Richard Hammond drives the new Ford Mustang Mach 1
Motor
We all know Richard Hammond loves a Ford Mustang, so we decided to give him a proper treat - a test track all to himself, and the brand new Mustang Mach 1. Being the most track-focussed Mustang Ford has ever brought to European soil, the scene was set for Richard to have some serious fun.
This video was made in partnership with Ford UK.

Wow, Hammond looks like he is morphing into AL Pacino.
I think I would rather have his '67.
It has the steering wheel on the correct side. It has the wrong exhaust that is only available in the UK. The right exhaust is only available in North America.
Why does everyone always dodge the mpg question lol. Ford, and other manufacturers have made it so that you can have your cake and eat it too. Sure it doesn’t compare to a 4 cylinder econobox, but the old ideas of big v8s not allowing decent mpg is outdated. Mach 1 is 15 city and 23 hwy. other 5.0 offerings are roughly the same, getting 24-25. Even beyond that though, many builders have made 4-500hp v8 powered vehicles that can manage 19-21.
He's american
My hero!
oh and Richard, which brand of hair and beard dye do you use, none of the brands I've tried work very well
I'm a Brit now living in the US, cars like these seem very glamorous in the UK but are ten a penny here (obviously), can be picked up for next to nothing, after all at the end of the day it's just a Ford.
A Honda Civic will spin circles around fat slug
i agree that it may still have the spirit but i feel the shape has been ruined as its now the size of a small SUV but still a coupe. maybe thats just what the future looks like but i dont like it if thats the case. just an opinion, take it with a grain of salt.
I drove a new GT and a Ferrari California Spyder within a week of each other and was shocked at how close they are to each other in driving dynamics. This is why marketing is paramount for some companies.
Anybody know the paint code?
He of all people should have proper seatbelts fitted to his car!
I like how he's kept his 68 Mustang after all these years
Does it have ISOFIX?
Shame the MACH 1 is so slow.. 4.4sec and top speed of 155?? I hope it's cheap at least. Something here needs to make sense. A Focus RS does better numbers than this.. for way less money. I'm so confused.
The 2012- 2013 Boss 302's are still the best NA Mustangs.... I think.
67 is blessed number in Egypt 👌😇💚😂😂😂😂😉🛩️
"A bit more science to do". Ah, the things we do for science
WHAT A BEAST! I recently Ranked my TOP 5 Muscle Cars on my channel, check it out!
“Mack 1”
What does do not attempt mean? Not drive?
Does it come in ...black
Nomatter what they might build in the future,nothing will ever compare to that '67 fastback of yours !! Great going man!
Richard's voice in the background while a preview of the car is given... Oh Brings Back Memories...
I love american cars, but I have to admit, germans make way more efficient engines. Though may not be as reliable... but take am m5 for example.
Mack 1 HAHAHA
I love his laugh at the end
mach1 looks stunning
I'm eating a chocolate from my secret stash, just from the coffee table in the lounge
Really only 450hp tf why
I love the way that the Mach 1's rear end just whips around in Richard's Loop
Someone had fun.
They should have gone electric or hybrid, give it some serious power? 🤔
Mustang will always be Mustang.
i miss the trio together.
Tony Stark drives Mustang! :-D

I agree with you and welcome to my channel about cars
now that the grand tour is over as we know it they only do specials which I still like they should all 3 Clarkson, Hammond, and may review cars on youtube more often like they did on the original show and maybe still have a lap board
Wish it had real fogs
2:02 Is that Bellular? WTH?!
It's not a Mach 1 without the Shaker Hood.
Do all these people complaining about no shaker realize that it would offer no performance gain and would alter aerodynamics? Why would you want that on a track car?
That 67 is well put together...the sound of that door closing....
Never been into American cars, can see anything changing any time soon.. 🤢🤢
This package is gonna be over 60k for basically a gt with stripes and cosmetic work. What a joke for that price a shelby gt350 its by a far a better choice. The mustang was supposed to be an affordable american muscle car..... not anymore
I’m not impressed ...where’s the shaker ...it just other mustang with a different badge

