Some more special features of the Mach five were:
1) A remote control bird that was launched from out of the hood.
2) I'm not sure about self sealing tires but I know one of the features
   put special gripping material around the tires for extra traction.

Also the wings that were mentioned were not a standard feature. They were
put on the Mach five when pictures taken by Spridel revealed that the car
acrobatic team car's had wings underneath them to assist in jumping. I'm
not sure if this feature was used in subsequent episodes.

Trivia question: What was the Mamouth Car made of?
                 What is the code or serial number of the most powerful
                 engine ever constructed?
