Yes, but that is the On the road price, fully taxed and registered and ready to drive away. I understand in the USA cars are listed with a price before delivery, tax and registration since each State is different.Dang, so about the same as America, but in pounds?? That’s pretty pricey
To be fair, the Bullitt is terrible value to a GT. It's just a few badges and styling cues to be honest. The GT350 manifold is not any better than the 2018+ GT manifold, and the throttle body and open filter intake is technically inferior to a closed box.About what I was expecting............although, as much as I love the Mach 1, it looks poor value compare to the outgoing Bullitt.
With S650 coming for the '23MY, I suspect we'll see these with 0% finance offers for the last 12 months of S550 production.
It's still the most desirable S550 so far though, in my eyes.
I don't disagree with you but keep in mind at least the following:What a stupid decision from Ford. So you really pay a lot of money for the EU Mach 1 that can not even close to perform what the US model delivers (downgraded power + bad axle ratio for manuals + no handling package). And we will have to see if the Mach 1 will sound as good here.
And you probably still have to mod some things like lowering the car and add spacers, since the car will not look like a proper track-ready car from the factory.
I still will most likely my Camaro SS next year. Mach 1 with Handling Package and Torsten Diff in the manual would really be attractive. But a used GT350, ZL1 or C8 just look like the better deal honestly.
Afaik the handling package includes:1. Export markets get most of the handling pack. All we don't get are Cup 2 tyres and the GT350 rear spoiler with gurney flap. We get the rest of the handling pack changes such as the front and rear diffuser and suspension upgrades.
Yes, the difference might not be as big as it sounds in reality with premium fuel. But still I think about all the current EU GTs that are more 5s to 60 cars than the 4s to 60 cars as it's was marketed in the US. The hp loss combined with slower axle ratio will surely cost you some acceleration power. For 70k€ a high 4s is just not a good number for todays market (where you can get a slightly used AMG C63S fo the money which most likely outrun the track ready EU Mach1 in every number)2. The hp difference is not as great as it first seems US cars are rated at 480hp on 93/94 octane which is equivalent to 99 octane in Europe. The export cars are rated at 460hp on the equivalent of 91 US octane - 95 octane overseas. Thus, the hp difference is likely less than 10jp in reality and a lot of that is down to the manifold and catalyst/OPF design requirements.
The spec shows we get the belly pan/front splitter and chassis tuning, but do miss out on the others you mention.Afaik the handling package includes:
None of that is in the EU Models?
- The special wheels on Cup 2s
- Adjustable top strut mounts
- GT500 spoiler with gurney flap
- Special chassis tuning - Whatever this means
- Additional front splitter

In the UK (and other global markets), both the auto and manual variants get 3.55 rear gears, whereas in freedomland, our manuals get 3.73 rear gears, which is a more ideal gearset for the manual transmissionHi Ace , could you explain "the bad axle ratio for manuals". chers tom
