The limited-edition Mustang Mach 1 is coming to our shores, with only 90 units allocated in South Africa. That is a 5.0L V8, with 338kW of power and 529Nm of torque perfectly wrapped in a body built for performance. The beast is coming, and it is beautiful. #MustangMach1

The New Ford Mustang Mach 1 leaves no room for humility, its loud heritage and innovative prowess is evident from a mile away. Equipped with a 5.0 litre V8 all-aluminium engine, 450 hp/ 343kw and a peak torque of 529Nm the Mach 1 is a beast unto its own and carries the technology to support it. Strapped with electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) software, the Mach 1 still takes the trophy over the most gruesome curves and bends, offering the precise steering of any Mustang to date.

The Ford Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced in August 1968 for the 1969 model year. ... As part of a Ford heritage program, the Mach 1 package returned in 2003 as a high-performance version of the New Edge platform. The advanced Ford 10-speed automatic transmission includes an upgraded torque converter and unique calibration for Mach 1, optimising torque capability shift character and overall power and performance with half the effort. The front and side grill provide improved cooling performance for such a hard-working machine. So, how does the new 2021 Mach 1 split the difference between the Mustang GT and the top-rung Shelby model? The 2021 Mach 1 may have the same 5.0-litre V8, but it pulls out 20 more ponies than a standard Mustang GT thanks largely to a revised intake manifold, oil filter adapter, and engine oil cooler.

As the world’s best-selling sports car, the iconic Ford Mustang range in South Africa will soon be bolstered by a very special and exclusive model ”“ the Mach 1 Fastback coupé, which is the pinnacle of Mustang 5.0-litre V8 style and performance. The unrivalled exclusivity of the Mustang Mach 1 will be guaranteed, as only 90 units are available for the South African market.

Accordingly, the limited-edition Mustang Mach 1 becomes the most track-capable 5.0-litre Mustang yet, courtesy of a newly designed front end, plus Ford Performance parts derived from the Mustang Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models.

The performance of the specially calibrated 5.0-litre V8 engine matches that of the revered Mustang Bullitt, producing 338kW of power and 529Nm of torque. Mach 1 buyers that desire the most engaging driving experience can select the high-performance six-speed manual transmission derived from the Shelby GT350, or there’s the option of Ford’s high-tech 10-speed automatic. Both transmissions receive numerous performances, cooling and calibration enhancements that are specific to the Mach 1.

Visually, the Mach 1 is easily identifiable as a truly special, track-focused machine ”“ most notably by the bold Mach 1 grille that pays tribute to the original, along with extensive use of low-gloss Magnetic dark grey and black accents.

New 19-inch five-spoke Tarnished Dark-painted aluminium wheels are a modern interpretation of the classic Mach 1 Magnum 500 style wheels, fitted with 255/40R19 tyres in front and 275/40R19 versions at the rear, giving the Mach 1 a sportier, more aggressive demeanour and enhanced handling prowess.

To further improve ride and handling, the Mach 1 features the latest MagneRide adaptive suspension, new performance-oriented electric power steering calibration, stiffer sway bars and front springs, an upgraded brake booster, a rear subframe with stiffer bushings and a rear toe-link from the Shelby GT500. And, as expected of a track-focused Mustang, the available Drive Modes includes a Track mode and Track Apps with Launch Control.

All units destined for South Africa are painted in distinctive metallic Fighter Jet Grey with the Appearance Package as standard, which will make the Mach 1 instantly recognisable. Other distinctive elements include satin black bonnet and side stripes with orange accents and orange-painted brake callipers. Additionally, the front fenders feature the legendary ‘Mach 1’ badging, which reaffirms this model’s iconic lineage.

The same theme is carried through to the cabin thanks to orange seatback accents and a Dark Spindrift instrument panel with aluminium accents. Other interior upgrades include new door sill plates, an updated splash screen on the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster, Mach-1-branded door-sill scuff plates, and engraved badging on the instrument panel that displays the vehicle’s unique chassis number to reinforce its special, limited-edition status.

Timing and pricing for the Mustang Mach 1 in South Africa will be confirmed at a later stage.

