of Key Moments.
1969
The first Mach 1 was an answer to Mustang’s many muscle car competitors.
1969
Famous for the ‘Shaker’ hood scoop, which visibly shook when revved.
1970
The first Mach 1 had no less than four facelifts in two years.
1971
Longer, wider and flatter, this is the model that co-starred with James Bond.
1974
As US petrol prices rose, the Mach 1 down-sized to try and compete.
2003
The Mach 1 first reappeared as part of a ‘Living Legend’ series.
Winners only
Using the Mach 1’s rally success as a way to prove it was suitable for weekend getaways.
Design over time.
The distinctive silhouette of the Mach 1 has had a few iterations over time. Scroll right to see the changes.
Selling Speed
A lack of regulation at the time meant cars could be advertised simply going flat-out. But the Mach 1 was also being promoted as more of a style icon, at much more sedate speeds.
