Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC: The Supercharged Track Monster Rivaling the Shelby GT500

Ford unveiled the Mustang Dark Horse SC at the Detroit Auto Show, a supercharged 5.2‑liter V‑8 rival to the Shelby GT500. It adds weight-saving measures (carbon-fiber wheels, forged suspension) and aero updates for up to 620 pounds of downforce at 180 mph, with horsepower not officially disclosed but expected near 800 hp. Pricing hasn’t been announced, though it’s likely above the base Mustang; orders begin in March and deliveries are planned for this summer, with track-focused performance likely to be seen by fall.
