The Ford Mustang Convertible is the soft-top version of the seventh-generation car, built on the same line at Flat Rock, Michigan, and sharing the coupe’s 2,720 mm wheelbase and 4,810 mm length. The fabric roof folds electrically at the touch of a button, and a convertible has been part of the Mustang range on and off since 1964, continuously since 1983.
Two powertrains are on sale today. The 2.3-litre EcoBoost four makes 315 hp and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) and starts at $40,440, while the GT Premium convertible uses the 5.0-litre Coyote V8 for 480 hp, or 486 hp with the active-valve exhaust, and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) from $56,580. Both figures exclude the $1,995 destination charge. The GT can be had with a six-speed manual; the EcoBoost is automatic only.
Ford revealed a third version on 14 August 2026: the Dark Horse SC Convertible, which brings the supercharged 5.2-litre Predator V8 to an open-top Mustang for the first time, at 795 hp and 660 lb-ft (895 Nm) through a seven-speed dual-clutch. Removing a roof costs a car torsional stiffness, so Ford added a lightweight magnesium tower-to-tower brace across the engine bay and fitted next-generation MagneRide adaptive dampers at all four corners, on springs and anti-roll bars specific to this car. The tuning is deliberately softer than the coupe’s: Ford describes the result as a grand tourer rather than a lap-time car. Ford calls it its first new open-air high-performance model in 13 years.
The Dark Horse SC Convertible arrives with a new Precision Purple paint, which brings its own brake-caliper colour, and a choice of Black Onyx or Space Gray interiors. Order books open in the autumn of 2026 and first deliveries are due in spring 2027. Ford has not published a price for it, and the $108,485 figure in circulation is the coupe’s delivered price, not the convertible’s.
