Whether you are navigating the open stretches of highway that define our part of the country or enjoying a weekend excursion to a local track, this vehicle is designed to turn every mundane commute into a memorable event. The Shadow Black exterior provides a stealthy yet aggressive presence that commands respect at every intersection and stoplight.

The Mustang has long been a symbol of freedom, and the Dark Horse trim elevates that legacy with a focused, track-ready demeanor that remains perfectly composed for daily use. This is a car for the driver who appreciates the finer details of mechanical feedback and the tactile sensation of a well-appointed cockpit. From the moment you grip the steering wheel, you feel a connection to the road that is increasingly rare in modern motoring.

Performance & Capability

At the heart of this machine lies a formidable 5L V-8 port/direct injection engine featuring DOHC, Ti-VCT variable valve control, and cylinder deactivation. Delivering a potent 500HP, this powerplant is engineered for those who demand uncompromising acceleration and a linear power delivery that only a naturally aspirated V8 can provide. The engine is built with an Aluminum engine block and Aluminum cylinder head, ensuring a lightweight yet durable foundation. To maintain peak performance during spirited sessions in the surrounding area, the vehicle is equipped with an Engine oil cooler and a Heavy-duty radiator, allowing for consistent thermal management even under demanding conditions.

The power is sent to the rear wheels through a sophisticated Transmission TREMEC 10-speed automatic, which features SelectShift Sequential shift with steering wheel controls. This allows for lightning-fast gear changes whether you are letting the system manage the shifts or taking manual control via the paddles. The Rear Wheel Drive configuration is further enhanced by a Torsen mechanical limited slip differential, providing exceptional traction and predictable handling when exiting corners. The Adaptive ride suspension and MagneRide magnetorheological shock absorbers constantly monitor road conditions, adjusting damping rates in milliseconds to provide a balance between track-level stiffness and highway comfort.

Driving dynamics are further refined by the Independent front suspension and Multi-link rear suspension, which work in harmony with Heavy-duty front springs and a Heavy-duty rear anti-roll bar. This setup ensures that the Mustang remains flat through the turns, offering the kind of stability that inspires confidence on the winding backroads found throughout the region. With Selectable mode transmission and Driver selectable steering effort, you can tailor the vehicle's personality to suit your mood, ranging from a relaxed cruiser to a sharpened performance instrument. Despite its high-performance nature, the inclusion of engine with cylinder deactivation helps manage efficiency during steady-state cruising, achieving an estimated 22 highway MPG.

Technology & Connectivity

The interior of the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Fastback is a digital powerhouse, designed to keep you informed and entertained as you traverse the surrounding area. The centerpiece of the drivers environment is the 12.4 inch gauge cluster display, which provides a high-resolution, fully customizable interface for all vital vehicle data. Complementing this is a 13.2 inch primary display touchscreen, which serves as the hub for the SYNC 4 AppLink/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring system. This seamless integration allows you to access your favorite apps, music, and communication tools without the need for cumbersome cables.

Navigation is handled by the Connected Navigation integrated navigation system with voice activation, ensuring you can find the most efficient routes across the regional highway network. For audiophiles, the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen features 12 Speakers and a Digital signal processor, delivering a rich and immersive listening experience that rivals a live concert. Whether you are listening to a podcast on your way to work or enjoying a high-energy playlist on a weekend drive, the audio quality remains crystal clear.

Staying connected is effortless thanks to the FordPass Connect mobile hotspot internet access and 4 USB ports distributed throughout the cabin. The Front wireless smart device charging pad ensures your phone stays powered up without cluttering the center console. Furthermore, the SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition system allows you to control audio, navigation, and even the climate system using simple voice commands, keeping your focus where it belongs: on the road ahead. The inclusion of SiriusXM with 360L provides a vast array of entertainment options, while Real time traffic and Real time weather updates keep you prepared for changing conditions throughout the surrounding area.

Comfort & Interior

Inside the cabin, the blend of performance and luxury is immediately evident. The BLK/BLU DINAMICA CLOTH/VNYL seating surfaces offer a premium look and feel, featuring Cloth and vinyl front seat upholstery that provides excellent lateral support during spirited driving. Both the driver and front passenger can enjoy Heated front seats and Ventilated driver and front passenger seats, ensuring comfort regardless of the season in the surrounding area. The Heated steering wheel, wrapped in Leather and simulated suede, provides a tactile and comfortable grip during cold morning starts.

The drivers seat features 8-way directional controls including 2-way power lumbar support, allowing for a perfectly tailored driving position. Memory settings for the driver seat and mirrors ensure that your preferred configuration is saved for up to three different drivers. The Dual-zone front climate control system allows both occupants to set their individual temperature preferences, while the Voice activated climate control makes adjustments simple and intuitive. The interior is accented with Metal-look interior accents and Simulated carbon fiber on the instrument panel and door inserts, reinforcing the high-tech, performance-oriented aesthetic.

Practicality is not overlooked, with 50-50 folding rear seats that expand the cargo-carrying capabilities of the trunk. The Locking floor console storage and Illuminated locking glove box provide secure places for personal items. For those early morning departures, the Keyfob remote start and Smart device remote start allow you to pre-condition the cabin temperature from the comfort of your home. The Selectable color ambient lighting allows you to set the mood of the interior, while the Aluminum Foot Pedals and Titanium gear shifter material add a final touch of racing-inspired flair to the cockpit.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a paramount consideration in the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Fastback, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, even in heavy traffic common in the surrounding area. The Lane-Keeping System and Lane Centering hands-on cruise control work together to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane, reducing driver fatigue during long regional trips.

Visibility and awareness are enhanced by the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert, which warn you of vehicles in your blind spots or approaching from the side when reversing. The Rear mounted camera and Rear parking sensors make maneuvering in tight spaces much simpler and safer. In the event of a potential collision, the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection can provide a warning and even apply the brakes if necessary.

The vehicle is also equipped with Notorious Blue Unique Brake Calipers paired with Ventilated front and rear disc brakes, providing exceptional stopping power and heat dissipation. The Post-Collision Braking system is designed to apply the brakes after an initial impact to help prevent or mitigate a secondary collision. With a total of 8 airbags, including Driver and passenger side knee airbags and Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags, the Mustang provides a high level of passive protection for all occupants. The Driver Alert system monitors for signs of drowsiness, providing a helpful reminder to take a break if your attention begins to wander.

The vehicle sits on 19 x 9.5-inch front and 19 x 10-inch rear black aluminum wheels, wrapped in summer performance tires that provide the grip necessary to exploit the V8 engine's power. The Black side window trim and Body-colored door handles maintain the cohesive, dark-themed aesthetic.
