In 1986, the Mustang SVO was discontinued due to government regulations. The last year of production saw the removal of two gray and two blue colors, and the addition of a third brake light. The number of engine options was reduced to four: the 4-cylinder with and without turbo, a V6, and a redesigned high-output V8. The redesigned V8 featured a multi-port fuel injection system. 1986 was the Mustang's largest production year since 1979, with 224,410 cars built, a record that has yet to be surpassed.
