1993 SVT Mustang Cobra
The inaugural year for the SVT Mustang Cobra, 1993, was also the last for the Fox-body Mustang. As such, the 1993 is the only Fox-body Cobra produced. Developed quickly with the use of off-the-shelf parts such as GT-40 cylinder heads from Ford Racing, the 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra boasted 235 horsepower from its 5.0-liter V-8, as well as larger vented front and rear brakes. Available only with a Borg-Warner T-5 manual transmission, the SVT Cobra’s 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds offered a distinct performance advantage over the mainstream Mustang GT.To help set it apart, SVT added subtle exterior enhancements, inducing a restyled front valance with round fog lamps, unique 17-inch seven-spoke alloy wheels, a rear deck wing and special Cobra badging.
