2020 Mach1 hybrid!? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

SchwermoRacing · 01-14-2018, 05:06 PM

Anyone else disappointed it's a hybrid? I'd have preferred a nice 5.2 V8.

"Apparently someone spoke with Raj Nair after the intro and was told that the Mach 1 would be on a unique chassis, not the current Mustang chassis
Another person told me he overheard someone say it would be an all-electric crossover utility. That is bound to piss off the Mustang faithful, if it is true."

Ford PR rep Mike Levine just tweeted that the Mach 1 will be a “high performance battery electric SUV.”

No, just really surprised.
2019 Bullitt is real.

I got quoted for a PP2 as 51k with tax and tags included. A Bullitt would be close to that. The PP2 had mag ride and shaker audio on it.

falcongtho3 · 01-14-2018, 07:09 PM

I'm seeing postings up that indicate that it will be an SUV either called a Mach 1 or the Mach 1 name will go with the powerplant on various applications. W...T...F???

Recon · 01-14-2018, 07:51 PM

I love the new Bullitt, but this info on the Mach is incredibly disappointing.

Pick your poison.

bluoval · 01-14-2018, 09:06 PM

Looks like those here are just as confused as I am on this "teaser Mach 1 announcement" from Ford today. Will the Mach 1 name be used for just an electrified performance Mustang coming in 2020? Will the Mach 1 name be used on multiple models of the Ford lineup which may or may not include the Mustang? Will the Mach 1 name be used on a single all-new Ford vehicle (and not the Mustang as we know it today)? Don't screw this up Ford!!

jbrad88 · 01-14-2018, 09:06 PM

Perhaps our cars just got a bump in value
The last of the v-8 powered Mach 1’s

I get all the drive for the technology. I understand that all cars are evolving

But NO....A Mach1 is not an electric car

Stupid move imho. Very disappointed if this pans out to be true.

Plus the price tag is getting ridiculous

I get 60k for GT350 as it’s a purpose built track car...but 50-55k for a loaded GT just makes Mustang no longer affordable for us mere mortals...unless you go base model...

Thunderbolt · 01-14-2018, 09:33 PM

Stupid. Ford already steered me away from buying an F-150. If I ever got the money to buy another performance car, I'd go with having all Dodges in my garage.

ab_mach1 · 01-15-2018, 12:47 AM

I can’t believe they want to put the Mach 1 name on an SUV?! I don’t understand what connection can be made with Mach 1, a hybrid setup, or an SUV.

They should've called the bullet the mach 1 and gave it mach 1 styling cues and let the bullet die. If this is true it's a dumb move and is gonna piss off a lot of their fan base. Compound this with them potentially screwing up the look of the new Bronco and just rebaging an Everest and they're gonna be hurting. Hell they really never changed the global ranger and just released it here.

Should have just put the Power parts from the Bullitt(gt350 IM, intake and TB) on the PP2 GT and added a dual ram air hood like the 70's Mach1 and then called it Mach1. Though having just a 15hp bump over a GT is kinda sad for a "mach1". I was hoping for an NA CPC 5.2L.

Either way I'm buying a Bullet and adding the PP2 handling bits.

MAD_MACh1 · 01-15-2018, 04:07 PM

I've given up on Ford. I know things change but this is an SUV load of crap. Guess it's time to buy a Challenger.

Murder Snake · 01-15-2018, 06:27 PM

definitely a bad move on Ford's part no matter which way it goes to do an electric anything as a Mach.

73mach03 · 01-15-2018, 06:35 PM

Is this an early April Fool’s Joke? Seems like someone at Ford has gone off the edge.

Yeah I'm very disappointed that they would even think to use the Mach 1 name on anything but a bad *** mustang.

I thought for sure that they would "Americanize" the new Ranger to look more tough. Nope still looks like that p***y a** Australian abortion of a truck.

Hadn't heard about them just repackaging the Everest as the new Bronco. That's disappointing. There was some awesome looking renders out there.

I'm starting to see a trend here. Feminizing once tough looking vehicles. It's just a continuation of what society has been doing to our youth with all this politically correct b.s.

No, but the name would be more relevant. Electric, Lightning. At least they were trucks, that is closer to a crossover/SUV than a Mustang.

I’ve been looking at the scat pack 392’s with the shaker hood. Very nice

I saw that Lee.
Posted it on your Instagram as well. We need to get that petition out to as many people. Post a link on your Instagram to the petition and I will as well.
