Ford unveiled a new high-performance, road-legal sports car today at its 2026 motorsports season launch in Detroit. The company described the vehicle as the "most advanced, powerful, and track-capable Dark Horse ever." Teasers accompanying the reveal suggested the car features a supercharged engine.
The launch confirms speculation surrounding a new model from the recently rebranded Ford Racing division. This Mustang variant is expected to sit atop Ford's performance lineup. The move demonstrates Ford's strategy of transferring racing innovation directly to its production vehicles, though exact specifications remain forthcoming.
The Detroit event also highlighted Ford's official return to Formula 1. This includes a partnership with Red Bull Racing and the showcasing of the new livery for the 2026 season. No immediate market reaction analysis was available following the announcements.
