SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991. SVT was
commissioned to create factory-produced driver’s cars and trucks;
vehicles that possess a balance between engine and chassis, roadholding
and a supple ride, refinement and performance capability. These qualities
are the core of the SVT product development philosophy.
To support SVT, Ford Motor Company created a dedicated product
development group, Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE). In October
2001, Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) was renamed Special Vehicle
Team/Engineering (SVT/Engineering).The nucleus of Ford SVT is a
small, cross-functional group of engineers, product planners, and
marketing people who meet on a weekly basis to ensure SVT vehicles
and their mission remain focused. SVT draws heavily on the talents and
knowledge of other driving enthusiasts at Ford who work in the key
disciplines of design, product development, manufacturing, and
marketing. The heart of the SVT philosophy is a deep commitment to
skillful and enthusiastic driving. The ultimate goal of everyone at SVT is
to create vehicles that speak to the needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.

Every SVT vehicle produced has been designed and developed with four
key virtues in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value.
These hallmarks have driven the SVT Mustang Cobra since 1993, the
original SVT Lightning from 1993 to 1995, the SVT Contour introduced
in early 1997 as a 1998 model, and the 1999–2004 SVT F-150 Lightning.
