Ford Mustang Engine Options

A 4.0L V6 engine at 210 hp was standard on all V6 trims from 2005 through 2010; beginning in 2011, a 3.7L V6 engine at 305 hp become the standalone engine option for V6 trims. 

GT engines have changed over the years, too. From 2005-2010, GT trims received a 4.6L V8 engine at 300-315 hp (exact output varies by model year). For 2011, however, a 5.0L V8 at 412 hp became standard on every GT trim. This same engine is equipped on the Boss 302 trim, although quad exhaust tips result in a higher output of 444 hp. The 5.0L V8 engine also comes only in a manual transmission for the Boss 302 trim, whereas every other trim can be had with a manual or automatic transmission.

On the 2012 coupe, you'll find a 12.3-cubic-foot trunk, along with split-folding rear seats for added storage. Meanwhile, trunk space on the 2012 Mustang convertible maxes out at 9.7 cubic feet.
