In-game description[]
This description is taken from the NTSC-U version of Gran Turismo 2:
The SVT Cobra gets the same "New Edge" styling makeover as other Mustangs for 1999, and an increase in power. But that's not the big news. For the first time, the SVT Cobra has independent rear suspension (IRS) for significantly improved handling, especially on bumpy roads. This is a first in the "pony car" class, and also makes the SVT Cobra one of the few rear-wheel drive American cars to ever use an independent rear suspension. The short-and-long arm rear suspension was designed to fit existing mounting points, and so can be retro-fitted to any current-generation Mustang. The SVT Cobra's IRS makes optimum use of its DOHC 4.6-liter engine's new found power. Previous versions weren't exactly weak, but the '99 model gets 320 BHP at 6,000 rpm and 315 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm, and increase of 20 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque. With its sophisticated engine and suspension, and a full range of standard creature comforts, the '99 version of the Mustang SVT Cobra is the ultimate pony car.

Trivia[]
- There is an unfinished model of this car hidden in the game files of the pre-release NTSC-U Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec Demo Disc, as well as the pre-release PAL GT3 Official PlayStation 2 Magazine Demo Volume 5; implying that there were plans for this car to appear in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. However, the unfinished car model was never completed, and the car was cut from the final release altogether.[1]
- Strangely, that same incomplete Mustang SVT Cobra '99 model can also be found hidden in the game files of Gran Turismo Concept 2001 Tokyo, likely as a leftover from beta GT3. This could imply that this car was originally planned to get fully finished and included in GT Concept, but those plans were scrapped regardless.
