About the Ford Mustang Mach 1 S550
The S550-generation Mach 1 serves as a 'greatest hits' compilation of the sixth-generation Mustang, bridging the gap between the GT and the Shelby models. It features a specially tuned 5.0-litre Coyote V8 paired with the Tremec TR-3160 manual transmission from the GT350, alongside cooling and aerodynamic components from the GT500. Designed for track endurance, it includes MagneRide adaptive dampers and a unique front fascia that pays homage to the 1969 original. It is widely considered the most balanced and capable non-Shelby Mustang of its era.
