2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1's Handling Pack Costs $3500
The option package includes sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and can be had with both manual- and automatic-transmission models.
Ford has announced that the 2021 Mustang Mach 1's optional Handling package will add $3,500 to the price of the car.
It'll also now be available with the 10-speed automatic as well as the standard six-speed manual transmission.
Orders for the Mustang Mach 1 with the Handling package will open in January 2021, with cars slated to arrive in the spring.
The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is back for 2021 with a 480-hp 5.0-liter V-8, and it's the perfect blend of Shelby and the Steve McQueen–inspired Bullitt. It starts at $52,915 — about $5,000 more than the Bullitt — and if customers want to make it even more like a high-performance Shelby, they can get the available Handling package, which will cost an additional $3,500.
That's when the Mach 1 is equipped with the six-speed manual transmission, which has the same white cue-ball shift knob that we loved in our long-term Bullitt. Ford's also offering the Handling pack on cars equipped with the 10-speed automatic transmission, which costs an additional $1,595. Those gearboxes sync up to a 5.0-liter V-8 that produces 480 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque thanks to the now dead Shelby GT350's intake manifold, oil-filter adapter, and engine oil cooler.
The $3,500 Handling package includes unique dark-painted 19-inch aluminum wheels, sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber, adjustable top strut mounts, a swing rear spoiler with Gurney flap from the GT500, special chassis tuning, and a front splitter. Ford claims that the Handling package's upgrades give the Mach 1 150 percent more downforce than the Performance Pack Level 1 Mustang GTs.
