The SVO Turbo Mustang started the 1985 model year with the previous year’s air-to-air intercooled, turbocharged, 175hp, 2.3 liter, electronic fuel injected, inline 4-cylinder. Mid year this changed to a 205hp version by incorporating some of the GT improvements as well as reworked turbo elements. The 1985 SVO continued to have the charcoal front and rear bumper moldings, double split rear spoiler, single hole grille, and single offset integrated hood scoop. The SVO also got flush single-unit halogen headlights during the mid-year update.
