The year was 1991 and Ford enthusiasts had something to roar about. Ford Motor Company announced the formation of its all-new Special Vehicle Engineering team, a European-based group, tasked with developing exciting street-legal vehicles for the Euro market.
What’s important to recognize, is that in the early ’90s it was not easy for a mainstream manufacturer to build high-performance vehicles. The economy had recently recovered from the gas crunch of the 1970s, and save for a few exotics, most cars were of the low-performance variety. At times, it requires going against the corporate grain, digging-in with hands-on cutting and shaping of metal, building engines during off hours, and innovating at every turn. And that’s what was taking place at SVE.
Then came January 1994 and O. John Coletti, a take-no-prisoners mechanical engineer at Ford who would steer SVE and later become known as the Godfather of SVT. Coletti, who grew up around the drag strips of Detroit in the late 1960s and early ’70s, understood what was needed to pull at the heart-strings of Ford enthusiasts. His team immediately went to work, creating, enhancing, and experimenting, all with the immediate goal of improving the Mustang’s performance and image.
One of the many SVE wonders developed by Coletti and his team is this multi-colored Mustang dubbed Super Stallion. Built in 1994, Super Stallion was no run-of-the mill test mule. It was assembled to research performance systems including supercharging, suspension, flexible fuel, ergonomics/seating, and to make an impact with show-quality paint techniques.
