2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Power and Torque Numbers Potentially Revealed (Ford Authority)
Just last week, Ford officially announced that it was bringing the Mustang Mach 1 back for the 2021 model year, while sharing a few heavily-camouflaged shots of the car and dropping a few hints as to what we could expect from it. And yesterday, we’ve also gotten our hands on some new Mach 1 spy shots that show off a few interesting details about the car. But what everyone really wants to know is, just what will the Mach 1 power and torque numbers be? Luckily, Ford Authority has the scoop.
So far, the only thing Ford has officially confirmed is that the Mustang Mach 1 will be powered by the naturally-aspirated 5.0L Coyote V8 engine. The automaker has also stated in its announcement that the limited-edition pony will be the “epitome” of its segment, which one could interpret to mean that it will deliver higher levels of performance, better handling and more power than the current king of the naturally-aspirated Coyote game – the Mustang Bullitt. That model, which the Mach 1 is indirectly replacing, is rated at 480 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque – a 20 horsepower improvement over the regular Ford Mustang GT.
Sources familiar with product plans have told Ford Authority that The Blue Oval is aiming for Mach 1 power and torque figures to be even higher than those of the Bullitt. In fact, engineers are shooting for 525 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, which certainly represents a healthy increase over the Bullitt and the regular Mustang GT.
