The Ford Mustang is instantly recognizable as an American icon. When introduced in 2005, the latest iteration intended to evoke the classic styling of the Mustangs from the late 1960's; however, a significant update in 2010 resulted in a sleeker, more modern design. Base Mustangs now equip a new 3.7l V6 with more power than many of Mustang's historic V8 models. The performance oriented GT model now equips an updated version of the legendary 5.0l V8 rated at 412-bhp. Both engines are mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. With sleek styling and powerful, yet fuel-efficient engines, the Mustang is far from being a throwback pony car.

What Changed:

The Boss 302 model returns to the Mustang lineup for 2012. The Boss 302 equips the 5.0l V8 engine with a unique intake system and exhaust system raising the power output to 444-bhp. The Boss 302 also has a unique suspension calibration. The Boss wears unique styling cues on the outside and inside. Many of the items like the suspension and exhaust sound are easily configurable for owners.
