Taking the GT350’s place within the 2021 Mustang lineup would be a sixth-generation Mach 1. Ultimately, the 2021 Mach 1, has proved itself every bit as worthy of carrying this storied designation, as any of the high-output pony cars of the 1960s and 70s.
Like the 2021 GT Fastback, the Mach 1 features a high-output version of Ford’s highly-revered 5.0 Coyote V8. This engine is paired to either a Tremec six-speed manual or ten-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, depending upon a consumer’s preferences. Power is transferred to the pavement through a 3.73 Torsen Limited-Slip rear axle assembly. All things considered, the Mach 1 dishes out 480 horsepower, and 420 lb.-ft. of torque.
Many have also praised the 2021 Mustang Mach 1’s superior handling capabilities, much of which can be attributed to the car’s use of MagneRide adaptive shock absorbers, upgraded front springs, and adjustable strut top mounts. The Mach 1’s chassis has even been specifically tuned to optimize cornering stability.
The Mach 1’s appearance is also quite unique, paying apparent tribute to the earlier specialty Mustangs for which it is named. Some of the most noteworthy of these cosmetic upgrades include a custom front fascia, as well a signature striping along the Mach 1’s sides and hood.
