While it doesn’t exactly have the heritage of the Shelby GTs, Ford does explain its 2021 Mustang Mach 1 is the “most track-capable member of the Mustang line-up to ever grace UK shores.” It’s now available to order, and the first deliveries have been scheduled for June. But you’re not going to like some of the other details. 14 photos
First and foremost, it’s important to note that after the Bullit special edition, the Blue Oval graces the Old Continent (Brexited or not, Great Britain remains an integral part of Europe) with yet another iconic nameplate for the Mustang series.

Are you upset that the modern Ford Bronco doesn t come with a V8 engine? Here s an easy fix for that: buy a first-generation Bronco. It s a cool classic, it s just as capable off the beaten path, and it packs a V8 under the hood. 11 photos
Ford offered the original Bronco with a 4.7-liter V8 rated at 200 horsepower. In 1969, it was enlarged to 4.9 liters, and power increased slightly to 205 horsepower. You can still find first-gen Broncos with their original V8s, but you can also opt for one with a Coyote swap, like this 1972 model that surfaced on Bring a Trailer.

If you re going to buy a first-generation Ford Mustang, you might as well work on the performance side of things and upgrade it so that people won t look at it and call it a secretary s car anymore. Take this 1966 Ford Mustang, for example; it was built with all the proper upgrades necessary to turn it into a driver s car. 25 photos
The project started almost six years ago, and from the very beginning, the owner of Wilwood Engineering wanted a simple yet effective build without going too crazy and straying away from the Mustang look. The project took about two years to be completed, and the plan was to install the newest and best engine available on the market. That just happened to be a Coyote 5.0-Liter V8, with slightly over 400 horsepower on tap, and just 7,500 miles (over 12,000 km) on it.

For the 2011 model year, the second phase of the S197 introduced the Coyote V8 to the most popular pony car of them all. The aluminum heads and block, as well as the DOHC valvetrain, help with performance and efficiency, but the 5.0-liter plant also happens to be very tunable. 11 photos
The aftermarket is rife with go-faster upgrades, and on this particular occasion, we’ll be looking at a highly modified 2011 model with a thumpin’ great turbocharger. In addition to the 94-millimeter compressor wheel, this strip-slaying build includes better cooling and induction as well as upgraded heads and a larger throttle body. Of course, the internals aren’t stock either.
