Ford has introduced a convertible version of its top-line Mustang Dark Horse SC for the 2027 model year, keeping the supercharged 5.2\u2011liter V\u20118 and the 795\u2011horsepower output of the coupe while changing the car\u2019s focus from track to top\u2011down grand touring.<\/p>\n
Ford\u2019s new Mustang Dark Horse SC convertible shares its powertrain with the coupe: a supercharged 5.2\u2011liter Predator V\u20118 tuned to 795 hp and 660 lb\u2011ft of torque, paired exclusively with a seven\u2011speed Tremec dual\u2011clutch automatic. Ford says the convertible borrows chassis architecture from the Mustang GT convertible and adds a magnesium strut\u2011tower brace for extra rigidity.<\/p>\n
Several outlets that attended Ford\u2019s Woodward Dream Cruise reveal reported that the convertible keeps most of the coupe\u2019s aggressive styling but receives small aero and decklid changes to account for the open\u2011top balance. The company also tuned the MagneRide adaptive dampers toward a softer, more comfortable ride for street and touring use rather than track lap times; Ford Racing engineers described the car as an \u201cultimate top\u2011down grand touring machine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ford previewed two interior color themes \u2014 Black Onyx and Space Gray \u2014 with carbon\u2011fiber trim pieces carried over from the coupe. Ford also introduced a new exterior color for the convertible, Precision Purple, and noted a unique brake\u2011caliper finish for the shade. Review coverage emphasized that overall styling closely follows the coupe, with small changes around the hood scoop trailing edge and wing mounting to suit the convertible\u2019s aerodynamics.<\/p>\n
Ford told journalists the car will be available to order this fall with deliveries expected in spring 2027. No final U.S. pricing was published at the reveal; reporting notes the Dark Horse SC coupe starts at about $108,000, while some markets show coupe pricing higher\u2014Canadian coverage cites a 2026 Dark Horse SC coupe starting near CA$142,415. One outlet suggested the convertible will likely start above the coupe\u2019s price, though Ford has not confirmed a U.S. MSRP.<\/p>\n
Multiple outlets quote Ford engineers framing the convertible as the relaxed, street\u2011focused complement to the coupe\u2019s track bias. Road & Track reported a Ford Racing executive contrasted the two: “If the coupe is the race\u2011bred side of our DNA, this convertible is the pure street cred part of the formula.” Driving.ca and Cars.com relayed similar messages that the convert is engineered for boulevard and grand\u2011touring use rather than lap records.<\/p>\n
Buyers who want a near\u2011800\u2011hp Mustang and top\u2011down cruising can expect the Dark Horse SC convertible to deliver the same engine performance and distinctive styling as the coupe while prioritizing comfort and touring manners. Customers seeking a track\u2011focused Dark Horse experience should consider the coupe versions, which retain the more aggressive suspension tuning and some track\u2011oriented options. Order books open this fall, with deliveries slated for spring 2027.<\/p>\n
Claims about horsepower, torque, transmission, delivery timing and Ford\u2019s positioning of the car are attributed to the manufacturer’s reveal and contemporary coverage by U.S. and Canadian automotive outlets. Pricing and full option availability are not yet confirmed by Ford for the U.S. market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
