In a bid to redefine the limits of raw power and track prowess, Hennessey Performance has once again left the automotive world in awe with the introduction of their latest creation, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse. The 2024 Ford S650 Mustang Dark Horse, already an impressive performance machine straight from the factory, has undergone a breathtaking transformation at the hands of Hennessey, resulting in an 850 horsepower beast that takes no prisoners on the track.
Unleashing the Powerhouse
The Hennessey H850 package turns the already potent Mustang Dark Horse into an 850hp monster. The heart of this thoroughbred lies in a supercharged Coyote V8 engine, which, with the support of various upgraded components and precision engine management software, catapults its power output to a remarkable 850 horsepower and an earth-shaking 880Nm of torque. This jaw-dropping 70 percent increase in power promises an adrenaline-fueled driving experience like no other.
Aesthetics Meet Performance
Hennessey knows that power alone is not enough to captivate true automotive enthusiasts. Thus, the H850 Dark Horse boasts captivating visual enhancements that match its unrivaled performance. Carbon-fiber elements adorn the exterior, elevating the car’s appearance and hinting at its track-focused intentions. Not to be outdone, forged alloy wheels add a touch of elegance while also reducing unsprung weight, further enhancing the car’s handling dynamics. In addition, the H850 Dark Horse features unique graphics, signaling its exclusivity and the sheer power that lies under its hood.
Performance Beyond Compare
Hennessey’s expertise in crafting high-performance machines extends to providing an exhilarating driving experience that goes beyond just straight-line speed. The Mustang Dark Horse is already a track-oriented powerhouse with its seventh-generation S650 iteration. Ford has equipped this special edition pony car with unique engine components, a recalibrated suspension, and advanced MagneRide shock absorbers, all geared towards delivering precision handling and corner-carving capabilities.
Enthusiasts who prefer to row through gears themselves are in for a treat, as the H850 Dark Horse is offered with both a six-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic transmission, providing drivers with the freedom to choose their driving experience. Embracing its racing pedigree, the H850 also offers an array of advanced infotainment features, making it both a thrilling performer on the track and a comfortable companion on the road.
Track-Ready Excellence
The Ford Mustang Dark Horse aims to entice performance enthusiasts, luring them into the adrenaline-fueled world of track-ready ponies. It features a tech-laden interior, complete with a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch center stack equipped with Ford’s Sync 4 infotainment system, showcasing a seamless blend of performance and modern technology.
Ford, never one to rest on its laurels, is planning to release two track-only variants of the Dark Horse, named the Dark Horse S and Dark Horse R. These specialized racing editions will cater to the most demanding track enthusiasts with their unique racing features and enhancements, further solidifying the Mustang Dark Horse’s dominance on the track.
