Speaking of post-OPEC levels of fuel penny-pinching, here comes the SVO, a four-cylinder turbocharged Fox Body Mustang that featured a powertrain that wouldn’t be seen again until 2015. The 175-205 hp it made wasn’t huge by modern standards, but it only made about 75 hp less than the V8-powered GT of the era. An interesting idea, if not one that was all that fast.
