SVT No Longer; 2007 Shelby Cobra Mustang Will End the Run
Tags: Ford, Mustang
I remember hearing about this in the past, but now sources inside the company are starting confirm the rumors that the Special Vehicle Team (SVT) of Ford Motor Company will soon be meeting its end, possibly as soon as April 1, 2006. But don’t worry, the 2007 SVT Cobra Mustang2007 SVT Cobra Mustang will still be available and still adorn the SVT badges.
So what went wrong?
It appears that the balls-out effort to build the Ford GT by the company’s 100th anniversary took its toll on the SVT staff, slowing development of more mainstream future products, such as the next-generation Lightning, an updated SVT Focus and an SVT version of the Fusion. The Ford executives who oversaw SVT, group vice presidents Steve Lyons and Phil Martens, didn’t give SVT the resources it needed to rebuild.
I would suspect that the 2007 model will turn into some sort of collectors item, so start saving your money and get one in the upcoming year.
