Ford Mustang Dark Horse R Debuts: Track-Only Pony With Its Own Racing Series

# Ford Mustang Dark Horse R Debuts: Track-Only Pony With Its Own Racing Series

The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is the most powerful naturally aspirated Coyote V8 in any ‘Stang, and Ford claims it is the most track-capable version of the seventh-generation Mustang to date. Now, Ford Racing has unveiled the new Dark Horse R, a turn-key race car designed for buyers who want to spend their weekends on the track.

The Ford Mustang Dark Horse R retains many of the elements that make the standard Dark Horse great, but with specific racing cues for track use.

The engine is the same naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 found in the road-going version, but it has been tweaked to produce “500+ horsepower.” The powertrain also includes an upgraded oil system, transmission cooling, differential cooling, a Borla racing exhaust system, and a fuel cell for added safety and capacity.

The Dark Horse R features the same six-speed manual transmission and Brembo brakes as the base Dark Horse model. Visually, the exterior is very similar, with the exception of a few necessary tow hooks and smaller 19-inch wheels wrapped in racing slicks.

To enhance on-track performance, Ford has made significant tweaks to the Dark Horse R. It features Multimatic DSSV racing dampers, adjustable anti-roll bars, and adjustable front camber plates. Inside, all creature comforts have been removed in favor of a full racing cabin, which includes a roll cage, Recaro racing seats, a Sparco racing harness, and a removable Sparco steering wheel.

Buyers who manage to get their hands on a limited Dark Horse R will also have the opportunity to compete in the Mustang Challenge, a new single-make racing series organized by Ford Performance Racing School. This IMSA-sanctioned series will have a 10- to 12-race calendar on five or six yet-to-be-named tracks in North America, starting in 2024.

The Ford Mustang Dark Horse R comes with a price tag of $145,000 and deliveries are expected to begin in 2024, just in time for the first Mustang Challenge races.
