Dark Horse SC Makes Its Case With Two Pedals

· 1 min read

The 2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC has had its first test from the press, and The Drive's verdict favors the automatic: in their view, this Mustang is the best version of the car even without a manual gearbox. That's a big thing to say about a nameplate whose owners have long argued over the third pedal. The judgment is The Drive's, from their own seat; we haven't driven the car. For collectors keeping an eye on the top of the Mustang range, the 2026 Dark Horse SC now has a strong early endorsement.

With reporting from The Drive.
