Also included with the SVT Contour was new bodywork, seats and trim, white-faced gauges, larger wheels with ultra high performance tires, upgraded brakes and a retuned suspension. The restyle was based on the facelifted Mondeo which had been launched in Europe two years earlier.įord has also added a SVT version for the Contour, which utilized a specially tuned and modified version of the 2.5 L V6 that produced 195 hp (145 kW)(1998 MY) / 200 hp (149 kW) (1999/2000 MY) and was only available with a 5-speed manual transmission. In 1998, Ford restyled the Contour and Mystique. The Contour and Mystique debuted in late 1994 as 1995 models, and continued until 2000, when they went out of production without a direct replacement in Ford's lineup in USA and Canada, while in Mexico Ford replaced the Contour with a locally manufactured variant of the European Ford Mondeo. The Contour and Mystique replaced previous Ford's North American mid-range models, the Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz, and were classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as compact cars. Both were available in 4-door sedan body style only. The Contour also had a Mercury version called Mercury Mystique. It was the American rendition of Ford's CDW27 world car program that resulted also in Contour's twin, the first-generation Ford Mondeo made and sold elsewhere around the globe. The Ford Contour is a passenger car manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor Company in North America.
