SVT
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) wasestablished in 1991 to polish the Ford Ovalby creating low-volume, factory-producedvehicles designed for those select fewwhose idea of driving is a high-powered,passionate experience – not just a meansof getting from point A to point B.
In a move to support this spiritedenthusiasm, Ford Motor Company carefullyintegrated the wide array of talent in thecompany into a small, cross-functionalgroup of engineers and product planners,housed together under one roof with acommon mission: to create vehiclesspecifically designed to meet the uniqueneeds and desires of the knowledgeabledriving enthusiast.
More than 400,000 SVT and FordPerformance vehicles were produced sincethe 1993 model year. These include theSVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, theSVT F-150 Lightning, the SVT Contour, theSVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT350, ShelbyGT500, GT500KR and the F-150 SVTRaptor.
TEAM RS
Team RS traces its roots back nearly 60years from the Lotus Ford Cortina and TwinCam Escorts of the mid 1960’s, throughthe first RS branded Escorts of the 1970’sto the founding of Special VehicleEngineering (SVE) in 1980. Through the1980s and 90s, SVE delivered a breadthof vehicles from exciting XR and RSbranded road going performance carsthrough homologation specials such asthe iconic Sierra Cosworth RS500. The firstST (Sport Technology) vehicle appearedin 1996 as the ST24 Mondeo. The firstcollaboration between Ford’s Europeanand North American performance teamsappeared in 2002 as the ST170 in Europe
and SVT Focus in North America. In 2003,Team RS replaced SVE in Europe asperformance car and motorsport personnelwere brought together as one team. TeamRS subsequently created the 2004 FiestaST, 2005 Focus ST and 2009 Focus RS.
