Hennessey's Insane $24,950 Upgrade Turns Mustang Dark Horse into a 850-HP Beast You Must See to Believe
The H850 Mustang Dark Horse, thanks to Hennessey's powerhouse upgrades, rockets from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.2 seconds and blazes through the quarter-mile at an astounding 10.9 seconds. These figures alone place it in the elite league of contemporary muscle cars.

Last year, Hennessey pulled back the curtain on its thrilling new variant: the H850 Mustang Dark Horse, packing a supercharged punch with 850 horsepower and a neck-snapping 650 lb-ft of torque. Fast forward to the present, and the Texas-based tuner has disclosed fresh performance data that underscores its beastly capabilities. The H850 Mustang Dark Horse doesn't just meet expectations; it obliterates them.
Performance Specs that Turn Heads
The standard Dark Horse Mustang, powered by a 10-speed automatic transmission, makes a fairly quick sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. However, the Hennessey-tuned H850 takes it a notch higher by trimming off half a second, achieving the same in just 3.2 seconds. Its quarter-mile performance is just as impressive—completing the stretch in 10.9 seconds at 133 mph—eclipsing many stock competitors like the Corvette Stingray, while still keeping the E-Ray and Z06 within sight.
Powerhouse Modifications Under the Hood
What transforms the standard Mustang into this marvel? A series of engine tweaks including a high-performance supercharger, high-flow air induction system, advanced engine management software, upgraded fuel injectors, and a new fuel pump. Whether you prefer a 10-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission, the upgrade is versatile enough to accommodate both.
―Our supercharged H850 Mustang Dark Horse builds on Ford's commitment to delivering unparalleled driving thrills. With Hennessey's meticulous enhancements, the H850 stands as an embodiment of American automotive performance," said John Hennessey, the company's founder and CEO.
What Will This Beast Cost You?
Buckle up, because this level of performance doesn't come cheap. The standard H850 upgrade package is priced at $24,950. When combined with the $58,935 starting price of a Dark Horse Mustang, the base price totals a lofty $83,885. However, this price point offers considerable value for a staggering 850-hp machine. Additional options like the Performance Wheel package for $4,950 and Heritage Graphics available in an array of colors at $4,500 give you more ways to personalize your beastly ride.
Added Luxuries and Assurance
Each H850 Mustang also comes with a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty. Additionally, owners will find Hennessey-embroidered headrests, H850 badges, and a serial-numbered engine plaque, adding an extra layer of exclusivity. Hennessey continues to offer exceptional upgrade packages across its lineup, including packages for the formidable F-150 Raptor R-based Velociraptor, Ranger Raptor, and Bronco Raptor.
In essence, Hennessey's H850 Mustang Dark Horse represents a thrilling convergence of raw power and refined engineering. It's not just a car—it’s a definitive statement of what American muscle can achieve in the hands of expert tuners.
