With the debut of a redesigned Mustang for 1994, SVT applied its unique blend of performance, substance, exclusivity and value to the SN-95 platform and introduced a new, more potent Cobra. The restyled Mustang body abandoned the Fox-based car?s sharp edges in favor of a more sculpted look that better interpreted classic Mustang design cues. The interior was also revamped, featuring a driver-oriented ?twin-cockpit? design and white-faced gauges. The 1994 Cobra?s 5.0-liter V8 delivered 25 more horsepower than the mainstream Mustang GT, thanks to modifications to the cylinder heads, roller rockers, valve springs and upper intake manifold to increase the engine?s ?breathing? ability. Other performance enhancements were made to improve handling, ride and braking, including the addition of 17x8-inch wheels and 13-inch front disc brakes. Later in 1994, the first SVT Mustang Cobra Convertible was offered. Available only in red, it was selected as the Official Pace Car for the 1994 Indianapolis 500.

By 1995 the Ford Special Vehicle Team and its products were an unqualified success, so to further develop the Ford performance brand, all SVT models now wore special ?SVT? exterior badging. This was the final year for Mustang?s venerable 5.0-liter V8 ? long the preferred choice of Ford performance enthusiasts. Coupe versions of the Cobra were offered in Black, Red and White. To enhance the exclusivity of the Cobra convertible, which was available only in black, a removable hardtop option was offered. As the one and only year of the convertible hardtop experiment and with only 499 of the 1,003 droptops built leaving the factory with the optional hardtop, those cars are considered by some collectors to be among the most desirable SVT Cobras ever made.
