Ford Mustang Dark Horse
The GT, Mach I, Cobra, Shelby, and Boss 302 have all been recognizable performance versions in the storied Mustang lineage. But for 2024, Ford is preparing an all-new thoroughbred Mustang positioned above the GT. It’s called the Dark Horse. Even though it still needs to prove itself, it is already a contender for one of the best Mustangs ever produced (via Ford).
The Dark Horse is a track-oriented model based on GT. It means it uses the fourth-gen Coyote V8 with double intakes and revised parts but takes it up a notch. The engine used in the Dark Horse has forged internals, new camshafts, electronics, and an even larger intake system. That means it will rev higher and deliver more power than the already potent standard Coyote V8. We expect it to go over 100 HP per liter of displacement, which means that Dark Horse will have over 500 HP on tap.
