SVT
The Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was
established in 1991 to polish the Ford Oval
by creating low-volume, factory-produced
vehicles designed for people whose idea
of driving is a high-powered, passionate
experience - not just a means of getting
from A to B.
To support such spirited enthusiasm, we
carefully integrated the wide array of talent
in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and
product planners and located them under
one roof with a common mission to create
vehicles specifically designed to meet the
unique needs and desires of the driving
enthusiast.
We produced more than 250,000 SVT
vehicles since 1993 model year including
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
Team RS traces its roots back nearly 60
years from the Lotus Cortina and Twin
Cam Escorts of the mid-1960s, through
the first RS branded Escorts of the 1970s
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 including
the iconic Sierra Cosworth RS500 and
RS200. The first ST vehicle appeared in
1996 as the ST24 Mondeo. The first
collaboration between our European and
North American performance teams
appeared in 2002 as the ST170 in Europe
and SVT Focus in North America. In 2003,
Team RS replaced SVE in Europe when we
brought performance car and motorsport
personnel together as one team.
FORD PERFORMANCE
Welcome to the Ford Performance family!
Performance and racing are deeply
embedded in Ford’s DNA, dating back to
October 10, 1901 when Henry Ford won his
first race against Alexander Winton,
America’s greatest racer at the time. Henry
Ford founded Ford Motor Company 18
months later with capital raised on the
back of this remarkable upset victory.
Today, that spirit of passion, innovation
and performance lives on through Ford
Performance. Established in 2015, the
company’s performance teams -- Ford
Special Vehicle Team (United States),
Team RS (Europe), Ford Performance
(Australia) and Ford Racing (United
States) – have unified under the mission
to create the world’s leading performance
vehicles, parts, accessories and
experiences for enthusiasts. This includes
accelerating the development of advanced
aerodynamics, lightweighting, electronics,
powertrain performance, fuel efficiency
and other technologies that can be applied
across Ford’s product portfolio.
We are proud and passionate about what
we do and we look forward to a long and
exciting relationship with you. Thank you
