"A BrickScore 81 Highly Recommended Speed Champions entry that earns its tier through exceptional building techniques and strong value at $0.078 per piece, with 4.77 stars across 3,196 owner ratings confirming broad appeal even if its understated dark blue styling is less immediately striking than flashier competitors in the 2024 wave."
Five reviewers agree the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is the sleeper hit of its Speed Champions wave, a set that looked unassuming in promotional images but won over nearly every reviewer with its innovative building techniques. The taillights assembly using dual-printed tiles is consistently called out as among the most ingenious solutions in recent Speed Champions history. At $26.99 for 344 pieces, owner ratings are exceptional (4.77 stars across 3,196 ratings), and critics broadly align, though Brickset places it last among the 2024 single-car releases on display presence, and one reviewer flags the price creep from earlier Speed Champions generations.
Where they split: Brickset places the Dark Horse as their least favorite single-car set in the 2024 Speed Champions wave due to its understated appearance, while RacingBrick calls it 'the absolute positive surprise' of the wave and the best building solution in the release. The split is clearly aesthetic: reviewers who value display drama prefer flashier cars, while those who value technique rate this very highly.

"I think of the 2024 Speedchampions (so far) this is the only car you might actually find on the streets. All this year's other cars seem to be meant for racing tracks only."
