Vehicle Make, Model, and Year:
This model accurately represents the 2000 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R, a high-performance limited-production version of the Mustang developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Only 300 units of the real car were produced, all in Performance Red with stripped-down interiors and aggressive racing modifications.

Exterior and Interior Details:
The model features a Performance Red exterior with a factory-accurate rear wing, Cobra badging, and five-spoke silver alloy wheels with realistic brake detailing. Through the clear window packaging, the sparse black race-themed interior is visible, showcasing bucket seats, a stripped rear seat area, and a roll cage representation – just like the real track-focused SVT Cobra R.

Historical Information and Year of Release:
The 2000 Cobra R marked the pinnacle of Ford’s SVT Mustang engineering for that era, built without creature comforts in favor of racing readiness. Maisto released this diecast version circa 2001–2002, making it a long-retired piece with appeal for fans of modern muscle and Ford performance history.

Condition:
The model appears factory mint inside sealed packaging, with no visible damage or wear. The packaging remains intact and Minor wear is visible at corners and edges.
