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.

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 bumper with dual stainless steel 2.25 inch exhaust pipes. The specially design cobra rear spoiler was anchored in four places to the rear hatch.
