2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1: ultimate 'missing features' specification botch | Auto Expert John Cadogan

Ford can’t even get the basic specs on a limited edition 2021 Mustang Mach 1 right. Pretty embarrassing, considering that’s their job...

They initially promised (on the website and in a run of ill-conceived brochures) that the limited edition Mach 1 would feature inclusions like a Torsen limited slip differential, radar cruise control, and rear parking sensors. The only problem is: It won’t. The ACCC says there’s a legislated consumer guarantee of ‘acceptable quality’ which ensures products - including cars: “Must match descriptions made by the salesperson, on packaging and labels, and in promotions or advertising.” If they don’t, you are entitled to a remedy, including repair, replacement, or refund, and in some cases compensation for damages or loss (such as a reduction in value). These omissions in the Mach 1 are significant. This is a car costing about $90,000 by the time you get it on the road. Customers are of course fuming - and you would be, too, I’d suggest. See, regular ‘poverty’ Mustang gets rear sensors and adaptive cruise, which seems like a slap in the chops. Additionally, Mach 1 owners find themselves stuck with the standard LSD in lower priced Mustangs. I would have wanted that superior Torsen diff. I hardly think I’m a voice in the wilderness on this... Mach 1 - just 700 are on the way here, and deliveries have already commenced - also misses out on fog lamps. So that’s a nice touch. In ‘Murica, perversely, you can have a red or yellow Mach 1. Not here. Ditto rear cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring. Crickets on that, also. And of course, in ‘Murica there’s a handling package with unique 19-inch alloys, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, adjustable strut mounts, front splitter and special rear spoiler, which you also cannot have here. We do get the same 5.0-litre Coyote atmo V8 as ‘Muricans - but in a unique state of ‘Strayan tune, pumping out 13kW and 14Nm less than that available up north. A Ford spin doctor said: "The Mustang Mach 1 is a purpose built product with a singular aim – to be the ultimate driving Mustang on the road and track." Obviously that’s ‘ultimate’ - in the context of being subject to the lack of adaptive cruise, which (let’s not forget) is standard in a $35,000 Kia Cerato GT (ditto the parking sensors). And ‘ultimate’ subject to not making as much power as in ‘Murica, and not having the ultimate handling package, or the best diff, or fog lamps, or those advanced safety features. Or the same colour palette. But aside from that, yeah. Absolutely. The ultimate. There is, of course, an explanation for some of this: "Uniquely engineered parts, which are designed to improve downforce and cooling on the Mach 1, unfortunately mean that the vehicle does not feature Adaptive Cruise Control or audible rear sensors while parking." Ford is a company with 190,000 employees, making 5.5 million vehicles a year and raking in $156 million (US dollars) in revenue. And it does business everywhere on earth (except of course Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Sudan and Japan). An organisation with these resources could remedy this situation. They’ve just taken the decision not to bother. In perspective, that’s exactly how ‘special’ you are to Ford as a Mach 1 customer in ‘Straya. In a rather poor effort to wipe the egg off its face here, Ford ‘Straya is going to offer Mach 1 customers three free services and a track day. You’ll probably have to sign something waiving your consumer rights. That’s a guess. This is probably the most noteworthy Mustang limited-edition release of recent years. Just not that collectible, I suppose. Probably not a resale value superstar, either. Please accept my apology if you bought one. Nobody deserves that. I’m sure your mates aren’t giving you endless grief about it at all...
