The front end is much more horizontal than before, mirroring the squared-off look of that 760-hp monster. Some of those Shelby traits continue with the styling of the Dark Horse, which is reminiscent of the current GT500. A Torsen rear differential keeps things tidy on corner exit, while 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 tires work in tandem with a set of massive Brembo stoppers. A strut tower brace and a unique K-brace from Ford Performance help to improve handling and chassis feedback. Opt for the Performance Package, and you’ll receive further chassis tuning adjustments, larger sway bars out back, and a heavier duty set of shocks up front. An auxiliary engine oil cooler, rear axle cooler and a lighter radiator all work together to improve cooling capabilities. Every Mustang Dark Horse comes equipped with MagneRide shock absorbers, which have been recalibrated for the S650. Automakers tend to use a different definition of that word than the rest of us, but the Dark Horse does specifically pack some chassis tweaks for track use. While the S650 generation is indeed largely based on the outgoing S550 chassis, Krenz did note that around 85 percent of the car is new. The shifter itself is topped with a 3D-printed bit of blue anodized titanium, which features a unique texture underneath to help with cooling the surface.

The Dark Horse team also wanted to celebrate manual customers by offering a shift knob inspired by the titanium exhaust found on the mid-engined GT supercar. The latter gearbox is a welcome addition in this case, as the Mustang’s standard MT82 manual gearbox has often been lamented for its lack of on-track prowess. That potent V-8 can be mated to either a 10-speed automatic, or the Tremec-sourced six-speed manual offered in the Mach 1.
