2021 Mach 1 Mustang Prototype Spied on The Prowl?!

No more power, waste of coin
It’s sharp in the stick shift with handling package but alas 480hp = fail

Autoweek also has a bigger gallery of photos.

My first thought is...thud.

They might have brought Bruce Lee to the movie premier, but they dressed him in jeans and a flannel shirt....

I like it, but it is underwhelming. I’ll still likely opt for one, but there are some changes I feel it needs visually at first, then power wise down the road.

Without being specific, do you think that most will be happy with the power figures?

I doubt that most will be happy.

You were right. Glad to see the A10, but no power bump is very disappointing - especially with the GT350 gone.

I was just taking the temperature of the forum based on reaction to the Ford Authority 525hp claim. Seemed most were on that track and would be disappointed with 480. Personally, I like it. I would have preferred a little more attention to the hood, but I like it and would consider it if

1. It comes priced right ($55 or less)
2. I was in the market (probably sitting tight for a couple more years <cough> Z06 <cough>)
3. I don't run into a really nice GT350 on the way to the dealer

It's just a carryover bullitt engine with likely a revised exhaust.

The big highlight here is the tremec trans. This is what the PP2 should have been all along.

The reflective stripes like the old boss 302 is really cool though, I like that. The track model looks really nice.

I'm going to wait to see what the Z06 truly is before grabbing one though.

Under the skin it hits a lot of the right buttons, but the graphics/wheels are a fail. Take the 5 spokes and at least machine the face, or paint it silver.Wrong badge for fender use. Hood graphic is 'groovy' in a 70s kind of way, but the lack of uniqueness in the actual hood is a miss.

Looks like Ford is cleaning out the parts bin...part Bullitt, part PP2 and part GT350. Makes me wonder if they are truly ending the GT350 or just prepping for an all new updated model.

it'll probably be back for 2026 as a hybrid.

That is THE nicest front fascia since the 15-17 cars. Finally.
I think the magnetic mirrors look a little off...maybe should have been black.
