Ford’s 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC: Predator V-8, Track Pack, and Serious Track Cred

Ford’s 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC serves as a successor to the Shelby GT500, packing a 5.2-liter supercharged Predator V-8 and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (no manual). A Track Pack adds carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber wheels, and MagneRide dampers, trimming about 120 pounds in unsprung mass and delivering up to 620 pounds of downforce at 180 mph. Aero tweaks, GTD-derived traction-control, and a GTD-inspired chassis upgrade aim the car at European rivals, with exclusive colors and a Track Pack Special Edition planned for launch; price and full specs will be released later.
