{{nihongo|'''''Mach GoGoGo'''''|マッハGoGoGo|Mahha GōGōGō}}, sometimes referred to as {{nihongo|'''''New Mach GoGoGo'''''|新・マッハGoGoGo|Shin Mahha GōGōGō}}, is a 1997 [[remake]] of the 1967 anime series of the same name (aired as ''[[Speed Racer]]'' in the U.S.) by [[Tatsunoko Production]], the original producers. The show aired in [[Japan]] in 1997 on [[TV Tokyo]] and lasted only 34 episodes of a planned 52.

In 1998, Speed Racer Enterprises planned to release an [[English (language)|English]] dub of the series in the [[United States]] as '''''Speed Racer Y2K''''', though the project did not succeed and only the third episode, "Silver Phantom", was dubbed.<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2008/05/13/the-aftermath-of-speed/ |title=The Aftermath of Speed |website=Scifijapan.com |access-date=2016-01-18 |archive-date=2016-10-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026093239/http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2008/05/13/the-aftermath-of-speed/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Another English adaptation, '''''Speed Racer X''''', was produced by [[DIC Entertainment|DIC Entertainment Corporation]] & Speed Racer Enterprises and aired in the United States on [[Nickelodeon]]'s short-lived action block, "SLAM!", in 2002.<ref>{{cite book |last=Erickson |first=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=774–776}}</ref> This show was quickly taken off the air (with only 13 episodes dubbed) due to a lawsuit between DiC Entertainment and the Santa Monica-based Speed Racer Enterprises, the company which owned the American rights to the franchise at the time.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kroll |first=Justin |url=https://variety.com/2003/biz/news/dic-takes-speed-to-court-1117885056/ |title=DIC takes 'Speed' to court |publisher=Variety |date=2003-04-23 |access-date=2013-09-06 |archive-date=2013-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130924205919/http://variety.com/2003/biz/news/dic-takes-speed-to-court-1117885056/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The series got a [[Blu-ray]] release in Japan on April 21, 2017.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fandompost.com/2017/02/13/mach-gogogo-1997-anime-series-gets-blu-ray-release/ |title='Mach GoGoGo' 1997 Anime Series Gets Blu-ray Release |date=13 February 2017 |publisher=The Fandom Post |access-date=2017-05-23}}</ref> [[Funimation]] released the series under the name '''''Mach GoGoGo: Restart''''' with English subtitles.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.funimation.com/blog/2017/08/12/announced-otakon-2017/|title=Announced at Otakon 2017! - Funimation - Blog!|website=FUNimation|date=2017-08-12|access-date=2017-08-24|archive-date=2017-08-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170813060213/https://www.funimation.com/blog/2017/08/12/announced-otakon-2017/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Differences from the original series==
In this version, Rex Racer does not run away, but is presumed dead after an accident while testing out the Mach 5. His father, Pops, later rebuilds the Mach 5 with a new safety system called "Safety Seven", seven functions built into the car to protect the driver, marked by the letters A through G on the steering wheel. Rex's younger brother and Pops' second son, Speed, decides to follow up in his brother's footsteps. Trixie appears in this series as a reporter who befriends Speed, with Spritle being her younger brother (as opposed to being Speed's younger brother in the original).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tatsunoko.co.jp/english/box09.html#2|title=Tatsunoko Pro|work=[[Tatsunoko Production]]|access-date=2017-05-23|archive-date=2017-05-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170526112535/http://www.tatsunoko.co.jp/english/box09.html#2|url-status=live}}</ref>

There are also differences that exist even in the original Japanese version. Aside from Gō's different surname (Hibiki), other characters were replaced entirely, but have similar roles. For instance, Mai Kazami is the "Michi Shimura" (the original Trixie) of this series, with her younger brother Wataru representing "Kurio Mifune" (the original Spritle). Although Pops is still called Daisuke, Mom Racer (Aya Mifune in the original) is now known as Misuzu. In Episode 20, a baby gorilla named Rocky joins the cast, taking the role that in the original series was held by Sanpei, or Chim-Chim in the English dub. Sabu, Pops' apprentice mechanic and friend to Go in the original series has been replaced by Takumi, who has the same role. The English dub uses the same names from the original ''Speed Racer'' English dub, though the family's team is still called "Hibiki Motors".

The first 21 episodes form a story arc focusing on the Earth Grand Prix and the events leading up to it. The next 13 episodes formed a new story arc involving [[time traveling]]. When the Mach 5 hits 555&nbsp;km/h, it sends Speed and his friends to the year 2555 where the world is ruled by a blue-skinned alien named Handler, who plans to use a device called the Ezekiel Wheel to rule time.<ref name="auto"/>
