The street-legal, track-ready Mustang Dark Horse is returning for 2026, with just 500 examples locked in for this year. A strictly limited 250 of those will wear a T8-Spec Pack, developed in partnership with Triple Eight Race Engineering.

A larger rear spoiler with a Grabber Blue accented gurney flap and an enhanced front aero splitter (provided for track use only) are joined by a revised MagneRide suspension tune, stiffer springs, stiffer roll bars and adjustable top mounts.
These examples feature a black rear applique with Grabber Blue Triple Eight branding, black roof, Notorious Blue Brembo brakes, and unique bonnet decals, while inside, the cockpit features Recaro sports seats with Indigo bolsters and Triple Eight branded scuff plates.
A unique gear shift knob, and a sequentially numbered build plate are included. Every customer who purchases a Mustang Dark Horse with T8-Spec Pack will be invited to an exclusive Track Experience at Queensland Raceway in the first half of 2027 too.
