Will there be a 2024 Ford Mustang Mach 1? How much will the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach 1 cost?
Unfortunately, no there will not be a 2024 Ford Mustang Mach 1, or at least the name will not live on to 2024. The 2024 trim level above the Mustang GT is the Mustang Dark Horse for the current generation. The idea of the Mustang Mach 1 lives on in the form of the Dark Horse, with a more powerful engine than the GT and more athletic design cues, but the name has changed. The 2023 Mach 1 trim starts at about $57,945 while the 2024 Dark Horse trim starts right around $60,865, making it somewhat more expensive than the previous model year. The 2023 base model Mustang also starts quite a bit cheaper at $29,145 but unfortunately without the 5.0 badge, it might not be as fun to drive as the Mach 1.
Can you still order a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach 1?
Unfortunately, you can no longer order a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach 1, but there are still some in stock nearby. Although you may not be able to order the 2023 Mach 1, you can call us and put an order in for the 2024 Dark Horse Mustang which is one of the best designed Mustangs to date, and comes with all the features you would get with your 2023 Mach 1, but with the newer model year and more modern interior.
The Dark Horse also has a more powerful engine, getting a whopping 500 horsepower over the 2023 V8 Mach 1 which only gets 470 horsepower. The silver lining is, you might not be able to order the Mach 1 from us, but you can get its successor, and you will most likely be happier with the 2024 model year over the 2023.
Is a Mach 1 Mustang Faster than a GT? How Fast is a 2023 Mach 1 Mustang?
The Ford Mach 1 Mustang is faster than the Mustang GT. The 2023 Mach 1 Mustang can go 0 – 60 in just 4.0 seconds. Which is faster than the GT which comes in at 4.4 seconds, and is just a bit slower than the Shelby which comes in at 3.5 seconds for 0 – 60. As we probably won’t be purchasing the Shelby any time soon, the Mach 1 Mustang is a close and less expensive second, which still thrills more than most muscle cars and coupes on the road today. The reason the GT is just a bit slower is mainly because the Mach 1 V8, although the same engine, has a finer tuning and pumps out 20 more horsepower coming in at 470 horsepower.
Is Ford Discontinuing the Mach 1 in 2023?
Ford will be discontinuing the Mach 1 name at the end of 2023 and it is to be replaced by the Mustang Dark Horse trim. The updated 2024 model year Mustang enters a new generation of Mustang that brings the horsepower even higher, and the technology into the cabin. The Mustang will now have available large infotainment screens, and is designed to be just as sleek as it is powerful. Although the Mach 1 is on the outs, we are extremely excited for the Dark Horse.
