PRODUCT HISTORY
The History of Special Vehicle
Team (SVT)
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was
established in 1991 to polish the Ford Oval
by creating low-volume, factory-produced
vehicles designed for those select few
whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means
of getting from point A to point B.
In a move to support this spirited
enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company carefully
integrated the wide array of talent in the
company into a small, cross-functional
group of engineers and product planners,
housed together under one roof with a
common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique
needs and desires of the knowledgeable
driving enthusiast.
Each of nearly 150000 SVT vehicles
produced since the 1993 model year has
been designed and developed with the four
SVT Hallmarks in mind:
Performance
Substance
Exclusivity
Value
These hallmarks have driven the SVT
Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, the SVT
F-150 Lightning, the SVT Contour, the SVT
Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT500, GT500KR
and the F-150 SVT Raptor.
We are proud and passionate about what
we do, and we’re glad you have made us
your choice.
