The newest Ford Mustang Dark Horse R race car transfers a lot of tech from the street to the track, for a price.
20 PhotosThe Dark Horse R gets its name and many of its parts from the street-legal Mustang Dark Horse performance model. In many respects, the technology flows against the current with this particular car, transferring from the street to the racetrack. This"entry-level" race car isn't for casual hobbyists, though. It costs $145,000. Here's what makes a Dark Horse R and how it's different than the road car.
Michelin Pilot Sport racing slicks wrap around flow-formed Ford Performance wheels that measure 10.5 x 19 inches in front and 11.0 x 19 inches at the rear.Both the Dark Horse and the R use monobloc six-piston aluminum Brembo front calipers, but that's where the similarities end. The race car's stoppers are forged for greater strength and stiffness over the road car's cast units, and they weigh a feathery 6.9 pounds each. A front caliper on the road car weighs 17.0 pounds.
