2012 Mustang Specs

The new 2012 Mustang specs have been released even as the paint continues to dry on the 2011 Ford Mustang. There are some exciting changes and some minor, but important improvements.



As expected by many, the 2012 Ford Mustang is an evolutionary change, rather than a revolutionary one, in the case of the Mustang GT below.

And that's probably a really good thing, as Ford has demonstrated from the continual improvement of the new Mustang since it was introduced as a 2005 Model.

2012 boss 302 mustang













The bigger changes, are reserved for the Boss 302 and Boss Laguna Seca packages.

Exterior Changes

Changes in the exterior are minor, ( see the 2012 Mustang GT section) except for those that directly relate to the Boss 302 . Ford has deleted the Sterling Gray Metallic, which I think is too boring for a car like this.

They've also added a new Lava Red Metallic (UZ) and exclusively to the Boss, is a new Competition Orange (CY).

I recently had a chance to see the 2012 Boss 302 in Vancouver BC (where the 2010 Olympics were held) and I have to say, it looked even better up close. Check the link for full details and new pictures.

V6 Mustang Appearance Packages for 2012

Continued for the 2012 V6 Model, is the Mustang Club of America Special Edition, which includes unique striping and logo, rear decklid spoiler, painted dark stainless billet grille, front mounter lower front fascia (bumper) fog lights and Automatic headlamps.

The V6 pony package, comes with polished aluminum wheels, and a unique grille, fog lamps, Pony badging and unique tape stripe.

V8 Mustang GT 5.0 Appearance Packages

The 2012 California Special package will continue to be available, with a chrome billet grille and body colored surround, unique lower fascia with headlamps and a rear spoiler and fascia splitter.

You'll also find special 19" painted wheels, door panel "Carbon" inserts, along with leather seats also sporting a "carbon" insert treatment.

The Mustang will continue to be offered as both a coupe (fastback) and a convertible.

Interior Styling

Changes to the interior are relatively minor as well, save for the addition the new "Lava Red Interior" option, which includes lava red door inserts, and leather seat inserts.

There are also some minor changes to the door trim, headliner and A pillars, which will see a darker charcoal finish.

Also as part of the 2012 Mustang specs, is a Recaro sport seats, which adds cloth lined Recaro sport seats, along with a TORSEN helical differential, housing a 3.73:1 gear, the same as you'll find in the Boss 302 and Laguna Seca.

Fuel economy for the 2012 Mustang GT is rated at 18 mpg city/25mpg highway with the 6 speed automatic, or 17 mpg city and 26 mpg for the automatic six speed transmission. The new Boss 302 and Laguna Seca, is rated as 17 mpg city/26 mpg highway.

Full information, as well as pictures and specs are found for the 2012 Boss 302 and 2012 Boss Laguna Seca in their respective sections.

The V6 2012 Mustang specs continue to provide the power of the new in 2011 model 305 horsepower engine, along with its fabulous 19 mpg city/31 mpg highway fuel economy (mpg) for the six speed manual transmission cars.

The V6 Performance Package continues, and you could be the one to rename it for the 2012 Mustang.

Check out the Facebook Mustang V6 Performance Package Contest for more details.

New, this year, is a selectable effort power steering system (EPAS), with settings for normal, comfort and sport.

2012 Shelby Super Snake GT500

Like the 2011 incarnation, Shelby and Ford have teamed up to create another limited production GT500, with upgraded specs and features. Here's the full story and pictures on the new 2012 Shelby GT500.

2012 Blue Angels Mustang

2012 Mustang Blue Angels edition










If you've always dreamed of a one of a kind Ford Mustang, than there's nothing as rare as the 2012 Blue Angels Mustang, created in celebration of 100 years of Naval Aviation and of course, the Blue Angels squadron.

This rare bird was built specifically as a one-off car for auction, with the proceeds aimed directly at the EAA Young Eagles program.

2012 Mustang blue angels front splitter














The 2012 Mustang features some redesigned elements directly from the amazing 2012 Boss 302 and Shelby GT500, such as the specially fitted Recaro seats, emblazoned with the Blue Angels logo.
