Remaining faithful to its name, the Dark Horse is an unexpected addition to the Mustang lineup, arriving earlier than expected. Essentially, it functions as a performance package for an already high-performance vehicle. While it may not possess the same level of power or exotic allure as the Shelby GT350 or GT500, it follows in the footsteps of the 2023 Mustang Mach 1, equipping you with all the necessary components for dominating track days and high-octane driving events.
Under the hood of the Mustang Dark Horse lies a formidable 5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine, churning out an impressive 500 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse propels the Darkhorse from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 4.1 seconds, while it conquers the quarter-mile in just 12.5 seconds. With such performance credentials, it’s evident that the Dark Horse is not just a horse in name but a true stallion on the road.
When it comes to transmission, drivers have the choice between a standard six-speed manual, known for its precision thanks to the Tremec unit, or the optional 10-speed automatic, offering seamless gear changes to complement the driving experience.
