The Ford Mustang is officially unveiled by Henry Ford II at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York, on April 17, 1964

On March 2, 1966 the one millionth Mustang rolled off the assembly line at the Dearborn Assembly plant. In doing so, the Mustang not only set a new U.S. passenger car production record, but was also hailed as having the greatest impact on the American economy of any new car since World War II, with retail sales of more than $2.8 billion and more than $180 million paid in wages.

Hear the roar of a Mustang as the ground starts to tremble and your legs start to shake. As always, Mustang draws upon its performance roots with features for enhanced handling, high-powered engine options and a classic Mustang design. For 2022, the soul-stirring Mustang Mach 1 and Mach 1 Premium stand at the pinnacle of 5.0L performance. The personally customizable Mach 1 continues its legacy, engineered specifically for quick turns and spirited drives.

This Beauty Is A Real Beast

Mach 1 performance is evident even before you get behind the wheel. Its streamlined design and exterior styling cues celebrate Mach 1 heritage dating back more than five decades. Sure, every Mustang looks good in the driveway, but the Mach 1 was made to shine on the track. The unique handling dynamics and an available Mach 1 Handling Package help you feel stuck to the road, around curves and when you’re hitting the straightaway at a 168 mph max speed. Better yet, it’s completely customizable in appearance, powertrain and performance, so you can put your spin on this icon.

When it comes to the latest GT500, driver enjoyment is secondary. It’s both the fastest production Mustang ever built and the most powerful street legal Ford product ever. By all accounts, this Shelby pushes the current generation Mustang and Ford’s modular V8 to their absolute limits. It’s a showcase of brute strength wrapped in a sophisticated package designed to be the best, despite whomever is behind the wheel. Unsurprisingly, it’s a blast to drive.
