Dark Horse meets Big Apple: we ride in the new, track-focused Mustang
► Dark Horse meets Big ApplePick somewhere to test Ford’s most track-focused Mustang yet, and Manhattan probably wouldn’t be at the top of your list – but that’s exactly where we are. Overcast skies, rush-hour traffic and winter tyres mean we can only get a gist of the all-new Dark Horse, but so far, the signs are good.
‘We’re super excited it’s going to Europe still,’ says Transou. ‘There are a lot of European regulations, but we’re right on top of them. I know we’ve had a really strong customer base there and so we’re going to [offer it in the UK] for the foreseeable future. We will try to make sure we can keep delivering this and building it and shipping it.’[PT1]So that’s the how, but why? The Dark Horse represents the first expansion of the Mustang for 20 years.
The Dark Horse gets smoked LED headlamps, a model-specific radiator grille and its own alloy wheels. There’s a dedicated aero package, which includes a lower front splitter, deeper side skirts and an aggressive rear diffuser with a black chrome quad-exit exhaust system. There’s a choice of two rear wings, and it’s also available with optional full carbonfibre wheels – something that’s only previously been offered on the Shelby GT models.
Rattle off the spec list above and you’d expect the ‘Stang to have all the ride quality of a skateboard, but its active Magneride suspension means it’s relatively compliant. The winter tyres aren’t helping though; we can feel their blocks complaining whenever we pick up the speed. Just like the previous car, there’s a range of driving mode specific screens such as Dragstrip mode, Track mode and Comfort that all have their own steering, traction, and ride settings – but they’re joined by six additional individual profiles.
