Marking 10 years as the leader in factory performance products, Ford unveiled the SVT Mustang Cobra 10th Anniversary Package.
The SVT Mustang Cobra, which began production in 1993, celebrates its 10th Anniversary with a special edition package. During the past 10 years, more than 100,000 SVT vehicles have been produced, 60 percent of which have been SVT Mustang Cobras.
The 10th Anniversary Package will be available as either a coupe or convertible, and features unique 17×9-inch dark argent painted anniversary wheels, red leather seating surfaces in the front and rear, interior trim with the appearance of carbon fiber, red painted brake calipers, and SVT 10th Anniversary badges on the floor mats and rear decklid.
SVT will produce 2,003 units of the Anniversary model, which will be available in Torch Red, Black Clearcoat, and Silver Metallic. Production is slated to begin next summer.
