Mach 1 (2008 continuity)


 * For other uses of "Mach 1", see Mach 1

The Mach 1 is a vehicle featured in The Wonderful World of Racing - The Amazing Racer Family, a fake documentary made to promote the 2008 Speed Racer film.

Technical Details
According to Spritle, the car featured an "odd shade of carbon injectors that decreased the friction between the firing chambers and the cylinders", an innovative design element that set the car apart from others of the time.

Background
The Mach 1 was the first car in what would be known as the "Mach" series, built by Pops Racer under his Racer Motors marque.

The car was driven at the Vanderbilt Cup at the hands of driver Digger Jones. However, it ended up DNF'ing after Jones' driving, plus "those darned hairpin turns" at the race course, led to the gearbox being stripped.

Trivia

 * In The Amazing Racer Family, the vehicle originated as a concept design for the Mach 5 and was repurposed as the Mach 1 by putting a number 1 in place of the number 5.
