The 2024 Ford Mustang Darkish Horse is, by all accounts, an excellent automobile. But, as befits the title, it was fully sudden — a brand-new efficiency oriented trim stage, 60 years into the Mustang’s dynasty? Why? What may the variations probably be from the GT, SVT, Cobra, or Shelby monikers?

That’s the query Savagegeese got down to reply. By talking with the seventh-generation Mustang’s chief engineer, model supervisor, exterior and inside designers, and digital experiences supervisor, Jack and Mark aimed to determine the story of the Darkish Horse — the place it got here from, what it’s right here to do, and the way it’s completely different.

The thought, based on Ford, was to carry the Mustang into the long run. The corporate wished to make one thing that may attraction to a youthful demographic, get The Youths within the Mustang by introducing one thing new to the lineup — a trim stage with out pedigree, historical past, or legacy, that would start to construct these up for itself.

Whether or not it is going to work, in fact, is but to be seen. As a Youth myself, relative to the common age of a brand new automobile purchaser within the U.S., the Darkish Horse does attraction to me — it’s novel, fashionable, fascinating. But, like most different Youths, I don’t have 60 grand kicking round for a brand new Mustang. If Ford really needs to focus on a youthful purchaser, that price ticket could also be an insurmountable hurdle.

Savagegeese’s video is, as at all times, definitely worth the watch. The pair have turn into a number of the most interesting automotive documentarians on YouTube, and so they’re at all times bringing the fascinating tales behind new automobiles out into the open. It’s a Friday afternoon, what else are you doing whilst you faux to work?
