The car will keep in running even with a nearly dead 12V (<6V?). As voltage drops, idle will slow, and once it's too low, different systems like the ABS will start to throw warning lights as they stop functioning. I'm not sure how low it'll go, but I've gotten to the point where my car was idling at ~300-400rpm and had a christmas tree of warning lights.
