And the 2021 Mustang lineup as a whole is here with a handful of changes.
Rejoice, pony car fans. The first cars from a limited batch of 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 models is now on its way to dealers, the automaker said on Thursday. The Blue Oval said the first cars left the assembly plant and are en route to dealers as you read this, plus it detailed a few other changes to the 2021 Mustang.
We already know the whole story surrounding the bridge-building Mustang Mach 1, but those shopping other ponies will find some changes. For instance, the latest Mustang Shelby GT500 now features an optional Carbon Fiber Handling Package. As the name implies, it adds, well, carbon fiber and more handling gear. Specifically, the package bundles 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, adjustable strut top mounts, a Gurney flap and more.
For both the standard Mustang and Shelby, buyers can also choose to coat their cars in new Grabber Yellow, Antimatter Blue and Carbonized Gray Metallic paints. The Mustang Mach 1, meanwhile, introduces its exclusive Fighter Jet Gray hue. These aren't major changes, to be sure, but it's always fun to see Ford updating the color palette to keep the Mustang fresh. Grabber Yellow, in particular, looks quite good.
The official build and price tool is live for all Mustang models as of this morning, so you can click through and build your dream 2021 Mustang, should you so desire.
Won’t be long before only leftists will be able to afford ,and allowed, to own cars....
“Carbon fiber” also known as plastic.
That run on batteries.....................
So, what is the sticker on one of these?
Are they a limited edition car that we are going to be seeing only at the Barrett Jackson auctions?
““Carbon fiber” also known as plastic.”
WRONG!
I want one.
“So, what is the sticker on one of these?”
Go to ‘Build Your Own’.
Still based on fossil fuels
Holding out for the 75 volt version.
“Holding out for the 75 volt version.”
?
I can see it already. Speed limits based on how strong the wind is blowing, or how sunny it’s been. “I’m sorry, sir, but you were exceeding the 25 MPH speed limit automatically imposed when average wind speed at the wind farm location nearest your home dropped below 18 MPH. Here’s your ticket.” “$500.00?!? WTH?”
Carbon fiber is more like fiberglass than it is like plastic.
Stay on topic. Don’t hijack.
As I understand it, they took the best of reliability parts from the Shelby/racing parts pin, aka Diff, Trans-Cooler, etc without the Flat-Plane Crank Engine. Reliability / 24 hr endurance platform is what we are looking at.....
Sorry, I must have meant the 88kWh model.

So it appears two models will be available until they phase out the evil petro models. Can hardly wait for the F150 electric.
If it’s not burned it’s not a fossil FUEL. It may be a petroleum product but it’s not a fuel.
I’ll take the one on the left in white. OMG that’s a beautiful car.
There’s no such thing as a fossil fuel.
IIRC, “Carbon fiber” is long strands of carbon embedded in a resin like fiberglass.........................
