If you’ve enjoyed our previous post here, you already know the incredible Mustang Mach 1 is barreling toward Penticton in the spring of 2021 after 17 years and comes packed with a V8 that pushes out 480 HP. But there’s so much more to love about this machine.
Let’s talk about handling. The Mustang Mach 1 is endowed with a handling package that comes with the Tremec™ 3160 6-speed manual transmission for incredibly enjoyable on-road experiences (this fastback coupe also offers the option of a 10-speed automatic). The stick shift setup, however, also comes with new front wheel lip moldings, rear tire spats from the Shelby GT500, a low-gloss magnetic swing spoiler, and a higher downforce front splitter. Fantastic, right?
Of course, it won’t just feel good to drive the Mach 1—you’ll be looking good, too. The pony car comes with a refreshed front fascia and grilles that also deliver enhanced aerodynamics and cooling. Plus, the side-body stripes and hood sport reflective surfaces, and black accents are abundant.
Ford’s put Penticton, BC, and the rest of Canada on notice—great things lie ahead, and perhaps none are greater than the long-anticipated return of the Mustang Mach 1.
The limited-edition Mustang Mach 1 will return to Canadian and U.S. Ford dealerships in the spring of 2021 after a 17-year hiatus—and trust us when we say this pony car is not playing around.

At its world premiere this past week, the Big Blue Oval brand revealed the enormous power of this dynamic new vehicle. The 2021 Mach 1 fastback coupe is set to arrive with a 5.0-liter V8 with serious track-ready performance. The engine will produce a stunning 480 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Also, the original model’s aggressive aerodynamic and handling enhancements will be well-represented and in no short supply.
