Unlike Many Limited Edition Cars

The Mach 1 returned in 2003 as a high performance version of the Mustang. The Mach 1 wasdiscontinued again after the 2004 model year as the SN-95 platform was replaced by the newer S197 platform for the 2005 model year. The name "mach 1" as used by Ford was originally introduced in 1959 on a concept "Levacar" originally shown in the Ford Rotunda. This concept "vehicle" utilized a cushion of air as propulsion on a circular dais. This concept vehicle was orange and white. The Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964 as a sporty "pony car" to attract younger buyers into Ford products. After only a few short years of development, Ford saw the need to create performance Mustangs to compete with GM and their release of the Chevrolet Camaro andPontiac Firebird. During the 1990s, the preeminent performance Mustang was the SVT Cobra. 2004 saw only minor cosmetic changes to the Mach 1. 2004 Mach 1s can be identified by bare aluminium finished valve covers, as opposed to the 2003's black finished covers. Outside, 2004 Mach 1's wear 40th anniversary tags ahead of the doors while the 2003 has the traditional Mustang Running Pony and Tri-Color bar. The lone interior change was the deletion of the overhead "cargo net" mounted on the headliner. Despite pre-production rumors, the horsepower and torque ratings were not increased in 2004. At 305 hp (228 kW) and 320 lbf路ft (430 N路m), many observers believed the motors to be underrated. Chassis dynomometers typically hold stock 2003 and 2004 cars at 275-285 rwhp and 295-305 rwtrq (SAE). With a drivetrain loss of 15% this equates to 323-335 hp and 345-360 lbf路ft (465-490 N路m) of torque. Unlike many limited edition cars, 2003 Mach 1 owners had a variety of stand out colors from which to choose.

Jamil - That's something you need to take up with the panel of judges. I agree with you, the original gullwing Merc is a definite favourite of mine too. 300 sl gullwing came out in 1954 and if you just look at the shape of the body and imagining it rolling down a street in 1954! It must have looked like it had dropped from outer space when people saw this car! 1954 would have probably been confronted by a crowd of people questioning him where he could have possibly got this car from! Lotus' being on this list nor a couple others. But the Etype or the Miura are my favs of the list. To me the Ferrari 275 GTB Long Nose is the most beautiful car. It is the only car I would sell my soul for! Megejas - I thought that when I first saw this list.

I suspect the panel for Classic and Sports Car Magazine had it sitting at number 11 because it is a beautiful car! And where is Alfa Romeo 33 stradale? FORD GT 40 some ferraris some lambos some corvettes etc etc etc but those named here O my god what a taste. 1967 ford thunderbird 428 (7100cc) or in the 1971 ford mustang mach 1, preferably with the 351 cleveland cobra jet engine. GT, the lamborghini murcielago (ugh. 1, theres also beautiful not expensive either fast cars. Seems strange that the only cars in the Top 10 are 'classics', does that mean not a single car designed in the last 40 years are beautiful enough for this list? 912, built 1965-1969? i think its an oldies but goldies car. I really like that red one,color and engine like a great combination.Sweet looking ride! Looking forward to such a info in future!

Ferrari 250GTO/Jag XJ13/Mercedes SSK/Cisitalia/Bugatti Royal Berlin de Voyage/Alfa 8c 2900/Alfa Tipo Stradale 33 etc etc, these are absolute world bests ever I suppose. Lotus Elite/Ferrari 250GT SWB/Jag XK120/Miura I agree..! I know picking 10 cars is hard, but I believe your list is a little to Lotus and Ferrari loaded. I have to admit the Miura is a great pick. The e-Type is a classic. However, two Lotus', two Jags and 3 Ferrari's. The DS is a nice touch, even so I would have picked the convertible and really don't consider the DS a sports car, oh well. However, what about a Delaheya, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, Porsche 911 (or 356), Lancia Fulvia or Alfa Montreal. Are these the ugliest or most beautiful cars of the world. It's the former, I guess. The Citroen DS is one of the best due to its suspension which was for the time an ingenious idea!
