2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Gets Price Increase (Already)

• The Mustang Dark Horse is thousands more than it was a month ago.
• That's before you get to the Premium trim or add any performance-oriented options.
• We know it's the last of a breed, but this is serious cash for a Mustang.

Keep in mind the Dark Horse doesn't feature the Shelby's maniacal flat-plane crank V8 soundtrack, something that made that car truly special both within and well beyond the Mustang faithful. To make matters more expensive, the Dark Horse's base price doesn't include the $1,600 Recaro seats, the $4,500 handling package (which includes magnetic dampers, a rear wing, and what Ford says is "revised chassis tuning") and the carbon-fiber wheels, which are bound to be a very pricey option indeed. (Ford hasn't listed a price for them yet.)

That makes the Dark Horse one pricey machine, but there aren't many V8-powered, manually shifted, rear-wheel-drive performance cars left to pick from. Once we get our hands on the new Dark Horse we'll render a verdict, but there's no doubt that it has already become a more aspirational car for enthusiasts and Mustang lovers alike.

Edmunds says

While that's a lot of cash for a 'Stang, we're excited to get behind the wheel and find out if it's worth it.
