Back in the Horizon Race-Off update a long time ago, I got my hands on the all-new, seventh-generation Ford Mustang and it's a just cause for me to drive one.
However, this wasn't the only all-new Mustang in the FH5 stable present. The dark side of the all-new Mustang has awakened.
Here it is, the dark side of the all-new Ford Mustang has awakened.
This is the first-ever Ford Mustang Dark Horse that I won in the Forza Horizon 5 Modern Horizons Wet Season playlist and with two versions of the all-new Mustang present, it's time for me to get to know about the dark side of the Mustang.
Following the arrival of the all-new, seventh-generation Ford Mustang, a more potent version called the Dark Horse was unveiled. Being a track-focused road car that rivals the Porsche 911 GT3, the Mustang Dark Horse's 5.0L Coyote V8 engine produces 500HP, making it the most powerful naturally-aspirated V8-powered Mustang ever made. It is mated exclusively with the TREMEC 6-speed manual gearbox with rev-matching and no-lift shifting. In addition to its track-focused dynamics, the Dark Horse features a Gen-3 MagneRide Damping System and Brembo brake system.
The Dark Horse is truly the dark side of the Ford Mustang. The normal V8-powered Mustang is already a great car, but the Dark Horse takes it to a whole new level. Its track-focused dynamics, including a Gen-3 MagneRide Damping System and Brembo brake system, make it an absolute beast on the track. I’ve tested both models and the Dark Horse has the superior handling of the two. If you’re looking for a Mustang that can handle the world’s most demanding tracks, the Dark Horse is the car for you.
To prove my point, I've summoned the normal V8-powered Mustang GT for a one-lap time attack outside the stadium amid foggy conditions. Let's find out if the Dark Horse really is the Dark Horse. Roll the tape.
And now, the results...
Ford Mustang '24 - 1m15.759s
Mustang Dark Horse - 1m14.575s
Just like that, the Dark Side prevailed.
The Mustang Dark Horse is the dark side of the all-new, seventh-generation Ford Mustang. With its motorsport know-how from its racing equivalents, this track-focused road car boldly shows its dark side on the asphalt.
Welcome to the Dark Side.
The Mustang Dark Horse proved its point but I still have a lot of experiments with it so...um...watch this space.
