When The Mustang Ditched Its V8 For A Turbo 4

In this Rare Cars documentary, we are going over the story of the fabled 4-cylinder turbocharged SVO Foxbody Mustang.

This 2.3L DOHC V10 was built by the Ford SVO team as the next generation of high-performance Ford engines in an era that was defined by emissions regulations, and it had all the potential to dethrone the V8 at the time.

But as we know today, the SVO Mustang didn't dethrone the V8, in fact in lots of ways it was one of the reasons that the V8 itself stayed in the Mustang until this very day. This is the story of the iconic Mustang SVO.
