Shining Some Light on the New Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC

There is an intriguing new Ford Mustang model on the way — the Dark Horse SC. The SC presumably stands for supercharged, which the 5.2-liter V8 indeed is. But there’s a lot more to this car than a supercharger and a slightly bigger engine than the current Dark Horse has — which would be a 5.0-liter, naturally-aspirated V-8. There’s a sophisticated suspension and lots of fresh bodywork, much of it there to properly cheat the wind, and add a bunch of downforce.

Plus, and this never hurts, it looks hot in photos, even hotter in person.
