The American SetFord Gives the GT500's Old Spot in the Mustang Lineup to the 2026 Dark Horse SC
For the 2026 model year, Ford has a new high-performance Mustang in the Dark Horse SC. It sits one rung under the GTD, which remains the top of the Mustang range, and it takes over the role the Shelby GT500 used to fill. For owners and collectors who follow the Mustang line year by year, that gives the car a clear place to be judged from: it's the next step in Ford's performance ladder, directly below its flagship.
