0.08 -> Hello guys welcome back to our YouTube channel.
3.21 -> Ford loves itself some nostalgia, so it doesn't roll out new-new performance trims very often,
8.34 -> instead choosing to rely on that connection to the past.

24.31 -> historic models.

35.45 -> features and exclusive track-focused options.
38.56 -> It's the first new performance trim in the Mustang lineup in 21 years, following the
42.48 -> introduction of the Mustang Bullitt in 2001.

67.21 -> Built on the familiar 5 liter Coyote architecture, the Dark Horse V8 is projecting more the 500
73.1 -> horsepower.
74.14 -> It utilizes several tricks to achieve that output, including piston connecting borrowed
78.2 -> from the 760-horsepower Mustang Shelby GT500 and the new dual-throttle intake that breathes
83.64 -> through openings in the front grille.
85.94 -> To keep things running smoothly, Dark Horse gets an auxiliary engine oil cooler, a rear

94.21 -> and more robust cooling fans to improve endurance and recovery.
98.12 -> The manual transmission also gets a dedicated cooling unit.
101.77 -> Those looking for the quickest Dark Horse will opt for the 10 speed automatic that comes

114.03 -> Interior Upgrades.

119.85 -> Bright Indigo Blue stitching and a drive-mode button within easy thumb's reach.

155.25 -> touchscreen.
156.59 -> All Dark Horses get a B&O sound system with 12 speakers and a subwoofer, plus unique welcome

170.41 -> wing incorporating a "Gurney flap" like the one on the Ford GT.
174.58 -> The springs are stiffened, and the front and rear anti-roll bars are enlarged.
178.47 -> Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) tires with staggered fitting wheels (19-inch-by-9.5-inch front
185.599 -> and 19-inch-by-10-inch rear wheels) fill out the wheel wells, while standard active dampers
190.78 -> capable of monitoring 1,000 tire and wheel movements a second keep the rubber on the
194.77 -> road.
