The first deliveries in Europe of the new Ford Mustang Mach 1, the most powerful Mustang ever offered to customers of the Old Continent, are underway. Enhancing the performance of the world‘s best-selling sports car with a specially tuned 460PS 5.0 V8 engine and dedicated drivetrain specifications, Mustang Mach 1 also introduces bespoke aerodynamics and new upgraded component cooling systems for improved capacity. ‘on the track. It offers exceptional acceleration from 0-100 km / h in 4 “4 and increases downforce by 22% compared to the Mustang GT for greater cornering grip and stability even at high speeds. Ford introduces the Mach moniker in Europe 1, the iconic limited edition model, offering racing-inspired styling, specs and details for fans of high-performance cars. “There is a reason why the Mustang is the best-selling sports car in the world. world, but the Mach 1 will elevate the Mustang to another level in the hearts of high-performance car enthusiasts on this side of the Atlantic, “commented Matthias Tonn, Mustang Mach 1 Chief Program Engineer for Europe.” Road or track, this is the most powerful Mustang ever to arrive in Europe and it is more than worthy of carrying the legendary Mach 1 badge “. Specially tuned for adrenaline-pumping performance, Mustang Mach 1’s all-aluminum 5.0 V8 Ford V8 engine, combines an Open Air Induction System to a c Intake manifold with 87mm throttle bodies with a dual fuel injection system at high and low pressure to reach an output of 460hp at 7,250rpm and a maximum torque of 529Nm at 4,900rpm. High performance driving is supported by a new auxiliary engine oil cooler and engine oil filter adapter designed to ensure optimum lubrication and convincing performance even under full load. To optimize performance, handling and dynamic capabilities, Mustang Mach 1 offers the possibility to choose between two different gearboxes. Mach 1 is also the first production Mustang, in Europe, available with a high performance TREMEC six-speed manual transmission, featuring rev-matching technology for smoother downshifts and an oil cooling system optimized for driving. high performance. Customers can also choose a 10-speed automatic transmission, with software recalibrated for optimized performance in every driving scenario, both on the road and on the track. Both the manual and automatic versions feature an additional rear axle cooling system that further supports their dynamics on the track and, moreover, they are both equipped as standard with a limited slip differential in order to increase grip both in straight lines. both out of curves. In addition, the 10-speed automatic transmission features an additional oil cooler that increases its cooling capacity by 75% to comfortably handle full load driving. Mustang Mach 1 benefits from a number of aerodynamic changes that improve its performance, as well as giving it a distinctive “wind-sculpted” appearance that pays homage to the style of the original models. The aerodynamic improvements include a redesign of the front grille, divided into two parts, and of the lower and side grilles combined with a new spoiler: All this contributes to improve aerodynamics and cooling capacity. The longer underbody incorporates dedicated ailerons designed to direct aerodynamic airflows directly to the brakes, which in turn feature a higher specification brake booster for consistently responsive braking performance. Six-piston BremboTM brake calipers support stopping distances from 100-0 km / h in less than 32 meters. A unique suspension configuration further enhances its performance on the road while also ensuring better readiness on the track. Specially calibrated MagneRide® (2) shock absorbers, springs, anti-roll bars and custom-tuned bush specs, offer improved control and response even under high cornering loads. The optimized EPAS steering software allows Mach 1 to offer more precision than any other Mustang in Europe. The suspension architecture is configured to maintain trim under severe acceleration and braking conditions and includes subframes and components tested on Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT500 models. The exclusive 19 ” 10-spoke alloy wheels, 0.5 ” wider at the front and rear, are equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires already prepared for the track. To further enhance the driving experience, Mustang Mach 1 will be equipped with Drive Modes, which include Sport and Track modes, combined with Track Apps that allow drivers to monitor the accelerometer, speed and Launch Control functions, which can be viewed in the 12 “digital instrument cluster. The racing-inspired style has been a hallmark of the iconic Mustang Mach 1 since its first creation in 1969. The style of the new generation is strongly influenced by aerodynamic characteristics including the front grilles, the front splitter, rear diffuser and rear spoiler combined with glossy black and Magnetic finishes. The exclusive 19 ” wheels are finished in low-gloss Dark Tarnish. For Italian customers there is an exclusive limited edition of 57 Mustang Mach 1 will be available in Fighter Jet Gray only with Hood Stripes on the bonnet and Side Stripes on the doors that complete the styling. and inspired by racing. Both upper and lower front grilles are finished in glossy black while the iconic Mach 1 logo appears on the rear and sides. The interior features an Ebony color scheme and Dark Engine machined aluminum details, while the leather sports seats feature contrasting orange detailing. Each Mustang Mach 1 features a unique dashboard badge with the Mach 1 logo, paired with unique door sills and a new 12 ” digital instrument cluster start display. Technologies dedicated to comfort and convenience include climate-controlled front seats, SYNC 3 connectivity system with touchscreen and navigation system (5), 12-speaker B&O premium audio and integrated FordPass Connect modem (6) for optimal connectivity. “A true Mustang Mach 1 must look fast even when stationary,” added Tonn. “Functional aerodynamics and unique race-inspired features will leave high-performance car enthusiasts in no doubt that this Mustang is synonymous with performance, even before it hits the track.” (ITALPRESS). tvi / com 18-May-21 17:17
