Exciting times! I really like the idea of owning a Mach 1. Very unlikely but you never know...

I'm sure I'll be taking a test drive at some point

You'll be lucky to get one of those!

Is this the handling pack verison, as it looks like it but I thought the handling pack had 480bhp?

USA v U.K. ?

Im interested to see what else is watered down ...

There we go, we get a watered down 450bhp due to EU regulations apparently - somewhat ironic that. I wonder if Australia also gets a watered down version.

C'mon. You know the drill by now:
a) The Americans hate to sell the best stuff to foriegners.
b) Apparently, they're the worst Automotive Engineers on earth & so RHD thwarts any of their attempts to design for RHD.

Hah, yes to convert a car to RHD is such a feat of engineering. Never really been achieved before!

Cue influx of used “limited edition” Bullitts on Autotrader when everyone trades in and overpays for a second time for a “limited” Mustang

The more I read EU Mach 1 articles the more I am thinking the Mach 1 wont be the car many had hoped for in the UK. If we don't get the handling pack option it will be a pretty poor show by Ford.

You may be right, 450bhp is not a massive difference against my curent 410bhp '17 GT, which will probably work out circa £20k cheaper once all is said and done.

Lets see the final design and specs of the UK handling pack Mach 1, if we get one.

 

[CaptainSensible]

Does anyone know when prices/specs will be announced in the UK?

Also really interested to read/watch some reviews to see how much of an improvement the Mach 1 is over the regular Mustang GT. Many owners (myself included) have made handling modifications to their standard GT, so will the Mach 1 offer much much above this?

ive now seen a fair few USA clips and to be honest the Mach 1 in anything but top spec is a no no from me. Really not feeling all the Mach 1 motifs

in the states apparently not only has the GT350 made way for the mach 1 but so has the GT performance pack. What will that mean for the UK ?

 

[Twin Turbo]

It's the PP2 that is no longer available for the '21MY..........the PP1 (Performance Pack) is still available in the US, which is (sort of) the equivalent of our GT, although we don't get the Torsen diff.

No idea when Ford UK will release price and full specs. Other countries seem to have their details already, so hopefully it won't be too long. I know Richard Hammond was testing the Mach 1 at Ford's HQ last week, so perhaps we'll get more details once his review goes live.
