The 1993 Ford Mustang Mach III is a two-seater concept car first shown at the 1993 Detroit Motor Show.

The Mach III was an insight into the MkIV Mustang which was released a year later with a few changes from the Mach III concept.

It is powered by a V8 engine that has a flexible fuel capability, allowing it to run on M85 gasoline.

Need for Speed II[]

The Mustang Mach III appears in the Special Edition re-release of Need for Speed II.

Grouped in Class C alongside the Ferrari 355 F1, Italdesign Calà and Lotus Esprit V8, it has noticeably good acceleration but is very prone to spinning out through corners.

Description

Ford developed the striking Mach III as a racy roadster with a striking appearance, gave it a powerful name and performance to match – it promises excitement and keeps that promise.

The futuristic Mach III was inspired by Mustangs of the past, including the original 1964 and a half pony car – look closely and you'll find hints of the Mustang heritage in the open nose grille, tail lamps, air scoops, and steering wheel, but the rest of the car is all 1990s, and beyond – body panels are of space-age carbon fiber, and the windshield looks as though it would be at home on a jet fighter.

Flexible fuel capability allows the Mach III to run on either gasoline or M85 – a blend of 85 percent methanol and 15% unleaded gasoline – or any combination of the two.

Sculptured lines add to a bang up-to-date look. No Mustang would be complete without a potent engine, and the Mach III delivers. An on-board computer automatically adjusts engine operation for optimum performance. The 4.6 liter four-cam V8 with supercharger intercooled by a cold pack manifold pumps out a solid 450 horsepower. Take it to the drag strip and rocket to 60 miles per hour in less than four and a half seconds.

Already features from this concept pony car have been picked up for the current Mustang range, and others may appear in the future. Will we see a Mustang with carbon fiber panels one day? It's more than possible as we near the turn of the century.
