Ford Motor Company's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) anticipates record sales of nearly 23,000 this year. That's 10,000 more than any other year in its 10-year history.

The SVT lineup features the fastest and most powerful production Mustang ever, the world's fastest production pickup, and the reigning champion of the Edmunds.com Sport Hatchback Comparison Test.

 

With 2008 Ford GT production returning to full capacity, the Ford Special Vehicle Team looks to the future. Also making headlines at the 2008 New York Auto Show is the rebirth of the Shelby Cobra GT500 – a 450-plus horsepower SVT-engineered show car designed in the unmistakable image of the famed Shelby Mustangs of the late 1960s. And as if that wasn't enough, SVT also took the wraps off another "production teaser," the high-performance Sport Trac Adrenalin sport utility truck.

Shelby, SVT TEAM UP ON A MODERN GT500
THE POWERFUL MUSTANG COBRA EVER

The most powerful factory-built Ford Mustang in history takes to the street, following a unique collaboration between performance car legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT).

Ford took the wraps off the 450-plus-horsepower Ford Shelby Cobra GT500  at the New York International Auto Show. Designed in the unmistakable image of Shelby Mustangs of the 1960s, the Shelby Cobra GT500 combines SVT's modern engineering with the big-block performance that made the original GT500 a legend.
