2012 Mustang

The Mustang remains one of the most widely recognized, respected, and desired nameplates in the automobile business. It may be retro inspired, but the Mustang is a thoroughly modern car. Today's Mustang still delivers the bold styling, rear-drive performance and affordability that have been Mustang hallmarks for decades.

The Mustang is available either as a coupe or convertible. Each is available with a V6 or a V8 engine. New for 2012, a 305-hp 3.7-liter V6 and 412-hp 5.0-liter V8 replace the previous aging powerplants. A six-speed manual transmission is standard; a six-speed automatic is optional. Standard safety features include electronic stability control, traction control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, side-impact airbags and LED sequential tail lamps. The Mustang can be equipped with alloy wheels, automatic headlights, heated power leather seats, satellite radio, navigation system and more.

Employing twin independent variable camshaft timing (TiVCT) and cold air induction, the new 2012 Mustang engines deliver more power, greater off-the-line low-end torque – and increased fuel efficiency.* The V6, featuring a die-cast aluminum engine block, boasts 305 horsepower and 31 MPG on the highway, while the 5.0L V8, featuring an aluminum block, pumps out a smoking 412 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. And all engines are mated to six-speed transmissions. There’s no such thing as compromise for these ponies.

*EPA-estimated V6 19 city/31 hwy/23 combined mpg, available automatic transmission. EPA-estimated 17 city/26 hwy mpg, manual transmission. EPA-estimated 18 city/25 hwy mpg, automatic transmission.
