Ford Mustang Dark Horse with 850 HP

Last year, Ford introduced the seventh generation Mustang Dark Horse, an extremely powerful car with everything that this car has been known for generations. However, Hennessey believes that this car is capable of much more, so they introduced their own version called the H850.

The standard Ford Mustang Dark Horse is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. The engine upgrade comes with a three-year warranty or up to 58,000 kilometers.

Dark Horse, which is offered only in the Coupé version, is finished in red. The exterior design, decorated with white stickers, has been refreshed with several carbon elements such as a new front splitter, carbon-fiber side skirts, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Hennessey’s main focus was on engine upgrades. It is equipped with a mechanical compressor, an upgraded intake system, a new fuel pump, a more open exhaust and recalibrated electronics. It is mounted on 19-inch rims behind which are upgraded Brembo brakes.

“Our supercharged Mustang builds have continuously been customer favorites over the years, and Ford’s improved S650 platform will prove to be its most capable. Without question, our supercharged 850 horsepower Dark Horse model will be one of the most exciting and powerful muscle cars on the road — sure to turn heads with its distinctive supercharger wail and exhaust note,” said company founder and CEO John Hennessey.

Inside, nothing has been changed. This means that the car comes with high-quality materials and an adaptive 12.4-inch display in combination with a high-resolution 13.2-inch display of the multimedia system, which replaces the old instrument panel.

Meanwhile, Ford will soon offer the Mustang Dark Horse in both S and R (track-only) versions.

Porsche 911 (993) Bubblegum

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has started and on the first day we saw the restomod Porsche 911 (993) Bubblegum, made by Gunther Werks. This is the latest work of a company that specializes in Porsche cars, especially the legendary 911.

The car is finished in a special pink pearl shade with ultra fine metallic shades, and it was done for a special client from Great Britain. A stripped carbon line runs down the middle of the car, and Gunther Werks say this unique creation marks the company’s official debut in various European markets and the UK.

There is little information about this unique car. However, there is a lot of speculation. Some believe, when it comes to the powertrain, that under the hood is a 4.0L flat-six twin-turbo engine with 700 hp (515 kW) paired with a manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. This would mean that the engineers used the same engine as on last year’s Project Tornado.

Project Tornado is powered by an air-cooled 4.0-liter flat-six twin-turbo engine that in race mode delivers 700 hp (522 kW) and 560 lb-ft (759 Nm) of torque. In standard form, the engine delivers 600 hp (447 kW). Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

It is equipped with a carbon body, a large rear wing with functional vents for cooling, wide rear wheel arches, and a new splitter. Inside are carbon fiber seat buckets covered in black Alcantara with pink stitching. The steering wheel is also wrapped in black Alcantara with pink stitching, while the door panels are made of carbon fiber. The dashboard is covered in black leather.

Mercedes S-Class as a luxury sports car

In 2020, Mercedes presented the W223 S-Class based on the second-generation MRA platform, which uses a four-link front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension. It is a powerful sedan for which the German company SMN Motors has prepared a special equipment kit and more power.

The carbon body kit includes a front splitter, intake bezels, side mirror housings, trunk spoiler and rear diffuser, a new stainless steel exhaust system, and 22-inch wheels. The brake calipers are in Royal Mint color, and the same shade was chosen for the upholstery in the interior. The S-Class is upholstered in a combination of Nappa leather and Alcantara covering the seats, door panels, dashboard, center console, steering wheel, pillars and roof. Also, customers can choose another color if they don’t like Royal Mint. For those who want a more luxurious interior, there is an LED ceiling.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Mercedes S-Class S580 4Matic is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that now delivers 592 hp (435 kW) and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard S-Class has 496 hp (370 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque.
