A lot has been said about the Ford Mustang for 1993. As Ford's entry in the hatchback market the Mustang (and in this case specically the SVT Cobra R version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 2-door Mustang is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Ford as a brand in general.

The Mustang SVT Cobra R is equipped with a Ford 5.0 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The HO engine is mated to a Borg Warner 5-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.

The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 1993 Mustang is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 15.40 gallons.