I suggest reading and/or listening.
It’s pronounced mawk not Mack
3:43 "Professional driver" Me: *Laughs in Swedish accident* Also Me: *Laughs in Jeremy Clarkson and James May*
Meh!!
I would pay to watch Ham drive the GT 350
the UK only gets 454hp? We get 480!!
Planet twisting 390ft lbs? My company truck has 1035ft lb. So it should destroy the planet whenever I start it.
Liked the video before watching it. That's the amount of trust I have for in Hammond's review.
They look sweet. But I still think they look the same over the last 10 years or so. The body lines are nice though.
I really enjoyed Hammond’s review of the Mack 1 and I’m sure certain bits are made of Alum In I um ,but it still won’t keep up with the porch GT3 especially driven anti-clockwise LOL
nice editing, but definitely needs an aftermarket exhaust !
Ford: K so basically pretty much nobody's been able to drive this car yet so take it out for youtube and do some test runs with it Hammond: *8*
So they didn't go with the 69 or 71 hood... Why Ford???
The invincible physician greely mark because drawbridge yearly remind behind a economic friend. fanatical, faded partridge
Try not to flip this one.
Does Hammond get jokes lol🤣😅 I think he does but pretends not to... lol
Professional crash artist more like
now get them to spit out the top speed with the governor turned off. Ford loves governing their vehicles to 155 for some reason.
Hammond u really r the hamster? 😉 Do u have pet hamster ? And when is the *new Grand Tour* coming 🤣
Misleading title. Richard Hammond drives Mach 1, then the disclaimer, professional driver on closed course. So who did drive the Mach 1?
The new Mustang is lovely but... the old one from 69 has something
What I love about The Mustang is how it’s an underdog that punches above its weight class. It was the leather jacketed street tough that could win against professionally trained fighters. When you look at the donor platforms: Fairmont/Sierra, Falcon, (I guess I have to mention the Pinto) it’s a working class hero... until it received a Jaguar chassis.
No functioning hood scoop 🙄
They should've given it a shaker scoop like the '69, lol.
Dear Mr Hammond. If the Mustang is a road car, and it's agreed normal drivers won't need a crash helmet to drive it, ... why do you need to wear one?
I hope the paint on the hood does not peel like on my Mustang GT, Expedition and Explorer Sport. Ford wont do anything for the customer. PS They didn't do right by me after buying a new 2006 Ford GT with the 4 options Like Jeremy Clarkson used to own Supercar either. All of my Fords have had to go back many times for different recalls except my 1969 Shelby. Cheers.
68
But I like this new Mach 1, definitely is a real callback to the old one
One thing I love *sadistic evil laugh* that they run crowds down ...HAHAHAHAHAHA ok for real tho, that stereotype is probably dead
If Richard Hammond can oblige, he could also be part of the 2 Pope. And he'd be part of another trio.
wish it had the original shaker hood
Planet twisting 390 FTLB of torque? Doesn't the regular mustangs have more power than that? Even my Challenger had 475 before I started playing with it.
It's not a Bullitt though is it?
Not bad.
Maserati clone from McDonald
Way more interested in his 67 fastback but the new Mach 1 is beautiful
I’m actually surprised that no one mentions the ICONIC mustang on the grill that has been there for decades
the same boring interior since 2015.......... time for a much needed refresh. less cheap plastic. more premium. more leather wrapped around the cheapo plastic bits. etc.
Q: How much does it oversteer? A: YES! *screeeeeeeeech*
Professional crasher* 😂
540hp but it only does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds... Is this because they re-geared it for better mpg?
Mack 1?
I like the old one more
"Professional driver"
Nice mustang 😻
Smiles per gallon buds
He does look older with his helmet on.
A Mach1 without a shaker hood is just another fast Mustang.
I like the shape, wheels everything. I just don’t like the orange and gray decals everywhere
Was Hammond really just called a professional driver? 😂😂😂
NOlocal forgot to put the skip button on this advert...
I will wait to the 7.3 Godzilla engine appears in a striped down poverty pack. Like the old factory “drag packages” from the late 60s, will be a long wait unfortunately:(
loved the way you ended the test; Smoking!
