Күн бұрын

In today’s video we are going over the all new 2024 Mustang Dark Horse. Some notable things in the front end are a completely different bumper, High flow performance grille, chin splitter, functional heat extractors, and Dark Horse fender badge. For tires you get 305 30 ZR 19 inch tires in the front and for the rear, they're 315 30 R 19. For wheels you get 19 inch tall wheels in the front and in the rear. Those in the front there are ten and a half inches wide and in the rear they are 11 inches wide.
For this mustang it is the blue ember metallic color. Now this particular set up is also updated with the painted Stripe package.
Onto the rear end, some of the things you will notice are the taillights, massive quad tip exhaust, and the rear wing. Onto the interior, you will notice the massive screen, drift brake, premium audio system, flat bottom steering wheel, alcantara seats, etc.
Lastly for the engine, you get a 5.0 liter V8 naturally aspirated. Which allows for 500 Hp and a whole lot of torque.

Great video. I heard from a very early review video that the lights in the air intakes are due to the contour of the front bumper. Its basically a required safety feature. Something to do with cross traffic not being able to see the opposite corner/light of the front.

This are the times we are living in. It's a TikTok generation. Were people buy products because of "Unreal Graphics" and "3D printed shift knobs". Long gone are the days of just focusing on performance (i.e. unlocked ECUs, physical buttons, no online monitoring systems, etc). Ford did it proper by letting Gen Zers design the S650.

Thanks Mitch! I like it, but I also like my Mach 1 too. Mach 1 is missing the Brembo brakes in the rear and the extra throttle body air intake. Only 20 extra HP than the 2021 Mach 1. The big tech screen is nice, but I'm OK with the screens on my Stang too. I think the Darkhorse is a winner.

The dark horse is a major win in my opinion! I can't wait to see one in person! I wonder how it will do against a C6 Z06? Both 500hp but the vette has a 427. I got to ride in a z06 along time ago and I remember it being crazy fast. Hopfully tjr dark horse feels the same! 500hp out of a 302 is completely stock is very impressive!
