Only 5100 Cobras were offered in 1993. Although Cobra options where available previous years (76-78 Mustang II, Cobra II, and the 1978 King Cobra), this was the first year for the SVT specially designed model for the Mustang.
 
The Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was created in late 1991 to increase the Mustang's performance by introducing a limited number of factory built supercars. The Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) group was formed to design and create the car, while the SVT group did the marketing. This was the car they developed and introduced in record time for 1993.
Special factory installed disc breaks were required with the higher engine power and handling. The front 10.84 inch rotors and rear 10.07 inch rotors were vented with single-piston calipers. Goodyear 245/45ZR-17 Eagle uni-directional tires where mounted on specially designed Cobra 17 inch seven-black alloy rims.
The of the 1993 Cobra had a specially designed bumber with dual stainless steel 2.25 inch exhaust pipes. The specially design cobra rear spoiler was achored in four places to the rear hatch.
