"If you wanted to purchase a 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R in the mid-90s, Ford required you to show a valid competition license beforehand; a small but telling comment on the raw power of this special example of American automotive muscle. Long sought after by Forza’s rabid Mustang community, the Cobra R is big and beefy—with an SVT-modified 5.8 liter Windsor V8 that pumps out an impressive 300 hp and 365 foot-pounds of torque. This is no grocery getter or everyday commuter—in order to save weight, SVT said bye-bye to luxuries like radio, power windows, air condition, and even a back seat. Instead, the car’s thicker stabilizer bars and heavy duty springs were designed to make the Cobra R a beast on the track. Little wonder, then, that the Cobra R has achieved such legendary status among lovers of the blue oval brand: just 250 of the model were made, so saddling up in Forza 4 might be your only chance of ever driving one of these American beauties."—Official description[1]
