1996 SVT COBRA “MYSTIC” MUSTANG

The major change for the 1996 SVT Mustang Cobra was the move to a brand-new, unique powertrain, a hand-assembled, all-aluminum dual overhead cam (DOHC) 4.6-liter V-8 rated at 305 horsepower. With its high-revving characteristics, the Modular engine was worlds apart from the venerable 5.0 small-block and ushered the SVT Cobra into a new era of modern performance.

The engine change brought about a 65-hp increase over the previous year, good for a 0-60 mph time of 5.9 seconds, the quarter mile in 13.9 and a top speed of 152 mph. To enhance the exclusivity of the Cobra Coupe, a unique high-tech, color-shifting paint dubbed “Mystic” was offered, with a ONE-TIME RUN of just 1,999 “Mystic” Coupes produced only 1990 were produced with black leather. It is believed that fewer than half of all 1996 Mystic Cobras are on the road today. Have you seen one lately?
