2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC Coupe
The Mustang GTD supercar and Mustang GT3 race car represent the pinnacle of Ford's Pony Car lineup. Now the Dark Horse SC Coupe will be right behind them. It was developed in collaboration with Ford Racing and adopts a host of features derived from its more extreme stablemates. Those include a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 R tires on the Track Pack model, and 3D-printed titanium accents. Several aero changes are apparent, including an aluminum hood with a large vent, a revised fascia and underbody venting, and a ducktail-shaped decklid that improves efficiency by 10 percent — enough that the GTD team adopted it as well. Other notable changes include next-generation MagneRide dampers with revised spring rates and knuckles, carbon fiber wheels, a Variable Traction Control system with five distinct levels, a leather-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel, and Alcantara and carbon-fiber accents on the Track Pack, which also gets Recaro leather and Dinamica sport seats and a storage shelf in place of the rear seats. The Mustang Dark Horse SC will be available this summer.
