Hi all,

I spent a lot of money on a roadtrip across the US this Summer and totally fell in love with my rental 3.7L V6 Mustang. I'm now looking to have one imported to Norway since Ford here won't sell me one.

To do so I need some information I can't seem to find... mainly CO2 emissions (in g/km preferably) and NOX emissions (preferably in mg/km). (This is all related to ridiculous taxes over here that need to be in order before I can finance this)

I would also love if anyone knew the engine power of this car (3.7L V6) in kW as opposed to horse power?

Ooh, a last thing... I was so busy driving it that I totally forgot to check out the rear turn signal lights. By law they need to blink YELLOW over here, but I believe you all just have blinking red lights? I tried to check this on a Mustang commercial but couldn't quite figure out if it there were any yellow lights mixed in I'm pretty sure a Mustang owner can answer this at least quickly

The turn signals are red here.

Can't help you with your other questions though.

Emissions:
The EPA rating for the 3.7L Mustang is 404 grams per mile, which works out to 251 grams per kilometer (source: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find....id=32245&#tab2). However, the way the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calculates CO2 output is to convert NOX and methane emissions into a CO2 equivalent and add it to the CO2 emissions, so their number contains all three. Some states do measure CO2 and NOX separately depending on their emissions testing standards. My 2013 wasn't tested for emissions so I can't help you there. A 2011-2012 V-6 owner might be able to share their emissions inspection results and give you a better idea.

Power output and torque:
hp = kW
1.0 = 0.735

nm = lb-ft
1.0 = 0.738

305 hp @ 6500 rpm = 224.3kW
280 lb-ft @ 4250 rpm = 379.6nm torque

The ratings are at the crankshaft.


Taillights:
There's no yellow at all in the 2013 US taillights. Here's a .gif of them in action. The center bar glows white when reversing:



The 2011-2012 Mustangs were sold in Japan and they have amber in the taillights to comply with Japanese regulations. I have no idea if the 2013s are sold there yet, or if they have amber taillights. I don't know how to get a hold of the amber tails from a JDM* 2011-2012 Mustang either, but if you can locate them you could potentially import a slightly used 2011-2012 model from the US and install the JDM taillights.

*Japanese Domestic Market. I can't believe I'm using that term to refer to a Mustang and not a Japanese-made car...

Wow never thought JDM and Mustang would be in the same sentence. Can't seem to find any amber tail lights for this car. I really had no idea that countries had strict traffic laws like that.

armyjared

hold on in the GIF above the lights almost look amber....could be poor resolution though not exactly sure

JimC

It's the camera resolution, the turn signal is red.

Hey all, thanks for the replies !

seems I need to get the emissions tested specifically... I'll have a check with some other sites around here first though - I found a company in sweden that specializes in "us car conversions" and they seem to have made "yellow lights" for the turn signals on the Mustang... maybe the know the emission values aswell
