2027 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC Revealed With 795 HP and 660 lb-ft Torque
The most extreme and track-focused version of the Dark Horse has finally revealed its true strength—and the numbers are anything but modest.
While the standard Ford Mustang Dark Horse already delivers 500 horsepower, the newly detailed supercharged variant raises the bar significantly. Official figures now confirm that the 2027 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC produces an impressive 795 horsepower alongside 660 lb-ft of torque.
The 2027 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC delivers 795 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque, with pricing from $108,495 and summer deliveries confirmed.

That leap in output marks a substantial increase over the base version. Although it doesn’t quite match the range-topping Ford Mustang GTD, the Dark Horse SC surpasses the previous S550-era Shelby GT500 in raw performance. Judging purely by the numbers, this model effectively steps into GT500 territory, even if it carries a different name.
Powering the Dark Horse SC is a familiar yet formidable engine. Rather than the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 found in the standard car, it utilizes the 5.2-liter Predator V8. This engine is also shared with the earlier GT500, the Mustang GTD, and even the Ford F-150 Raptor R, reinforcing its performance pedigree.
Development of this supercharged Mustang was carried out alongside the GTD and the GT3 race car. That collaboration extends to several key components, including aerodynamic enhancements, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.
Positioned as the most hardcore Mustang that remains accessible to buyers, the Dark Horse SC starts at $108,495. For those seeking additional track-focused upgrades, the Track Pack raises the price to $144,985.
Orders for the 2027 Mustang Dark Horse SC are now open, with customer deliveries expected to begin in the summer, making the wait relatively short for enthusiasts.
