The Mustang Dark Horse SC was developed by engineers who live their lives at racing circuits, and that track-first mentality is woven into every bolt and calibration of this car.
This Mustang Dark Horse SC is a track-focused, supercharged 5.2L V8 muscle car producing over 700 horsepower (speculated up to 800+ hp). Positioned between the Dark Horse and GTD, it features a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, MagneRide suspension, and optional Track Pack, which offers 620lbs of downforce
By utilising carbon-fiber wheels, and Brembo carbon-ceramics, 150 pounds of weight was stripped from the Track Package. Standard steel suspension components were replaced with forged links and added a lightweight magnesium strut tower brace to sharpen steering feel and reduce unsprung mass.
The new aluminium hood features a massive vent that improves powertrain cooling and helps manage front-end dynamics. When the hood vent tray is removed, it creates 2.5 times the downforce of the standard Mustang Dark Horse hood vent, while the Mustang Dark Horse SC with Track Pack’s carbon-fiber wing helps generate a staggering 620 pounds of rear downforce at 180 mph.
To ensure the driver can actually harness this capability, a Variable Traction Control system with five distinct levels has been integrated, in addition to fully deactivated ESC, to dial in the desired amount of traction assistance.
The result is a vehicle that sits in the top tier of the Mustang stable which is between the Mustang Dark Horse Performance Package and the Mustang GTD.
