Background:
- In the Speed Racer film the Mach 6 is a state of the art T-180 racing car driven by Speed Racer in the World Racing League. After the "accident" during the Fuji Helexicon race Speed, Pops, Sparky and family are left to build a new one from scratch to race in the WRL Grand Prix. The car used in the Speed Racer Film was designed to look like an Indy car or Formula 1 racer. The Mach 6 does not feature the same modifications as the upgraded Mach 5 in the film because aside from auto-jacks, other modifications are highly illegal in the WRL.
- A different version of this car appears in Speed Racer - The Next Generation driven by Speed Racer Jr. The Mach 5 in this show needed to be modernized, and with a little work, Speed Racer Jr. had the Mach 5.
