PRODUCT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was
established in 1991 to polish the Ford Oval
by creating low-volume, factory-produced
vehicles designed for those select few
whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience – not just a means
of getting from point A to point B.
In a move to support this spirited
enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company carefully
integrated the wide array of talent in the
company into a small, cross-functional
group of engineers and product planners,
housed together under one roof with a
common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique
needs and desires of the knowledgeable
driving enthusiast.
Nearly 250000 SVT vehicles have been
produced since the 1993 model year. These
include the SVT Mustang Cobra and the
Cobra R, the SVT F-150 Lightning, the SVT
Contour, the SVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby
GT500, GT500KR and the F-150 SVT
Raptor.
TEAM RS HISTORY
TeamRS traces its roots back nearly 60
years from the Lotus Ford Cortina and Twin
Cam Escorts of the mid 1960’s, through
the first RS branded Escorts of the 1970’s
to the founding of Special Vehicle
Engineering (SVE) in 1980. Through the
1980s and 90s, SVE delivered a breadth
of vehicles from exciting XR and RS
branded road going performance cars
through homologation specials such as
the iconic Sierra Cosworth RS500. The first
ST (Sport Technology) vehicle appeared
in 1996 as the ST24 Mondeo. The first
collaboration between Ford’s European
and North American performance teams
appeared in 2002 as the ST170 in Europe
and SVT Focus in North America. In 2003,
TeamRS replaced SVE in Europe as
performance car and motorsport personnel
were brought together as one team.
TeamRS subsequently created the 2004
Fiesta ST, 2005 Focus ST and 2009 Focus
RS.
FORD PERFORMANCE
SVT and Team RS officially began working
together as one team in 2009. In 2015,
these two teams, along with Ford Racing,
were formally combined, establishing Ford
Performance as a single team. Ford
Performance is responsible for all
performance- and racing-oriented
products and activities worldwide at Ford
Motor Company. The Fiesta ST represents
the best of what Ford Performance has to
offer from around the globe. Your ST
vehicle has been designed and developed
with the four hallmarks of Ford
Performance in mind: Performance,
Substance, Exclusivity and Value. We are
proud and passionate about what we do,
and we are glad you have made us your
choice.
