Besides being downright gorgeous, the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse delivers off-the-charts speed and agility. These racetrack-ready sports coupes aren’t available yet, but our preview guide is here to answer your burning questions.
What is the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse?
The Dark Horse Series will be a run of six Mustangs, and the first two models to appear will be the Mustang Dark Horse S and Dark Horse R. Based on the upcoming redesigned 2024 Mustang, this will be the first performance-based series to arrive in more than two decades. These Mustangs deliver a unique blend of street-ready and track-based performance. If you want to drive faster, with increasing agility, and look sharper, these are the models for you.
