new ford mustang dark horse delivers 500hp, most powerful 5.0-litre v8 ever

DETROIT: Ford is spreading the holiday cheer this season by giving Mustang fans exactly what they had on their wish list: more horses across every engine offering for the all-new, seventh-generation 2024 Mustang, including 500hp with the Mustang Dark Horse.

The Mustang Dark Horse features a uniquely engineered fourth-generation Coyote 5.0-litre V8 engine with 500hp and 566Nm of torque to set a new benchmark for Mustang street and track performance, and the most powerful non-Shelby edition ever.

Upgrades include a uniquely balanced crankshaft and forged piston connecting rods – the latter first introduced in the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – to handle higher cylinder pressures and piston speeds.

Mustang Dark Horse also sports strengthened camshafts for track-durability needs, including extended operation closer to its 7,500-rpm redline.

“Every time someone gets behind the wheel of a Mustang, we know they want to feel that strong connection to their vehicle – and we’re just as invested in creating that bond,” said Suzanne Robinson, Coyote engine program supervisor.

“With the increased responsiveness you get from the new dual throttle bodies, we’re wringing every ounce of performance we can out of our engine so Mustang enthusiasts can have that experience.”

The available active-valve performance exhaust system enables the Mustang GT coupe and convertible to deliver 486hp and 566Nm of torque.

Beyond the boost in power, the system’s free-flowing design delivers a custom-V8 sound with the ability to close the valves to restrict the amount of noise made by the car.

Those opting for the standard Mustang GT still enjoy 480hp – the most standard power in a naturally aspirated V8-powered Mustang ever. In addition, the engine delivers 562Nm of torque for the most standard torque ever.

The fourth-generation Coyote V8 features a segment-first, dual intake and dual throttle body induction system that’s matched with structural improvements and upgraded oil pan. This helps minimise induction loss by enabling higher air flow rates.

For Mustang GT and Mustang Dark Horse, horsepower and torque ratings are the same for automatic and manual transmissions.

Continuing a tradition of affordable performance, the all-new 2024 Mustang EcoBoost delivers on the nameplate’s legacy with its all-new 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine that produces 315hp, the most standard power in a four- or six-cylinder Mustang ever. In addition, the engine delivers 474Nm of torque.

Mustang EcoBoost also offers the optional active-valve performance exhaust system designed for even more excitement from its turbocharged-soundtrack.

The Mustang EcoBoost coupe and convertible feature a new engine from the ground up that incorporates Ford’s new Modular Power Cylinder (MPC) engine architecture.

It uses a new Bore to Stroke ratio, Port Fuel injection coupled with direct injection, variable cam timing, integrated Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Twin Scroll turbocharging technologies to deliver the performance Mustang drivers expect.

The all-new 2024 Mustang coupe and convertible models go on sale in the US starting in the summer of 2023 and are assembled at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.
