The Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R was displayed for the first time at the 2000 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) convention. The track-tuned SVT Mustang Cobra R was powered by a 5.4L 32-valve V8 engine which developed 385 horsepower @ 6250 rpm, and 385 lb-ft of torque at 4250 rpm. To help keep the Mustang Cobra R stable at high speed, the car features aerodynamic improvements including a front splitter and higher rear spoiler.

Other visual modifications to the Mustang Cobra R included the "power dome" hood, which was necessary in order to fit over the Cobra R's unique intake manifold. To improve handling, the Mustang Cobra R was equipped with lowered and stiffened suspension and 18-inch wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force KD tires.

2000 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R's interior enhancements included the addition of Recaro sport seats, and the removal of the radio, air-conditioner and back seat to save weight. A number of well-respected performance parts suppliers worked alongside Ford's SVT department in the development of the Cobra R, including Brembo for the front brake rotors and calipers, Tremec for the 6-speed transmission, Eibach and Bilstein for suspension, and Borla for the exhaust.

Only 300 Mustang Cobra R's were produced.
