Clive Sutton’s CS800DH Mustang Dark Horse Packs 788bhp Power Boost

Staying true to his reputation for high-powered American muscle, Sutton’s newest creation swaps out subtlety for sheer performance.

At the heart of the build is a 3.0-litre Whipple supercharger, bolted onto the Mustang’s factory 5.0-litre V8. The result? A dramatic power increase from 447bhp to 788bhp, a jaw-dropping 76% jump. Torque figures climb just as impressively, rising 61% to 642lb ft.

To support the performance gains, Sutton has also fitted a custom Borla cat-back exhaust for that raw V8 soundtrack, paired with a short-shifter for the manual gearbox. The MagneRide suspension has been upgraded, too, now riding lower and stiffer to handle the extra grunt.

Visually, the CS800DH gets a full carbon fibre makeover. The front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, bonnet, rear wing, and even the headlight surrounds have all been reworked in lightweight carbon. Completing the aggressive look is a set of 20-inch bronzed Vossen wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.

Inside the cabin, buyers will find bespoke Recaro seats with heating and cooling functions, Alcantara detailing, and a full leather retrim. Customization is key here; buyers can specify their colour schemes for the interior materials.

Pricing for the CS800DH starts at £135,000, rising to £165,000 depending on options. However, each build includes both a Clive Sutton and Ford Performance three-year warranty, offering peace of mind along with the power.

“Our customers love the Mustang and consistently turn to us to unleash its full performance capability,” said Sutton. “With 788bhp, the full Ford Performance warranty, a glorious supercharger whine, and our bespoke exhaust, there’s nothing like the CS800DH Mustang.”

With bold looks, a massive performance boost, and a full warranty to back it up, the CS800DH is one of the wildest road-legal Mustangs ever to hit UK streets. Stay tuned for more performance car news and builds from Clive Sutton and beyond.
