Even if the name Clive Sutton doesn’t ring a bell for readers in the US, it carries serious weight across the pond. Known as one of the UK’s top-tier performance car specialists, the company is no stranger to high-end exotics and tuned muscle cars, including a long-running relationship with the Ford Mustang.

Its latest project takes that connection to a new level with the launch of the CS800DH Mustang, a heavily reworked version of Ford’s seventh-gen pony car.

Under the hood, things get serious. Based on the Mustang Dark Horse, the CS800DH’s 5.0-liter V8 is now keeping company to a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, which boosts power from the UK-spec 447 hp to a spectacular 788 hp at 6,700 rpm and 642 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm.
Sutton hasn’t stopped at engine upgrades, as there’s also a Borla exhaust system with a custom H-pipe, a lowered suspension setup, with a set of bespoke Vossen wheels rounding out the performance package.
Perhaps just as impressive as the performance mods made to the Ford are some of the visual and aero upgrades. Immediately catching the eye is an exposed carbon fiber hood with two massive air vents to help extract hot air from the engine bay.
Clive Sutton has then crafted carbon fiber air vents on the front fenders, just like those you’ll find on a Mustang GTD. Other tweaks include a custom carbon fiber diffuser and a larger fixed rear wing, also made from carbon.
The interior of the current Ford Mustang is nice enough, but it’s not particularly special. Clive Sutton has changed that by reupholstering the headliner, seats, dashboard, and door panels in bright blue Alcantara, adding a sense of luxury missing from a regular Mustang. Sure, the blue won’t be to everyone’s taste, but we all love some soft-touch materials, right?

The CS800DH is scheduled to make its public debut at Salon Privé later this August, but whether it justifies its price tag is up for debate. With costs ranging from £135,000 (around $178,000) to £165,000 (about $216,000), it’s deep into territory usually reserved for true sports car royalty.
For that money, buyers could opt for a lightly used McLaren or Porsche 911 GT3, cars with proven track pedigree and refinement. The CS800DH certainly has presence and power, but at this price, it’s not just competing with other Mustangs, it’s stepping into a much tougher league.
