of the SVT philosophy is a deep commitment to skillful and enthusiastic
driving. The ultimate goal of everyone at SVT and SVE is to create

driving enthusiast.
Every SVT vehicle produced has been designed and developed with four
key virtues in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value.
These hallmarks have driven the SVT Mustang Cobra since 1993, the
original SVT Lightning from 1993 to 1995, the SVT Contour introduced
in early 1997 as a 1998 model, and the 1999 SVT F-150 Lightning.
