The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 returns after a 17-year absence as a tuned-up version of the Mustang GT. The new 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is intended to sit between the Mustang GT and the Mustang Shelby GT500, taking the place of the Shelby GT350 now that it’s no longer being made. There are multiple configurations and capabilities, so not every Mustang Mach 1 is a replacement for the Shelby GT350, but they all sit pretty close, both in capabilities and in price.
The entry-level Mustang Mach 1 is a well configured and capable Mustang, with standard equipment similar to the GT and an optional Performance Package. It gets Ford's MagneRide adaptive shock absorbers, and an active performance, adjustable-volume exhaust. The Mach 1’s standard manual six speed transmission is the Tremec, ironically from the GT350. Theres an optional 10-speed automatic transmission which has an upgraded torque converter and an additional oil cooler. The Mustang Mach 1 also has unique suspension tuning, power steering, antilock brakes and three level stability control. One of my favourite features on the Mustang Mach 1 is its active exhaust button on the steering wheel. You can program it to start in quiet mode, allowing for neighbour friendly starts and then when you get down the road you can switch it into track mode for a full on rip roaring V8 sound. After driving the new model on the road for a week in the British wintertime, I would say the improvements over the GT are highly noticeable. For a starting price of £56,000 the new Mustang Mach 1 is clearly a better all round car.
