While Ford may be looking into a potential sedan version of the Mustang, enthusiasts keep putting an aftermarket touch on the latest generation muscle car.
Truthfully, this model does not need any extra work unless we're talking about boosting its performance by applying some much-needed elbow grease to the Coyote V8. But every once in a while, it needs new wheels to celebrate its fifteen minutes of fame, like the one pictured above.
As the title mentions, it is a 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse that rides on new wheels. The alloys are called the RFG19 Trinity and came from Rohana. They were made in California using aero-space grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, have carbon fiber options, can be specified in numerous colors, and are also available in Unibloc and Tandem besides the Trinity.
Rohana reveals that these alloys can be equipped to a variety of vehicles from different classes. Their diameter varies between 18 and 24 inches, with respective widths of 8.5-13 inches. And if you want to talk about the Benjamins, then you should know that each wheel starts at $1,500 in the smallest offering, albeit with no options like the center-locking or a premium finish.

What else should you know about this Ford Mustang Dark Horse? It doesn't feature any more aftermarket goodies. Thus, the front apron, side skirts, aggressive hood, the large rear wing, and even the muscular wheel arches came straight from the factory. The muscle car features a white paint finish and several blacked-out elements. The aforementioned wheels have a gray look and were wrapped in Michelin tires with white branding.
Powering the Dark Horse is a superior variant of the Coyote V8 that produces 500 horsepower (507 ps/373 kW) at 7,250 rpm and 418 pound-foot (567 Nm) of torque at 4,900 rpm. That's slightly more than the normal GT, which sits below the Dark Horse in the S650 generation Mustang family that also comprises the EcoBoost, a 2.3L four-banger making 315 hp (320 ps/235 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 350 pound-feet (475 Nm) of torque at 3,000 rpm. The GT's V8 makes 480 hp (487 ps/358 kW) and 415 lb-ft (563 Nm).
Ford's Mustang Dark Horse currently tops the lineup with an MSRP of $62,180 in the Premium grade and $58,185 in the regular flavor. The lesser Mustang GT Premium and GT can be ordered from $46,480 and $41,960, respectively. The GT Convertible is a $51,980 affair, and the open-top EcoBoost and EcoBoost Premium start at $41,945 and $39,020, respectively. The EcoBoost Premium Fastback has an MSRP of $36,445, and the base Mustang kicks off at $30,920. All prices exclude the destination charge and dealer markups, though if you know where to look, you might land one with a serious discount.
