Ford unleashes thrilling new Mustang Dark Horse SC model

GTD's road-biased brother gets 5.2-litre V8, but there's no news on UK sales

FORD’S Mustang muscle car comes in a variety of flavours these days - from the various V8 sports car options to the all-electric Mach-E. Now there's a new model to sit below the outrageous, track-focused GTD, and it’s called the Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC.

The latest Mk7 Mustang has shown its penchant for circuit driving by setting a blistering Nürburgring lap time in range-topping GTD guise. The new Dark Horse SC version looks to take the GTD's ferocity and package it into a slightly more accessible, road-biased form. It’s positioned as an alternative to the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3, BMW M4 CSL and its American arch-rival, the Corvette.
