1993 Ford Mustang

For 1993, Ford released three limited edition Mustangs:

A yellow LX 5.0L convertible with white interior of which 1,419 were produced. A white on white convertible of which 1,460 were produced.

Finally, a new Cobra model was introduced mid-year with its 5.0 litre V8 tweaked to 235 bhp, while changes to the SAE rating method dropped the regular 5.0 V8 to 200 bhp.

The Cobra was produced by Ford’s Special Vehicles Team (SVT) which had taken over the functions of the former SVO group.

The Cobra benefited from engine improvements developed by Ford tuner Jack Roush, as well as huge 245/45ZR17 Goodyear Eagle tires on 17″ wheels.

Performance was good and a remarkable 4,993 cars were sold in just half a year.

Although the Cobra injected some excitement in the Mustang lineup, the basic design had been unchanged for 14 years. But big things were in the works for 1994.
