2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC Unveiled

Ford Racing Redefines the Track-Focused Street Mustang

On Thursday evening, January 15, Ford Racing officially unveiled the 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC at its 2026 Season Launch event, and the message was unmistakable. This is not a styling exercise, a nostalgia play, or a half-step special edition. The Dark Horse SC is Ford Racing’s most serious attempt yet at delivering a race-developed Mustang for the street, and it effectively assumes the role once occupied by the Shelby GT500.

With Ford no longer holding rights to use the Shelby name, the responsibility of carrying the Mustang’s flagship performance identity now sits squarely with Ford Racing and Ford Performance. The Dark Horse SC is the result. Positioned above the standard Dark Horse and below the extreme Mustang GTD, it establishes a new internal hierarchy defined less by branding and more by engineering intent.

A Program Led by Racing Engineers, Not Marketers...

Hot Rod Power Tour 2026 Goes Full Americana: Route 66, Coast to Coast, and Flat-Out Glory

Category: Car Shows, Events, Racing

There are Power Tours, and then there are statements. For 2026, Hot Rod Power Tour isn’t just rolling out another multi-day road trip. It’s planting its flag squarely in American hot-rodding mythology and pointing the nose of the convoy straight down Route 66.

Hot Rod has officially announced that the 2026 Hot Rod Power Tour will take over the Mother Road, turning one of the most iconic highways in automotive history into a weeklong rolling car show, endurance run, and cultural throwback. It’s the kind of move that feels inevitable in hindsight. If you’re going to celebrate horsepower, freedom, and mechanical individuality, you do it on the road that defined all three.

According to the announcement, Power Tour 2026 will run June 2026, stretching across multiple states as thousands of hot rods, muscle cars, late-model performance machines, customs, and survivor iron thunder westward from the Midwest toward the Pacific. Full event details, dates, and city-by-city stop information are being maintained by Hot Rod and can be found on the official event page here:

Rebels with a Cause

Category: Business, Business

The $32 billion car-customizing industry lets owners have it their way. Individualized ring tones, lattes your way, Build-a-Bears and the myriad of other products that proclaim, “Hey, this is me!” are oh-so-new-millennial cool. But putting personal stamps on mass-market products started at least a half-century ago, when James Dean played chicken in his dechromed Mercury Coupe in 1955’s “Rebel Without a Cause.” And today, car and truck customization — making slight alterations to the o...

Fusion marches past Camry - Ford's power, fit and finish trump Toyota's warhorse

Category: Vehicles

When we decided to stage the definitive showdown between two of the top family sedans in North America, our choices quickly narrowed to the newest and most popular designs on the market: The 2006 Ford Fusion and the 2007 Toyota Camry. The historic battle in this segment between Ford and Toyota, which dates back nearly two decades, has been so fierce that when the Taurus edged the Camry for the U.S. sales crown one year, Ford’s public-relations department hired a marching band to trumpet...
