Ford Unveils 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC After Red Bull Leak

Ford confirms a supercharged Dark Horse variant yet keeps output under wraps.

Overview

  • The official debut follows a Red Bull video that prematurely showed a car labeled as the 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC driven by Max Verstappen.
  • Ford presents the SC with a supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V8 paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, but withholds horsepower and performance figures.
  • Positioned above the standard Dark Horse and below the GTD, the SC is billed as the most advanced and track-focused Dark Horse to date.
  • An SC Track Pack adds carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber wheels, and a large adjustable rear wing for greater stopping power and downforce.
  • Design and hardware cues include a new front fascia, raised hood with quick-latching pins, quad exhaust, and an automatic setup with paddle shifters shown in earlier footage.
