During his opening remarks, Ford CEO Jim Farley referred to Dark Horse as a sub-brand.<\/p>\n<div id=\"6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\" max-height=\"306\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\" max-height=\"600\"> <\/div>\n<p><script>\n var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== \"DESKTOP\"){\n    adpushup.triggerAd(\"4d84e4c9-9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a\");\n             }\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(\"6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657\");\n}         });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In particular, the executive said &ldquo;We &hellip; took our product portfolio from too many generic vehicles and infused it with passion and purpose. We built out our iconic F-Series and Transit lines, as well as passion vehicles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford-mustang\/\">Mustang<\/a> and the new Bronco lineup, and sub-brands like Raptor and Tremor and Dark Horse.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/08\/ford-mustang-set-to-spawn-four-door-coupe-and-off-road-variant\/\">Ford Teases Dealers With 4-Door And Off-Road Mustangs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s interesting as we&rsquo;ve only seen one mainstream Dark Horse so far. It&rsquo;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2022\/09\/2024-ford-mustang-dark-horse-is-the-most-track-focused-5-0-liter-v8-model-ever\/\">Mustang Dark Horse coupe<\/a>, which starts at $68,275. While the company also offers a Dark Horse R race car, a true sub-brand would likely need to consist of more than that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-a-mid',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article',\n    placement: 'Mid Article',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\n  _taboola.push({\n    mode: 'thumbnails-oc-2x1',\n    container: 'taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic',\n    placement: 'Mid Article Thumbnails Organic',\n    target_type: 'mix'\n  });\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This could suggest a drop top is in the works and that seems possible as dealers were reportedly shown a high-performance convertible with a V8 engine as well as a manual transmission. At the time, we speculated it could be a Dark Horse variant, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autonews.com\/future-product\/ford-planning-4-door-road-mustangs-dealers-told\">Automotive News<\/a>, which broke the story, described it as being like a GT350 or GT500 without Shelby badging.<\/p>\n<p>That same report also mentioned a Mustang four-door coupe called the Mach-4. It&rsquo;s possible that variant could also be in line to receive a Dark Horse variant as well.<\/p>\n<p>While only time will tell what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ford\/\">Ford<\/a> has planned, the Raptor sub-brand consists of the Bronco Raptor, Ranger Raptor, and F-150 Raptor. Likewise, there are Maverick and F-150 Tremors and we wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised to see the Ranger Tremor return to America.<\/p>\n<div id=\"e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130\"
