Ford is discontinuing the Track Pack Special Edition of its Mustang Dark Horse SC for the 2027 model year, as it introduces a Dark Horse SC convertible.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Performance Vehicles
Ford is discontinuing the Mustang Dark Horse SC Track Pack Special Edition for the 2027 model year. The Track Pack, which cost $31,980 and was locked to the 970A High Package, is being dropped as Ford introduces a Dark Horse SC convertible.
Why it matters
The move removes a higher-priced performance configuration of the Dark Horse SC from the lineup, leaving buyers with the standard model and the new convertible. The change affects buyers weighing the Dark Horse SC's top-tier trim options.
The Track Pack added $31,980 to the Dark Horse SC, lifting the 2026 price to $144,985 from a $108,485 base before destination. A fully loaded configuration reached $175,965, and Ford has not published a production cap for the Track Pack.
The players
Ford Motor Company
Ford is the Detroit-based automaker that builds the Mustang and its Dark Horse performance variants, and it has used the Track Pack to differentiate its top-tier Mustang offerings.
The details
The Track Pack Special Edition added a black-painted roof, Race Red Brembo calipers on carbon-ceramic brakes, and a Carbon Fiber Exterior Package. It also included 3D-printed titanium shift components, serialized instrument-panel badging, Solar Red Recaro seats, and hood and decklid graphics.
Timeline
2026 model year: Dark Horse SC and Track Pack Special Edition first offered.
2027 model year: Track Pack Special Edition discontinued and Dark Horse SC convertible introduced.
Roadmap
The Track Pack's removal and the Dark Horse SC convertible's arrival show Ford consolidating its top-end Mustang variants around a single performance platform. The change places Ford's flagship Mustang pricing against rival high-performance sports cars in the six-figure segment.
Buyers considering a Dark Horse SC will face a $36,500 price gap between the base car and the Track Pack configuration, which is no longer available after the 2026 model year. Shoppers who want the Track Pack's brake and interior upgrades will need to act before it is discontinued.
The takeaway
For shoppers, the practical choice is between the standard Dark Horse SC and the new convertible before the Track Pack leaves the lineup. Comparing options against the $144,985 Track Pack price can help set a realistic budget.
