Ford's Mustang Dark Horse SC packs a hand-assembled 5.2-liter supercharged V8 producing 795 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque, developed with the GTD and GT3 for track use.

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.
