It's pretty hard to believe that the last time Mustang and Mach 1 were found in the same model name was 16 years ago in the fourth-generation Mustang, and if we go back even further, the original Mach 1 debuting as a performance package in 1969. .

Sources talking to Ford Authority have stated that Ford is looking at achieving 525 horsepower (391 kW) and 450 pound-feet (610 Nm) of torque with the new Mach 1, well over the 480 horsepower (358 kW) and 420 pound-feet (569 Nm) that the Bullitt is capable of. .

It's still not known exactly how Ford is maximizing the Coyote V8 to produce the target numbers, but given the gradual increase in horsepower for the naturally aspirated engine over the years plus the potential for great power gains via aftermarket parts, it's not something that Ford will have a hard time doing.
