Boasting the most power of any free-breathing V8 Mustang ever created by the Blue Oval automaker, the Mustang Dark Horse, which we sampled at the home of NASCAR in the USA in 2023, is endowed with 373 kW and 567 N.m. However, it seemed Texan company Hennessey thought the atmospheric petrol unit could do with more power and torque.

The result was the H850 Mustang Dark Horse, an extensively modified version, which, courtesy of the fitment of a supercharger and an array of upgraded mechanical items, sports 634 kW and 880 N.m. Now, the firm has announced the performance figures for its upgraded Mustang Dark Horse.

Hennessey claims the H850 Mustang Dark completes the obligatory 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in 3.2 seconds, five-tenths of a second quicker than the model it is based on. At the same time, the firm has improved the standard pony car’s ¼ sprint time by more than one second. At a claimed 10.9 seconds, the H850 Mustang Dark Horse completes the ¼ mile 1.1 seconds faster than the stock Mustang Dark Horse.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
