The Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC is an extensively modified version of the standard car. Picture: Ford Following the success of the Mustang Dark Horse, Ford Racing has unveiled its new Mustang Dark Horse SC. Designed, engineered and made in-house, this is the most advanced, powerful and track-ready Dark Horse yet.
The Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC borrows tech and know-how from the Mustang GT3 and GTD, so it feels more like a race car you can drive on the street than a regular Mustang. It’s not quite as hardcore as the exclusive Mustang GTD track weapon, but it’s a big step up from the standard Dark Horse in horsepower, torque and performance options. Under the hood is a 566kW supercharged 5.2 litre V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission for quick shifts.
The Ford Racing engineers have reworked almost everything from the engine, gearbox, aero, cooling, brakes, suspension tuning and steering feel to even the tyres. Next-gen MagneRide dampers come standard with upgraded hardware and software, plus firmer springs, new stabiliser bars, updated knuckles and revised control arms. Forged suspension links and a magnesium strut tower brace cut weight and sharpen steering feel.
