2012 Ford 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 305-hp 3.7-liter V6 or a 412-hp 5.0-liter V8 engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard; a six-speed automatic is optional. A 302 Boss or Laguna Seca coupe with a 444-hp 5.0-liter V8 with six-speed manual is also available. 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.

The big news for 2012 is the addition of the Boss 302 and Laguna Seca - both with a revised version of the five-liter that revs higher and has more horsepower than the GT.
