2010 Ford Mustang Facts

The 2010 U.S. Mustang program introduced the major S197 styling and interior update while retaining the 4.0-liter V6 and 4.6-liter GT powertrains; available unknown-market secondary totals disagree and the surviving body table is incomplete.

Overview

Production Breakout

Model / Body Style Units Type
GT hardtop 20,851 Body / trim
Shelby GT500 hardtop 3,545 Body / trim
Shelby GT500 convertible 913 Body / trim
Shelby GT500 Reported: 4,458 Special edition

The 81,024 dealer-lot report leads the page's display because its publisher explains the collection context and limitation and provides the accompanying partial body table, not because MustangAttitude's matching number is treated as independent confirmation. It remains a reported, unknown-market value rather than verified production. The three published body rows total 25,309 and are not a complete breakdown. V6 hardtop, V6 convertible, and GT convertible values are missing and must not be derived by subtraction because the candidate totals have incompatible or unknown scopes. GT500 detail overlaps the two named Shelby rows and is not added again.

Why published totals differ

Reported: 81,024 MustangSpecs 2010 Production Numbers narrative 2010 Mustang cars described by MustangSpecs as leaving dealership lots; geographic market and date basis are not stated. Dealer-lot language suggests sales, not completed model-year production, but the exact count definition is unresolved.
Disputed: 81,024 MustangAttitude production explorer 2010 Mustang production total displayed by MustangAttitude; geographic and inclusion scope are not stated. The same number is described as dealer-lot volume by MustangSpecs, so the production meaning is disputed.
Disputed: 81,058 Muscle Car Club 2010 Mustang production total reported by Muscle Car Club; market, date basis, and inclusion rules are unstated. This differs by 34 from the 81,024 reports and no underlying ledger is exposed.
Disputed: 81,455 MustangCarFacts July 2026 committed automated output Transparent arithmetic from the legacy automated 2010 Mustang coupe and convertible rows, which recorded no external source. 57,100 coupes plus 24,355 convertibles equals 81,455. The same committed object retained a separate 81,024 total, so 81,455 is preserved as disputed arithmetic rather than silently promoted.

99N 4.0L SOHC V6 Naturally aspirated electronic fuel injection 210 240 MustangSpecs reports 210 hp at 5,300 rpm and 240 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm; Ford's inspected order guide establishes code 99N but leaves its final rating cells blank. U.S. V6 and V6 Premium coupe and convertible rapid-spec arrays.
