2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC DCT
- Gasoline
- United States
Overview
The 2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC DCT is the most powerful and track-focused Dark Horse ever built, bridging the gap between the standard Dark Horse and the ultra-exclusive Mustang GTD. Powered by a hand-built 5.2-litre supercharged V8 producing 795 horsepower, it is paired exclusively with a 7-speed Tremec dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for lightning-fast gear changes and exceptional performance. Race-inspired suspension tuning, advanced aerodynamics, MagneRide dampers, Brembo brakes, and available Track Pack upgrades make it equally capable on the street and the circuit. Developed alongside the Mustang GTD and GT3 race car, the Dark Horse SC delivers supercar-level performance while retaining the unmistakable character of Ford’s iconic pony car.
