The Mach 5 does not, but the Mach 6 does. In a nutshell, any car that enters a WRL track race must have a T-180 wheelbase. The difference is further explained in the Speed Racer: Supercharged featurette that comes with every version of the Speed Racer DVD. Due to the highly compressed time frame - possibly as little as a week - in which the Fuji track race, the Casa Cristo and the Grand Prix occur, the Racer Motors team has not had time to rebuild the Mach 6. Speed's track car, the Mach 6, was destroyed in the crash at the Fuji Helexicon. In 2008, under its Americanized title, Speed Racer, Mach GoGoGo was republished in its entirety in the United States by Digital Manga Publishing and was released as a box set to commemorate the franchise's 40th anniversary, as well as serving as a tie-in with the 2008 film. The Grand Prix, however, is a track race. Speed races the Mach 5 in the Casa Cristo 5000 because that race is a cross-country rally. Additionally, all wheels are capable of turning independently, allowing the car to maintain forward motion no matter which way it faces, as well as to "drift" and spin while retaining a great deal of control. They are single-seaters with rocket engines capable of speeds in excess of 400 MPH. The Mach 4 and Mach 6 (both versions) are T-180 track cars that have several key differences from street cars. The Mach 5 is a street-registered car built for rallies and other road races.
