Ford Unveils 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC: A Track-Ready Bridge to Ford Performance

Ford introduces the 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC Coupe as a track-focused bridge between the standard Dark Horse and Ford’s GTD/GT3 programs, featuring a supercharged 5.2L V8 with a seven-speed dual-clutch, reworked MagneRide suspension, five-level variable traction control, aero borrowed from GTD including an aluminum hood and rear ducktail, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and optional Track Pack with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R tires and carbon-fiber wheels. The interior remains driver-centric with a flat-bottom wheel, Recaro seats, Alcantara/Dinamica accents, and rear-seat removal for weight reduction. Slated for summer availability, the SC emphasizes engineering depth and motorsport lineage over marketing spectacle.
