DEARBORN, Mich. - Seventy-three years ago today over Rogers Dry Lake in Southern California, the world witnessed speed like never before with the first-ever sound barrier-breaking flight. Mission accomplished: Mach 1 was achieved.

Seventy-three years later, the thirst for speed is quenched again. Mach 1 has returned.

With a starting MSRP of $51,720 (plus taxes and destination and delivery charges), orders for the 2021 Mustang Mach 1 are open in 53 countries in markets around the globe. The all-new and limited-edition 2021 Mustang Mach 1 will arrive to U.S. and Canadian Ford dealerships in the spring of 2021.

The return of Mach 1, after a 17-year absence, signals a new pinnacle of 5.0-liter V-8 pony car performance. Following the lead of the original 1969 Mustang Mach 1 that bridged the gap between the Mustang GT and Shelby® models, the all-new Mach 1 delivers V-8 power, unique functional aerodynamic enhancements, competition-capable suspension upgrades and a driver-focused cockpit. 

The all-new Mustang Mach 1 packs a specially calibrated 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 480 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm.
