To put things in perspective, the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that delivers 500 horsepower and 567 Nm of torque in stock or OEM tuning. The engine is connected to either a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. 

Hennessey seems to be not satisfied with the Mustang Dark Horse’s already notable power output. As such, its technicians fitted the Mustang’s V8 engine with a high-performance supercharger and a high-flow air induction system. The tuning company also fit upgraded fuel injectors and installed a new fuel pump.  

With the addition of the said components, Hennessey claims that its tuned Mustang Dark Horse can churn out 850 hp and 880 Nm of torque, which translates to a 70 percent increase in power output in comparison with the stock engine. Hennessey added that it calibrated the Dark Horse’s tuned engine with an HPE engine management software.

The H850 Ford Mustang Dark Horse also comes with forged aluminum alloy wheels as well as embroidered head restraints seen on the seats.
