SVT Cobra (Cobra) is a high-performance version of the Ford Mustang, the top model. Its status in the Mustang family was higher than that of the Mustang GT and Mach 1 at the time.

This model appeared in 1993 and was replaced by the Shelby GT500 in 2007.

This SVT Cobra family codenamed SN-95, produced in 1997. This generation of models was produced from 1996 to 1998.

When the time came to 1996, Ford finally decided to eliminate the old 5.0L V8 engine previously used in the Mustang GT and SVT Cobra, and replaced it with a new aluminum 4.6L DOHC engine, which ran more smoothly. , the fuel economy is better.

Beginning with the 1996 model year, every Mustang Cobra's engine was hand-assembled by technicians at the Ford Romeo Engine Plant in Romeo, Michigan, USA. Each engine had a label (an obvious imitation of the AMG marketing), signed on it.

This new engine can produce 305 horsepower (227 kilowatts) and 300 pound-feet (410 Newton-meters) of torque, allowing the car to reach 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, 6800 Turn to the red line and cut off the oil at 7000 rpm. Sorry, I can't do it with 7200.

Ford's 4.6-liter V8 is a bit brighter. The engine's aluminum block is cast in Italy by Teksid, a company that makes parts for Ferrari and Formula One.

This car is also equipped with a BorgWarner T-45 5-speed manual transmission, which is extremely durable.