What an awesome diverse month this has been in the Dealership. Firstly, we are proud to boast an outstanding achievement for Marissa Zeelie our New Cars F&I, who won the award for best overall F&I for the year. Outstanding achievement. We had a few nominations and runner ups in our branch as well-being Werner Van Zyl (DP), Tyrone Cotty (Used Car Sales Manager) and Ryan Mckee (New Car Sales Manager). We celebrated many events this month such as hosting the 25-year birthday celebration of our dealership, displaying 25 Used Car vehicles on a promotion. In the time of Covid, we are very restricted, so we followed protocol and our vehicles were parked outside in our parking bays for clients to come and view. Balloons and banners were the call of the day with our Gazebo nicely situated between all. Youth Day was our next celebration and we decided that even though Covid was active, we were going to host a small braai for the people working that day, we advertised on Facebook that we would be open until 1.00 for anybody who would like to come and pay a visit. Feet were few but spirits were high, and we kept the beat going. The famous Father’s Day, events at this stage are now very limited so we decided to do a great special on the New Ford Ranger with awesome prizes to be won. Posts went out on Facebook and a small braai was arranged on the floor, motivation and enthusiasm were very evident. And finally, it is month-end, it is Saturday, and the staff are ready to take up one last challenge, to convert the last couple of deals in the pipeline into sales. The month is finally over and all we can say is WELL DONE! Reference: www.hatfieldford.co.za 0877277195

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems in the Ford Ranger Aid Driver and Passenger Safety

When the Ford Ranger made its first public appearance at the 2010 Australian International Motor Show, it was more than just the eye-catching design and capability of the all-new pick-up that set it apart from the competition. It was the highly advanced levels of safety, security, and occupant protection.

During development, Ford engineers ran thousands of simulations to develop a strong enough vehicle to do the job and safe enough to protect occupants in a crash. In addition, Ford fitted the Ranger with comprehensive crash avoidance technology to prevent crashes from happening in the first place.

These Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) helped the Ranger to become the first pick-up in its class to achieve the maximum five-star European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) / Australian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP) rating in 2012.

Safety Evolution

Features like pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking (AEB), available in certain Ranger and Everest models, are designed to reduce the severity of, and in some cases can help prevent, a frontal collision, marking a step toward a smarter, safer future on the road.

AEB uses complementary camera and millimetre-wave radar to detect and identify potential risks on the road on Ford vehicles. While the radar detects obstacles that are farther away and moving fast, such as other vehicles, the camera can also recognise images, such as pedestrians. When the risk is detected, AEB alerts the driver with audible warning sounds and a flashing light. At the same time, the system prepares the brakes for rapid braking. If the driver reacts too slowly, the technology applies the brakes, potentially helping avoid the crash entirely or reduce the impact.

Ford ADAS features explained

Adaptive Cruise Control

Like regular cruise control, you can set a speed you want the Ranger to maintain, but adaptive cruise control uses radar to maintain a safe and pre-set distance with the vehicle ahead of you.

Adjustable Speed Limiter

Driving on a long stretch of highway? Keep within the law and set the adjustable speed limiter to the legal limit of the motorway you are on. Once set, your Ranger will not go over the speed limit, even if you step on the throttle.

Parking Sensors with Rear View Camera

Ranger helps you reverse into tight spaces with the combination of rear parking sensors and rearview camera images that can be conveniently viewed on your SYNC infotainment screen.

Lane Keep Assist

Ranger uses a camera to scan the road ahead for lane markings to detect if your pick-up truck is drifting out of the lane. The feedback you’ll feel through the steering wheel will alert you when your Ranger drifts from the lane, and a steering aid will guide you back to the centre of the lane.

Semi-Auto Active Park Assist

Have trouble with parallel parking? No worries. With the press of a button, Ranger’s semi-auto active park assist can detect a parking spot big enough for your truck and automatically steers itself into place.

Driver Alert System Coffee Cup

Ranger monitors you’re driving behaviour and detects if you are showing any signs of fatigue. A forward-facing camera calculates your vigilance level based on the vehicle position within the lane. If Ranger detects you are becoming less and less vigilant, an audible chime and a coffee cup logo will appear in the instrument cluster, suggesting the driver take a break.

Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection

AEB can avoid a collision with a vehicle or pedestrian using advanced camera technology by pre-charging the brakes for increased braking power and response. Ranger can also automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision with a vehicle or pedestrian at speeds over 3.6km/h.

[1] ADAS features may vary on the specific Ranger Variant. Please check your local Ford website or visit your preferred Ford dealership for more details.

[2] ADAS features do not replace the driver and are driver aids. Always drive safely and follow local road laws.
