The London-based high-performance vehicle specialist known as Clive Sutton has been importing and selling various Blue Oval models to the public there for some time now, including the sixth-generation Ford Bronco, as well as some rather potent examples of the Ford Mustang that it modifies in-house. Now that the brand new, S650-generation pony car has arrived, it was essentially inevitable that Clive Sutton would continue that tradition with a new line of modified models – and that’s precisely what it has done with the new Ford Mustang Dark Horse CS800DH.
Clive Sutton’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse CS800DH features a large array of upgrades in more than one area, starting on the outside with a carbon fiber front splitter, hood, side skirts, and rear wing, plus Vossen wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot 4S tires. The enhanced pony car rides on a lowered and stiffened suspension setup, while inside, one will find adjustable Recaro seats that are heated and ventilated, along with an MGW short-throw shifter.
In terms of power, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and its 5.0L V8 Coyote engine get a big boost courtesy of a Ford Performance 3.0L Whipple supercharger, which helps lift output to 788 horsepower and 642 pound-feet of torque. It breathes through a Borla ATAK quad-tip exhaust system with a custom H-pipe, too. Better yet, these upgrades ensure that customers retain their factory Blue Oval warranty, and Clive Sutton adds another three-year, 36k-mile warranty of its own to cover all of its modifications.
Those that want more uniqueness can spec their own custom interiors, bespoke finishes, or materials including Alcantara and leather. Otherwise, the Clive Sutton Ford Mustang Dark Horse CS800DH starts out at £135,000-£165,000 ($179k-$219k USD) in base form.
“Our customers love the Mustang and consistently turn to us to unleash its full performance capability, alongside accessing our suite of distinctive exterior and interior enhancements,” said founder Clive Sutton. “With 788 horsepower, the full Ford Performance warranty, a glorious supercharger whine and our bespoke exhaust, there’s nothing like the CS800DH Mustang!”

I'm not sure what's more disrespectful to the Mustang legacy the mach-e or this HIDEOUS color!
Classy makeover? Hate to say it but from a pure looks standpoint, it's more tacky than classy.
