Mustang Dark Horse H850

Two years ago, Ford introduced the extremely powerful seventh generation Mustang Dark Horse, and in 2023, the American hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator Hennessey revealed the H850 version based on this model. It took a year for Hennessey to start production of this car.

“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 in 2023.

The interior remained original 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.

This Mustang Dark Horse is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 850 hp (643 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Mustang Dark Horse has 500 hp (368 kW) and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque. The increase in power was achieved thanks to the installation of a new fuel pump, nozzles and compressor, as well as a high-flow air intake. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. The upgraded engine comes with a three-year or 36,000-mile (58,000 km) warranty.

Hennessey said the car accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and covers 402 meters in 10.9 seconds with a top speed of 214 km/h (133 mph). The price of the car is not known.

Ford is reducing the power of the V8 engine due to emissions regulations

For 2022, Ford has prepared a special equipment package and minor cosmetic changes for the new Mustang. Compared to the standard model, the American car icon will have slightly less horsepower, so it can meet the new emissions regulations.

It is comforting that less power will not have much effect on the overall performance of the best-selling sports model in the world. Ford said that less horsepower is the only way a powerful engine can cope with the latest emissions regulations. This primarily refers to regulations in most European countries.

The Mustang will be powered by a 5.0-liter Atmospheric V8 engine (Coyote) with 450 hp (331 kW) and 409 lb-ft (555 Nm) of torque. That’s 10 hp (7 kW) and 11 lb-ft (14 Nm) less than a standard engine. Customers will be able to choose between a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission. The car will have a rear wheel drive.

Unofficially, the next (seventh) generation Mustang should be introduced in 2023. Ford has already announced that the production of the fully electric Mustang will start at the end of 2028.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

Ford has produced a special Mustang Mach-E model for the AirVenture Show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It is a special model dedicated to Women Airforce Service Pilots of the Second World War.

The exterior of the car is made in a combination of silver and black with contrasting yellow details. The stars of the US Air Force are also on the car. The interior of the car is the same as the previous one, with the addition of a specially designed armrest with yellow contrasting stripes and the number “38”, which represents the number of female pilots who died in the air force. Yellow stripes can also be seen on the steering wheel, door panels and dashboard.

The electric Mustang Mach-E is powered by two electric motors with 346 hp and 428 lb-ft (580 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive, the Mustang Mach-E reaches 62 mph in 4.8 seconds. The car is based on the Mustang Mach-E Premium, and the full battery provides a range of 270 miles (435 km).

Female pilots did not take part in air battles. As volunteers, they transported planes to air bases thus making their significant contribution in World War II.
