SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to “Polish
the Ford Oval” by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed
together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.
