European Dark Horse down on power

[Arno_ecobeast]

Apparently EU Dark Horse (which we normally get the same spec?) only has 449hp?

Interesting that one commenter in that video said our DH will have 359kw, down from US spec's 373kw (500bhp)

I would think we'd get the same as NZ. In NZ, the specs and pricing has already been released and the output is the same as the US cars.

i hope so... wonder what the reason for detuning in EU is? its colder than here... lol, what are they detuning their GTs to then...
Hopefully we start getting news from Ford on AU specs and models and pricing, this delay is a bit naff... Surely they can give the 3 staple models and expand from there with pricing?!

449 Hp is less than our GT's current 339 Kw (454.6 Hp) ! If 449 Hp is true for the Euro MY24 GT, it shows good grounds for BREXIT !

Usually even greater "Environmental" regulations and restrictions - thanks to the cloned Radicle Left - Green Control Freaks in charge of the EU "Parliament" imposing their perverse Pseudo-Scientific and gormless Ideological beliefs on the whole EU.

Good point, the KW/Nm figures were identical for AU/NZ cars for the 2023, and Ford NZ states

Dyno results for a Dark Horse in the US:

Dyno results for GT in the US:

Both output 408 rwhp!

 

[Stevefreestyle]

A lot of these MY24 Dynoed cars are not anywhere near Run-In, so will produce conservative and inaccurate results.

This Dark Horse has only around 1000 miles, and ran 444 Hp (SAE) at rear wheels on final pull, suggesting the 500 Hp Spec is conservative!

the amount of comments on the videos saying '300mi is far enough for these engines!'... I dont think so. Hopefully they do show to unlock a bit more. The general feel in the US going by the videos is disappointment but i think its purely a fresh tight engine lol. and its doing the same things as the prev versions... I think its pretty fair, also considering the new emissions stds the new car has to adhere to
