Looking for a dynamic blend of performance and daily usability in your Mustang? Enter the Dark Horse, drawing parallels with the S197-based Boss 302. This variant emphasizes heightened performance without sacrificing its practicality for everyday driving.
If you’re seeking an even more aggressive option, explore the Mustang GTD or the Dark Horse S designed exclusively for the track, and featuring an FIA-certified roll cage. However, when it comes to resale value, the typical Dark Horse may not yield substantial profits and could experience depreciation immediately post-dealership.
Exploring the intrigue surrounding the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse Premium model, one finds an exquisite fusion of an Oxford White exterior and opulent Black Onyx leather interiors. Despite its undeniable visual charm, the vehicle faced disappointment at auction, where the top bid of $65,500 fell shy of the $72,500 reserve price, notably below its listed MSRP of $79,390.
This Mustang features tinted windows, sequential LED taillights, hood vents, a rear spoiler, black accent stripes, and 19” Y-spoke wheels with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires. It also includes six-piston Brembo brakes, MagneRide damping, Black Onyx and Deep Indigo vinyl and micro-suede Recaro seats, a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a 13.2” SYNC 4 touchscreen.
Under the hood is a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine producing 500 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a 3.73:1 Torsen limited-slip differential. The car’s active exhaust system, an optional extra, enhances performance, allowing it to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and complete a quarter-mile in about 12 seconds.
