The 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R was a limited production, high performance variant of the 1987-1993 Third Generation Ford Mustang. The SVT Cobra R was created as a stripped-down, performance focused car, with the 'R' in the name standing for Race. Only available in Victory Red, and with a Opal Gray cloth interior, these cars benefitted from drastic weight saving measures as well as improvements to the chassis and brakes. Power for the Cobra R came from a 235hp 5.0L V8 engine that was paired to a 5 speed manual transmission sending drive to the rear wheels. Just a total of 107 examples of the 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R were built, although the Cobra R name would be revived for the 1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R, and the later 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R.
