Introduction
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
tyres 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.
