The Ford Mustang has dominated the pony car market for decades with its unmistakable style and potent performance. Now for 2024, Ford is unleashing its wildest Mustang yet: the sinister new Dark Horse.
This track-focused special edition delivers aggressive styling and a specially tuned 500-horsepower Coyote V8 engine, taking the Mustang excitement to new levels. With cutting-edge performance tech, racy aesthetics, and a surprisingly attainable price tag, the Dark Horse redefines extreme pony car thrills. Even racier is the R version, a limited-production Dark Horse bred just for the track. Ready to run hard and turn heads, the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse represents a bold new chapter for an automotive icon.
V8 Engine Delivering 500 Horsepower
The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse features a beastly 5.0-liter Coyote V8 pumping out 500 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated powerplant borrows strengths from the Mustang GT engine but adds forged internals and a cold-air intake for extra durability and performance. The muscular V8 teams up with either a six-speed manual or 10-speed auto transmission to tame the Dark Horse.
Dark, Edgy Styling Sets It Apart
One glance at the Dark Horse reveals its attitude. The sinister styling starts up front with a blacked-out grille and LED headlights. Aggressive lower fascia, hood vents, side skirts, rear spoiler, and diffuser enhance the muscular stance. Exclusive 19-inch black wheels wrapped in performance tires and quad exhaust tips complete the menacing look. Paint choices are limited to Shadow Black, Oxford White, or Rapid Red - all amplifying the dark persona.
Track-Ready Tech Takes It to the Limit
While the styling ignites emotions, advanced tech equips the Dark Horse to back it up with performance. Adaptive suspension, launch control, and line-lock help tame the beast at the track. A suite of drive modes tailors the exhaust sound, transmission shifts, steering weight, and more for the conditions. Performance instrumentation and tools provide real-time acceleration, g-force, and lap data for drivers pushing the limits.
Premium Interior Brings Comfort with Control
Despite its track focus, the Dark Horse pampers drivers with premium details. Leather seats with color accents and Dark Horse logos coddle occupants while aluminum pedals and carbon fiber accents connect them to the action. Ambient lighting sets the mood, while the 12-inch digital dash, 14-inch touchscreen, and SYNC 4A tech keep drivers informed and entertained on the street or strip.
Aggressive Pricing Puts Pony Car Thrills Within Reach
The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse delivers electrifying performance and exclusive style, all for an attainable price. The manual transmission version starts at $49,995, while the automatic bumps up to $51,495. Considering its custom powertrain, cutting-edge tech, and unique design, the Dark Horse brings coveted pony car excitement within reach. Order banks are open now for delivery in early 2024.
Dark Horse R - A Race-Bred Monster for the Track
Think the Dark Horse is intense? The limited-production Dark Horse R turns things up to 11. This track-only, turn-key race car gets a specially tuned 500-hp V8 engine, racing slicks, and a Recaro seat with a roll cage.
