The Ford Mustang Dark Horse is the new pony car king.
That focus on track readiness starts under the hood, where a familiar 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine sits, now in its fourth generation. For the Dark Horse, it's packed with a ton of unique components aimed at improving performance, including a tougher set of camshafts, as well as a forged crankshaft and connecting rod setup borrowed right off of the outgoing GT500. Combined with a unique engine calibration, the Dark Horse promises to deliver the most amount of horsepower ever offered by a 5.
While the S650 generation is indeed largely based on the outgoing S550 chassis, Krenz did note that around 85 percent of the car is new. Automakers tend to use a different definition of that word than the rest of us, but the Dark Horse does specifically pack some chassis tweaks for track use. Every Mustang Dark Horse comes equipped with MagneRide shock absorbers, which have been recalibrated for the S650.
“There’s a bit of a theme on this product of what are the best things from our prior Shelby’s that we can bring together,” said Krenz. “It’s always been one of our corporate strategies to develop technology on the pinnacle of our vehicles, and then bring it down and make it more accessible. That’s also why when you introduce a new series like the Dark Horse, you want it to be at the top.
The Ford Mustang Dark Horse will arrive as the range-topping pony car offering sometime next spring, so long as Ford is able to keep its supply chain issues in check. While pricing information has yet to be released, expect the Dark Horse to be priced above the current Mach 1 offerings. We’ll know more about pricing and actual performance metrics as the on-sale date draws nearer.
