Unveiling the Dark Horse S: A Track-Ready Companion

Among the exceptional track-focused lineup, the Dark Horse S stands out as the model closest to its street counterpart.

The Dark Horse S boasts performance enhancements such as Multimatic DSSV shocks, a front splitter, upgraded brakes, adjustable ride height and camber settings, tow hooks, and an adjustable rear wing. Inside, drivers enjoy race-specific features like an FIA-compliant safety cage, window nets, a racing seat with harness, electrical disconnect switch, fire suppression system, telemetry display, and minimalist control interfaces for lights, wipers, and pit lane speed limiter.

Building upon the foundation of the Dark Horse S, the Dark Horse R takes performance to new heights, specially engineered for racing purposes. With an emphasis on enhanced rigidity, the Dark Horse R boasts a seam-welded chassis, ensuring optimal structural integrity. The inclusion of a fuel cell extends the car’s range, making it an ideal companion for endurance races. Additionally, the Dark Horse R features lighter race-spec Ford Performance wheels compared to the street variants on the Dark Horse S.
