As the world’s best-selling sports car, the iconic Ford Mustang range in South Africa will soon be bolstered by a very special and exclusive model – the Mach 1 Fastback coupé, which is the pinnacle of Mustang 5.0-litre V8 style and performance. The unrivalled exclusivity of the Mustang Mach 1 will be guaranteed, as only 90 units are available for the South African market.
Accordingly, the limited-edition Mustang Mach 1 becomes the most track-capable 5.0-litre Mustang yet, courtesy of a newly designed front end, plus Ford Performance parts derived from the Mustang Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models.
The performance of the specially calibrated 5.0-litre V8 engine matches that of the revered Mustang Bullitt, producing 338kW of power and 529Nm of torque. Mach 1 buyers that desire the most engaging driving experience can select the high-performance six-speed manual transmission derived from the Shelby GT350, or there’s the option of Ford’s high-tech 10-speed automatic. Both transmissions receive numerous performances, cooling and calibration enhancements that are specific to the Mach 1.
Visually, the Mach 1 is easily identifiable as a truly special, track-focused machine – most notably by the bold Mach 1 grille that pays tribute to the original, along with extensive use of low-gloss Magnetic dark grey and black accents.
New 19-inch five-spoke Tarnished Dark-painted aluminium wheels are a modern interpretation of the classic Mach 1 Magnum 500 style wheels, fitted with 255/40R19 tyres in front and 275/40R19 versions at the rear, giving the Mach 1 a sportier, more aggressive demeanour and enhanced handling prowess.
To further improve ride and handling, the Mach 1 features the latest MagneRide adaptive suspension, new performance-oriented electric power steering calibration, stiffer sway bars and front springs, an upgraded brake booster, a rear subframe with stiffer bushings and a rear toe-link from the Shelby GT500. And, as expected of a track-focused Mustang, the available Drive Modes includes a Track mode and Track Apps with Launch Control.
All units destined for South Africa are painted in distinctive metallic Fighter Jet Grey with the Appearance Package as standard, which will make the Mach 1 instantly recognisable. Other distinctive elements include satin black bonnet and side stripes with orange accents and orange-painted brake callipers. Additionally, the front fenders feature the legendary ‘Mach 1’ badging, which reaffirms this model’s iconic lineage.
The same theme is carried through to the cabin thanks to orange seatback accents and a Dark Spindrift instrument panel with aluminium accents. Other interior upgrades include new door sill plates, an updated splash screen on the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster, Mach-1-branded door-sill scuff plates, and engraved badging on the instrument panel that displays the vehicle’s unique chassis number to reinforce its special, limited-edition status.
Timing and pricing for the Mustang Mach 1 in South Africa will be confirmed at a later stage.

We celebrated many events this month such as hosting the 25-year birthday celebration of our dealership, displaying 25 Used Car vehicles on a promotion. In the time of Covid, we are very restricted, so we followed protocol and our vehicles were parked outside in our parking bays for clients to come and view. Balloons and banners were the call of the day with our Gazebo nicely situated between all.
Youth Day was our next celebration and we decided that even though Covid was active, we were going to host a small braai for the people working that day, we advertised on Facebook that we would be open until 1.00 for anybody who would like to come and pay a visit. Feet were few but spirits were high, and we kept the beat going.
The famous Father’s Day, events at this stage are now very limited so we decided to do a great special on the New Ford Ranger with awesome prizes to be won. Posts went out on Facebook and a small braai was arranged on the floor, motivation and enthusiasm were very evident.
And finally, it is month-end, it is Saturday, and the staff are ready to take up one last challenge, to convert the last couple of deals in the pipeline into sales. The month is finally over and all we can say is WELL DONE!
