Max Verstappen just took Ford’s newest muscle car for a spin, and it’s exactly as wild as you’d imagine.
The three-time F1 world champion pushed a Mustang Dark Horse to its limits in a new promotional video that’s got fans buzzing. Ford released the footage to showcase their upcoming partnership with Red Bull Racing’s F1 team.
“Living on the Limit” shows Verstappen doing what he does best – finding the absolute edge of what a car can do. And this isn’t just any Mustang.
The Dark Horse packs a serious punch with its V8 engine, churning out 453 horsepower. It’ll rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds.
Fans are already wondering if we’ll see Verstappen testing other Ford performance cars, especially the upcoming Mustang GTD. But for now, there’s no word on future test drives.
This isn’t just about showing off a cool car, though. There’s a bigger story here.
Red Bull Racing is gearing up for a major change in 2026. That’s when they’ll end their partnership with Honda and start building their own F1 engines for the first time ever – with Ford’s help.
It’s a huge move for both companies. Honda’s heading off to power Aston Martin’s F1 cars, while Red Bull and Ford will join forces under the name “Red Bull Ford Powertrains.”
The partnership’s already looking promising if this video’s anything to go by. After all, who better to test Ford’s fastest cars than the guy who’s currently dominating Formula 1?
