Ford Mustang Cobra R (1995)
Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) department was responsible for some of the fastest muscle cars of the last 25 years. In 1995, they presented another Cobra R. Only 250 examples left the factory. The buyers were individuals with a racing license or private teams (via Hagerty).
Under the hood was a tuned 5.8-liter V8 engine that delivered 300 hp and 356 lb.-ft of torque. Even though this kind of power is not that impressive today, it was a significant number in 1995. Since the Cobra R was a relatively light car, the performance was excellent. The 0 to 60 mph time took 5.2 seconds, making it one of the fastest-accelerating American production models.
