12. Ford Mustang SVO
The third generation of the Ford Mustang appeared as a 1979 model. It brought much-needed modernization to the Mustang range, and not only in design but in technology as well. The new so-called Fox-body Mustang was sleeker, more modern and aerodynamic. It was also somewhat lighter and nimbler, which reflected the performance.
However, the biggest news was the introduction of the turbo engine, a modern device for the time. The Ford Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) department introduced a special Mustang SVO for 1984. It featured a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 175 HP. And that was quite the power output for a small engine. As a light car, the ‘84 Mustang SVO was hot at the moment.
