The 2003 Mustang introduced several new option packages and special models. Ford celebrated its centennial with a 100th Anniversary option for coupes and convertibles in black, featuring black premium painted wheels, chrome rims, and a two-tone parchment interior. The Mach 1 returned in 2003 as a coupe with special wheels, stripes, a double overhead cam 4.6L V8 engine, and a hood scoop. The SVT Cobra also celebrated an anniversary, its 10th, by adding a supercharger; it also had a new front fascia, hood, flared rocker panels, rear fascia, and interior.
