The price is 725,000! The Ford Mustang Dark Horse Edition is on the market What large-displacement sports cars can you buy at this price?
Nowadays, not to mention 8-cylinder models, even 6-cylinder models are becoming more and more rare. However, the charm of large-displacement fuel vehicles, especially naturally aspirated models, and the unique high-end power texture and charm are incomparable to the electric motor that accelerates faster. Because of this, if you can still buy a new car with a large displacement naturally aspirated engine on the market today, it is really a rare taste.
On February 19, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse (Dark Horse Version) was officially launched, with only one model and a price of 725,000 yuan. Although the appearance of the car has not changed drastically from the regular version of the Mustang, which is less than half the price, its 5.0L Coyote V8 naturally aspirated engine still caused many Chinese fans to scream.
As a high-performance sports car of the seventh-generation Ford Mustang family, the Mustang Dark Horse is positioned higher than the Ford Mustang GT previously sold in China, with a large number of track-level aerodynamic packages on the outside, and has independent dual-throttle intakes, and a larger trapezoidal front grille. The exaggerated spoiler at the tail and the stout two-sided quadruple exhaust, combined with the ducktail tail below, make the overall look very fierce and domineering, full of fighting atmosphere. In addition, the additional vents on the hood are also its main logo, just like the Subaru Forester SG9 and Legacy that were previously equipped with 2.5T engines, which are the "ruthless" models of the performance beasts at first glance.
The tires and braking of the Ford Mustang Dark Horse are also significantly different from the regular Mustang, equipped with the Brembo high-performance braking system, with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear aluminum blue calipers and optimized brake pad force and heat dissipation. The tires are 19-inch Pirelli P ZERO performance tyres.
Of course, the most interesting thing is its powerful heart,—— 5.0L Coyote V8 naturally aspirated engine, its maximum power of 454 horsepower, peak torque of 523Nm, 0-100 kilometers acceleration in only 4.6 seconds, the transmission system is matched with SelectShift 10-speed automatic manual transmission, which can better ensure power transmission and fuel economy.
So at present, on the market, at a price of about 700,000 yuan, what else can you buy a large-displacement sports car similar to the Ford Mustang Dark Horse? You can take a look at the BMW Z4 M40i, which is built on the same platform as the newly resurrected Toyota SUPRA, the M40i model is built with a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine, with a maximum horsepower of 340Ps and a maximum torque of 500N·m, and the acceleration from 0 to 100Km/h is only 4.5 seconds.
In addition, you can also look at the Jaguar F-Type 3.0T rear-wheel drive version, equipped with a 3.0T V6 supercharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 340Ps, a maximum torque of 450Nm, and a 0-100Km/h acceleration time of 5.3 seconds. Both cars have luxury brand attributes, but the Ford Mustang Dark Horse's V8 naturally aspirated engine may have more pure mechanical appeal.
