After the success of the 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra R, SVT and its engineers started planning for a more powerful Cobra R competition package based on the SN95 platform. Only 250 vehicles were built, with the ’95 edition varying greatly from its predecessor. Requests for a larger engine were granted, with the ’95 offering a 5.8L V-8. Another racing modification made was for more fuel capacity, as a 20 gallon Fuel-Safe™ fuel cell was included. Heavy-duty progressive-rate springs improved suspension, thicker stabilizer bars were added, and a front strut tower brace was also included to enhance structural rigidity. To handle the torque of the more powerful engine, a Tremec™ five-speed manual transmission was installed. External changes included the installation of a hood tall enough to clear the engine and induction system. Also, the fog lights were omitted, replaced by ducts to channel cool air to the front brakes.
