In-game description

"The special, ultimate Mustang built by craftsmen at SVT."


SVT is the name of what could be called Ford's elite group of craftsmen. Since the middle of the '90s, most of Ford's high-performance concept models have been born here. Enter the Cobra R: SVT's ultimate Mustang. This model had a limited release of only 106 units in 1993, 250 units in 1995, and then 300 units in 2000. Based on the Mustang, which underwent a full model change in 1994, when the Cobra R was released in 1995 the limited number of vehicles produced sold out in the blink of an eye, and production was ended. But with the Cobra base model's evolution of rear-wheel independent suspension, the car was brought back in 2000. It goes without saying that the new Cobra R, based on a new model chassis, blew the older generation model away in total performance, and 300 of them were sent out to especially hardcore Mustang fans.

The reason that so few Cobra Rs were manufactured is simply because the production cost is so extremely high. The actual components of the Cobra R, regardless of the model, are mostly special parts.

Loaded into the 2000 model Cobra R wasn't the standard Mustang 4.6L SOHC, or even a DOHC 4-valve, but it was an all-aluminum 5.4-liter DOHC 4-valve V8, capable of a maximum output of 385 HP. Of course, a special chassis and suspension were employed to handle this kind of power, and the car was comparable to a street-legal "commercial racer".

Whereas the Cobra R standard GT carried a price tag of $20,000 and the Cobra cost $28,000, this model went for a whopping $54,000. But considering the car that everything from the engine to the underbody was tuned at the hands of a master craftsman, the price is not at all unreasonable.
