The fourth generation Mustang based on the SN95 platform is described on this page. The text reads, Launched in Mustang's 30th anniversary year, the fourth-generation Mustang got it right, and gave Mustang a new lease on life. The design successfully gave Mustang a stylish, contemporary look and also evoked earlier generations of Mustangs. There was a 2-door fastback coupe and a convertible, each one powered either by a base 3.8-liter V6 (145 hp), or a 5.0-liter V8 (215 hp) in GT trim. Also that year, SVT wasted no time launching their high-performance version, the 1994 SVT Mustang Cobra whose 5.0 V8 produced 240 hp. The single-overhead-cam, 4.6-liter "Modular" V8 became the GT's powerplant in 1996, with the same 215 hp as the pushrod 5.0. SVT produced a new Mustang Cobra, also with the 4.6-liter V8, but sporting all-aluminum construction and dual overhead cams. This version produced 305 hp. Mustang received refreshed, more aggressive styling in 1999, and also more power - 195 hp for the V6 and 260 for the GT's SOHC V8. The new '99 SVT Cobra boasted 320 hp, but its most notable claim to fame was its independent rear suspension system - the first ever on a Mustang. The new millennium brought SVT's third (and last) racing version of the Cobra, the 2000 Cobra R. This one used a 5.4-liter DOHC V8 to produce 385 hp, and was the first Mustang with a 6-speed transmission. It was the fastest Mustang ever (so far) and also the most expensive (msrp $55,845). In 2003, Ford paid tribute to a famous Mustang of the past - the Mach 1 with the 1996 Cobra's 305 hp DOHC V8. With a 50th-generation coming, SVT decided to send the current Mustang out with a bang, it was code named "Terminator," and became the 2003 SVT Cobra. Power - all 390 hp and 390 lb.-ft. - came from a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 and made the '03 Cobra the most powerful production Mustang ever.
