New Ford mustang Dark Horse TESTED - Incredibly good, but there is a big issue...

[@NicoMCH666]

Cool review of the EU Verion! The Dark Horse Spoiler is also standard for EU Versions. It is just that the first orders were orders which were prebuilt before orders offiicially opened back in February (probably some certification issue at first or something). Customers being delivered now have the normal DH Spoiler as advertised in Ford's marketing material. Waiting for mine which should arrive by end of October.

Do you needed to pay for the real spoiler, or was it free?

[@sergiogarcia9822]

Wow!!! Over 10% less HP than in the US, that is robbery.

[@kalinandonov2799]

Previous generation Mustang came up with less horse power in Europe as well, with Mach 1 topping the range at 460 hp. Thank you for your review 🙂

[@HonestCarReviews]

Thanks for your information. The official Swedish Ford site states that it has the Torsen as standard (in the performance pack, although I cant spec it out in the car builder...), so that's why I included it. Now I am confused what is right. But yeah you are right about the hp numbers. Still less hp than the previous European versions unfortunately

[@kalinandonov2799]

@@HonestCarReviews Actually, you are right, it comes with a Torsen differential as per every official Ford website in Europe, I apologize for the misinformation, my bad. I had no idea that Ford was able to keep it for the Euro version, as they did not for the Mach 1. That is a big plus for the Dark Horse! I will modify my original comment in order to not spread misinformation. Thank you so much!

Would it be possible to retrofit the US exhaust and ECU to a EU model? Only chance I would be interested in the "new" Mustang

[@HonestCarReviews]

Not impossible I think, but if you want more sound, the EU spec exhaust is still plenty loud

[@antoniolopez2322]

@@HonestCarReviews Thanks. It would be for the power increase, not for the sound, I think the EU model sounds great

Great review!

[@sackwhacker]

From what I've seen, the Dark Horse made its first appearance in Australia and the owner confirmed that his was also short of 500HP at 493.

[@HonestCarReviews]

Manual or automatic? Different drive train losses could make up the difference?

[@wadeayoub9799]

yes, kind of correct, it has been downsized in HP in Australia to 486hp due to Australian regulations. But you can mod it to increase the horse power which is what i am doing.

[@sackwhacker]

@@HonestCarReviews both manual and auto

[@HonestCarReviews]

@@wadeayoub9799 Full length exhaust with X-pipe, new air intake and a tune, although it seems that only piggybacks or standalone ECUs are available seems to be the standard for the Mustangs. What will you do?

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

I just received mine month a go in Sweden ,beautiful car and the sound incredible specially with Tremec gear box . One problem to own this car you need to pay 2800dollar for tax every year . I have no single comment , I love it ,about the power I think it’s 500 hp they just fool us 😅, you mention M3 I can tell you this car handling better on my opinion ,,, nice review anyway

[@HonestCarReviews]

@@gladiatoralmousa5689 maybe its the full fat 500 hp. Only way to tell is with a dyno!

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

⁠@@HonestCarReviewsexactly 👌

[@PhilippeDeBaveye]

@@HonestCarReviews the HP's are mentioned on your order/invoice. In Belgium it is 453hp, in the US it is 500. Why, because there is a partikel filter, at least in Belgium, installed. Which reduces hp and CO2, according to european regulations.

[@wadeayoub9799]

@@HonestCarReviews it would be 500hp at the crank, not at the wheels. all car manufacturers give the horse power at the crank. if you dyno it, the horse power will less, maybe 440hp? but you can do some mods to it to increase the horse power.

[@gladiatoralmousa5689]

@@PhilippeDeBaveye i left the car up I find only particular filter in both side and I just removed the resonator with H-pipe her in Sweden it’s written 535 but I not believe it, they just don’t want us to buy them that’s why it’s cost 90k usd and almost 3000 dollars for traffic fees every year . It’s insane
