Sooo What does SN 95 really stand for ?

Ford now internally coded the new 4th Generation chassis platform SN-95/Fox-4. SN-95 stands for" Specialty Vehicle North American" Automotive Operations, which was responsible for the primary design of the new Mustang.


The chassis was built upon the 3rd Generation Fox Body, but the SN-95 chassis would be a heavily modified Fox monocoque unibody, different enough to be named Fox-4. They lengthened the wheelbase to 101.3", increased the front & rear track 1.9", added 4 wheel disc brakes, 10.8" front rotors & 10.5" rear rotors with Bosch's ABS2U anti-lock braking system, and starting in 1996 began utilizing the Lincoln's 4R70W (AOD-EW) & Tremec T-45 Transmissions.

Well isn't that cool, thanks GL.

Funny, been hearing that term for years and figured out it had something to do with the platform , but never really knew what !

Amazing how similar they look but how different they feel n drive, especially how much tighter the SN95 chassis got.

wouldn't it be SVNA-95 then?

I kind of like the sound of Fox-4

Fox Force 5 would be a better name.

so why "95"? It started in 94, and this mentions a change for 96.


The names we hear are all names of the platform used in assembly. "Fox" got it's name when Iaccoca wanted a global platform like the one VW were using for their Fox. Fox, SN-95, S-197 etc are the code names given and used internally by Ford.
