Ford is shedding more light on the Dark Horse.

The upcoming Mustang model is set to sit above the GT in the lineup with a 500 horsepower 5.0-liter V8 and a chassis tuned for improved handling.

There will also be even more extreme track-only and racing versions of the car that get additional performance upgrades, but they are not street legal.

Full details are to come, but Ford has now revealed a few more of the Dark Horse's unique features.

SECRET FORD MUSTANG IS GETTING READY TO ROCK

The 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will be offered in a Blue Ember color and with hand-painted stripes. Ford

The first images of its interior have been released to show off its uniquely-trimmed interior, which includes a laser-etched grain on top of the dashboard, carbon fiber-style inserts, dark bezels and a numbered plaque.

The Recaro seats are also offered with a blue leather and black suede upholstery combination and paired with blue seatbelts.

The Dark Horse comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission and its blue titanium shifter ball is hollow to keep it cool on sunny days, which should accent the special paint color that is available. It's called Blue Ember and has a metallic finish that changes its appearance with different lighting and angles, bringing to mind the limited edition Mystichrome paint of the 2004 Mustang SVT Cobra.

"If color is a reflection of a vehicle’s personality, Blue Ember transforms the Mustang Dark Horse and highlights a natural saddle-color horse hidden inside the strong chiseled fastback’s exterior form," Carrie Kennerly, Ford senior color and materials designer said. "Multiple elements are combined to give Blue Ember its intriguing and stealthy appearance that really drives home how unique Mustang Dark Horse is."
