新奇事件簿 经典回归 福特野马Mach 1（在线收听）

The U.S. motor vehicle manufacturer Ford Motor Company is bringing back its legendary Mustang Mach 1 car. The classic, high-power sports car was first produced in 1964. It is one of the most famous and recognisable cars ever produced. It has starred in many movies, such as "Bullitt" in 1968 and "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" in 2006. It has also played a central role in many American TV shows. The new Mach 1 has a V-8, 5.0-litre high-performance engine. Prices will start from $36,725. A Ford spokesman said: "Mach 1 has a special place in Mustang history. Like the original, the all-new Mustang Mach 1 will be true to its heritage. It will deliver great looks and be the best racing Mustang ever."

The Mustang was developed as a stylish, sporty, open-top convertible in 1964. Managers at Ford originally predicted it would sell 100,000 of the cars a year. However, the Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the Ford Model A in 1927. Ford sold over 400,000 Mustangs in 1965 and recorded sales of over one million a year later. The car's sporty looks made it very popular. This led to other car makers producing what people called "muscle cars". These included the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. A car analyst said: "The heritage of the Mach 1 invokes a sense of speed." Ford is hoping the new Mustang Mach 1 will stay in people's hearts and add to its long history.

美国汽车制造商特汽车公司将重新推出其传奇款野马Mach 1。这款经典的大功率跑车首产于1964年，是有史以来最出名且最容易辨认的车之一。其曾在多部电影中亮相，如1968年的《警网铁金刚》以及2006年的《速度与激情3:东京漂移》。它还是很多美国电视节目里的主角。新款Mach 1搭载搭5.0升V8动力高性能发动机。其售价为36,725美元起。福特发言人表示：“Mach 1在野马历史上有着特殊地位。和初代一样，这款全新的野马Mach 1将忠实于它的传统。它将是有史以来外观最佳，性能最棒的野马赛车。”

1964年，野马被开发成一款时尚、运动型敞篷车。最初，福特的管理层预计该款车的年销量将达到10万辆。但野马成为自1927年福特Model A以来最成功的车。1965年，福特卖出了40万辆野马，一年后创下了100多万辆的销量记录。这款车的运动性外观使它很受欢迎。这导致其他汽车制造商生产出人们所说的“肌肉车”。其中包括雪佛兰科迈罗以及庞蒂亚克火鸟。一位汽车分析师说：“Mach 1的传统唤起了一种速度感。”福特希望新款野马Mach 1将留在人们的心中，并未其悠长的历史添上一笔。
