Ford has confirmed that the 2021 Mustang Mach 1 will be available to enthusiasts around the world.
The Mach 1 will fill the void left by the Shelby GT350 and GT350R that are now heading for retirement. Only North American buyers had the opportunity to experience the GT350 twins, so it’s good news that other markets will be able to purchase the Mach 1.
Ford Authority received confirmation about the global sales plan for the Mustang Mach 1 from the car manufacturer itself. While it has yet to be revealed precisely which markets outside North American will receive the car, a prototype was spied by Which Car in right-hand drive configuration a couple of months ago, indicating it will be sold in markets like Australia and the UK. Meanwhile, Europe can be expected to get left-hand drive models.

Ford first hinted at its plans to make the Mach 1 global during its debut back in June.
“This is one of those special Mustangs that truly brings a smile to the faces of our owners, enthusiasts and fans – including me – so there’s never been a better time to bring back Mach 1 and have it go global too,” Ford chief executive Jim Farley said in a statement.
Powering the Mustang Mach 1 is a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 that has been modified to provide 480 hp and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm) of torque, the same figures as the Bullitt. Paired to this thumping V8 is a Tremec manual six-speed with a rev-matching function or a 10-speed automatic transmission.
