Ford Mustang Dark Horse performance review

The Ford Mustang Dark Horse represents a high-performance evolution of the seventh-generation Mustang, maintaining the traditional formula of a large, rear-wheel-drive sports car with a large atmospheric V8 engine.

Equipped with a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine, the Dark Horse produces 454 CV and 540 Nm of torque. The manual version features a TREMEC TR-3160 gearbox with a rev-matching function. Performance specifications include an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 263 km/h.

To enhance handling, the vehicle includes MagneRide adaptive dampers, an independent rear suspension, and reinforced stabilizer bars. Braking is provided by six-piston Brembo brakes. Aesthetic upgrades distinguish the model, including a unique front grille, prominent side skirts, a fixed rear spoiler, and darkened LED elements.
