Order-guide coverage lists the 2027 Mustang Dark Horse SC Convertible as a new open-top configuration, but its factory power rating remains pending. It pairs a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission; separate reporting cites 795 hp for the coupe.

The 2027 Mustang Dark Horse SC Convertible appears in order-guide coverage as a new open-top configuration, powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 and paired with a TREMEC seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The order-guide reporting identifies it as package 950A. Its horsepower and torque ratings are still pending, so 806 hp is not an established factory specification. Independent reporting has cited 795 hp and 660 lb-ft of torque for the Dark Horse SC coupe.

The convertible retains the Mustang’s performance focus while adding model-specific chassis and exterior equipment. Its listed features include a dedicated MagneRide suspension calibration. The car also gets Silver Argento Brembo brake calipers with black logos, along with a reduced-drag rear spoiler. A carbon-fiber hood vent is listed as well. The SC configuration includes LED sequential taillamps with welcome and farewell approach animations. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission completes the reported powertrain package, while the fabric roof brings open-air driving to the lineup.

Performance Meets Everyday Usability

The reported equipment positions the Dark Horse SC Convertible as a specially configured road-going Mustang, with suspension and aerodynamic details that distinguish it from the fastback. Mustang Society’s order-guide coverage notes that horsepower and torque figures remain pending. Fuel-economy figures have not been published either. Separate reporting on the coupe gives a 795-hp output, but that figure is not a published factory rating for the convertible.

The convertible’s listed U.S. MSRP is $121,490, compared with $103,590 for the Dark Horse SC fastback, a difference of $17,900. Long McArthur Ford’s 2027 order-bank coverage describes the convertible as a new addition to the lineup and reports that order banks are open.

Market Position and Outlook

The price and equipment place the open-top model above the fastback in the reported lineup. Its premium accompanies a distinct chassis and aerodynamic specification. The available order-guide reporting identifies the model for the 2027 Mustang range and lists its powertrain and package code alongside the MSRP.

The Mustang’s enduring popularity is reflected in Ford’s ongoing investment in the range and the broader trend of high-performance vehicles gaining traction among enthusiasts. Spain, for example, has seen growing interest in exclusive sports cars, as highlighted by King Felipe VI’s recent choice of a limited-edition Cupra Formentor VZ5 for his Mallorca holiday. The story points to the appeal of distinctive, powerful vehicles among discerning drivers. The royal’s preference for rare, high-performance models mirrors the excitement surrounding Ford’s latest Mustang.

With its reported supercharged V8 and seven-speed DCT, the Dark Horse SC brings high-performance Mustang credentials to an open-top format. Convertible-specific hardware distinguishes it. Its final factory output figures remain pending in the order-guide coverage.
