Richard Hammond drives the new Ford Mustang Mach 1

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.

"I'm heading to Ford's top secret test facility... Just off the A127 next to Billericay Town Football Club" ahh, never gets old

[holdenmcgroin]

“Professional driver, do not attempt”
Its Hammond, you dont need to tell people what to do

Makes you realize how much you miss actual car segments on Grand Tour. The adventure stuff is fantastic but "car go vroom" segments are great too.

Hammond: "Professional Driver"
Also Hammond: *pokes fun at himself for his dragster crash*

[tommyc]

"Do not attempt"... What a shame, I was literally just about to whip my unreleased Mustang out of the garage.

[apostateanswers]

“Professional driver; flies off the barrier”

[stevenyerry]

“Professional driver” with multiple emergency helicopters on stand by

[JRC]

As nice as the Mach 1 is, I'd rather have Richard's Fastback. Preferably *before* he crashes it.

Please do this more, the grand tour having one episode per year isn’t gonna cut it.

[Andysalive]

This "secret facility" joke never gets old.

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.

Hammond: *Wears Helmet*
His Insurance Company: *Breaths heavily*

[JaspervdLugt]

I'm always happy to be reminded of the old top gear vibes

[Biorx]

As Jeremy would say: dont worry about getting in the car on the wrong side... you'll be on the right side when it's up side down. ;-)

Today on Bottom Gear:
Horse go very fast
Hammond doesn’t crash
And jams calls Hammond American multiple times

[cobalt]

90% of comments are just bullying Hammond

I build these at Flat Rock Assembly in Michigan. I've help build over a million Mustangs since we got them in 2004. It was sad to see the GT-350 and Bullitt leave in December, but nice to see the Mach 1 return!

[ferdikowisk]

I’m a thousand times more interested in his 67

[loonatticat]

Q: How’s the Mach 1 Tires?
Hammond: “Ruined.”

[buckykattguitar]

That 67 is well put together...the sound of that door closing....
