DEARBORN
- Ford
has
unveiled
the 2027
Mustang
Dark
Horse SC
convertible,
a
795-horsepower,
supercharged
V8
drop-top
that the
automaker
calls
its
highest-performance
convertible
Mustang
to date.
The
vehicle
was
introduced
in
connection
with the
2026
Woodward
Dream
Cruise,
bringing
a new
open-air
flagship
to metro
Detroit’s
annual
celebration
of
performance
cars and
automotive
culture.
The Dark
Horse SC
convertible
is
powered
by a
supercharged
5.2-liter
V8 rated
at 795
horsepower
and 660
pound-feet
of
torque
when
using
premium
fuel.
Power is
routed
through
a
seven-speed
dual-clutch
transmission,
Ford
said.
Ford
Racing
developed
the
convertible
as a
grand-touring
counterpart
to the
Dark
Horse SC
coupe,
which is
positioned
as the
more
track-focused
model.
The
automaker
said the
convertible
is its
first
new
high-performance
Mustang
convertible
since
2013.
Starting
with the
Mustang
GT
convertible
architecture,
Ford
Racing
added a
lightweight
magnesium
tower-to-tower
brace
intended
to
strengthen
the
vehicle’s
structure
and
accommodate
the
increased
output
of its
supercharged
engine.
The
convertible
also
receives
a
specially
tuned
next-generation
MagneRide
suspension,
which
Ford
said is
designed
to
balance
cruising
comfort
with
improved
stability
under
hard
acceleration.
“If the
coupe is
the
race-bred
side of
our DNA,
this
convertible
is the
pure
street
cred
part of
the
formula,”
Mark
Rushbrook,
global
director
of Ford
Racing,
said in
a
statement.
“It’s
just
pure
fun,
fast,
freedom.”
Ford
said the
Dark
Horse SC
convertible
will be
offered
with
styling
and trim
details
including
available
Precision
Purple
exterior
paint, a
unique
brake-caliper
color,
and
Black
Onyx or
Space
Gray
interior
treatments.
Orders
for the
Mustang
Dark
Horse SC
convertible
are
scheduled
to open
this
fall,
with
vehicles
expected
to reach
dealerships
in
spring
2027.
Ford has
not
announced
pricing.
