The Mach is a racing car loaded with a new engine "X" specially developed and built by a man named Kenich Hibiki who was a racing driver as well as a motor engineer. However, in a test driving made prior to its completion, he was involved in an accident and judged as dead. Meanwhile his father Daisuke who was watching the test driving all the way recovered the wrecked car as his son`s memento. A few years later the damaged car rebuilt by him revives as the new Mach which comes to participate in Grand Prix. This time, however, for the purpose to protect the driver from a possible accident, the new car is equipped with a safety system called "Safety Seven" with seven guarding devices. Also, it is loaded with the engine "X" that miraculously survived the tragic accident. Now its driver is Go, younger brother of Kenichi, who is determined to succeed to his brother`s will. In fact, he successfully participates in Grand Prix and keeps growing up to be a top racer of the world.

Where it came from
Speed Racer X was produced by TV Tokyo in 1997 as a modernized revival of the classic 1960s anime series, Mach GoGoGo. Intended to capitalize on the enduring popularity of the original property, the series sought to update the aesthetic and narrative pacing for a late-nineties audience while retaining the core focus on high-stakes automobile racing.
The character designs and animation style underwent significant shifts to reflect contemporary trends in Japanese animation, moving away from the simplified lines of the sixties original toward a more angular, digital-influenced appearance. Despite the ambition behind its production, the series struggled to replicate the cultural impact of its predecessor and remains a distinct, albeit polarizing, entry in the franchise history.
