{{See also|Ford Mustang SVO}}

The group's sole production car, the [[Ford Mustang SVO]], was designed to compete directly with European sports sedans like [[BMW]]'s [[BMW 3 Series|3 Series]]. To reduce costs, they used the existing 2.3&nbsp;L [[turbocharged]] four-cylinder engine and [[Borg-Warner]] [[Borg-Warner T-5 transmission|T-5]] five-speed [[manual transmission]] from the [[Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe]]. The car had a different [[Engine Control Unit|computer]] and [[Mass air meter|air meter]] and added an [[intercooler]], a [[Hurst Performance|Hurst]] shifter, [[KONI Group]] shock absorbers, and 16&nbsp;inch wheels, a novelty at the time. The car produced 175&nbsp;hp (130&nbsp;kW) for the 1984 [[model year]] (MY) and the first part of the 1985 MY, 205&nbsp;hp (152&nbsp;kW) after mid-1985 MY, and 200&nbsp;hp (149&nbsp;kW) for the 1986 model year. In total, 9,844 were built.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}
