Great Find!!! Though it’s very vague when it comes to the Power, only to say that it just mentions the Coyote as the Power plant so it may remain the same HP at 500 just as with the GT350 and GT350R. Very interesting I‘ll say.

most they say is "over 500hp"

I wonder if whatever engine tune they're using will go into something street-legal, maybe a Dark Horse RS? Would fill/create the spot for a BOSS-esque car while not cannibalizing itself, maybe...

they teased back when they showed off the Dark Horse R a Dark Horse S street version was in the works, havent heard anything about it since however.

I think the Dark Horse S is also a track car, no?

possibly, theyve never actually shown the Dark Horse S, only mentioned it in conversation alongside the Dark Horse R.

maybe its that car they teased at the anniversary event.

The GT350 and GT350R were both street cars. The Dark Horse R will be strictly a race car only. The race version of the GT350 was called the FP350S and had a 5.2 liter engine but it didn't use a flat plane crank (like the GT350 and GTG350R) due the unreliable nature of the flat plane crank engine.

The S and the R versions started back with the S197 Boss 302's. There were slight differences between the two versions, but both were race cars. I would assume that will be the case with the Dark Horse also.

Whoa!! Didn’t know all of that. I just thought that the 350R was meant to be a mainly Track only car but was street legal. Good info and now I’ll read up on that FP350S.
