Henry Payne: Ho-Ho-Horsepower: '24 Mustang gets most powerful 5.0-liter V-8 yet

The new, 2024 Ford Mustang will deliver 500 horsepower, making it the most powerful, 5.0-liter V-8 engine in the muscle car's 60-year history.

Merry Christmas and a Howling New Year.

That power will come from the pony car's track-inspired, 5.0-liter V8-powered Dark Horse, a new badge in the tradition of Mustang's performance Mach 1, Bullitt and Shelby models that will debut next year alongside the standard EcoBoost and GT models. To put the 500 horsepower in perspective, that's the same grunt that powered the legendary 1967 7.0-liter V8-powered Ford Mach IV (on display in the Henry Ford) to victory over Ferrari at Le Mans.
