Originally known as Special Vehicle Operations, SVO developed the 1984–1986 2.3-liter turbo-charged 4-cylinder Mustang SVO, as well as marketed performance parts through dealer networks (now known as Ford Performance Parts, or FPP).įord SVT debuted the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor high-performance off-road truck. SVT was founded in 1983 by John Plant of Ford Marketing, Janine Bay of Ford Mustang Program Management, and Robert Burnham of Ford Truck Program Management. However, they do occasionally develop models independently of the rest of the company, namely the GT supercar (developed in conjunction with Saleen). The group mainly produces specially tuned versions of Ford production vehicles such as the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor which is based on the Ford F150. In 2015, Ford Racing, alongside Ford Team RS and Special Vehicle Team, merged into a global entity named Ford Performance. SVT was previously led by Hau Thai-Tang (2004–2007) and John Coletti (1993-2004). The last SVT Director was Hermann Salenbauch. Established in 1991, SVT was the successor to the SVO division.
