The Boss is Back - Ford Gives the Green Light for the Return of the Legendary Mustang Boss 302

Only once before, in 1968, did Ford management approve a special Mustang - a car that sacrificed nothing in its quest to be the best all-around road-going performance machine/beast created by the Ford Motor Company. That car became the 1969 Mustang Boss 302. It has since remained one of the world's most sought-after examples of American performance.

This is not a coincidence as this automobile is indeed a beast and a boss. It's a real beauty to those who enjoy American muscle cars.

Forty-two years later, in 2010, Ford has again given the green light. The team of Ford engineers, designers and stylists - all Mustang enthusiasts to the core - that created the 2011 Mustang GT have has distilled a new model. This model has been strengthened, lightened and refined to create a whole new horse: the 2012 Mustang Boss 302.

“The decision to build a modern Boss was not entered into lightly,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “The entire team at Ford felt the time was right and with the right ingredients, the world-class 2011 Mustang could support a successful, race-bred, worthy successor to the original Boss 302."

The 2012 Mustang Boss 302 has been built to top Ford standards. All the people working on it wanted it to be a worthy successor of the original Boss, so each and every part of this car was examined, tested and improved. The team would not stop working until it was perfect.

A whole new intake system was developed for this car to make it more competitive on the track. Tuning was taken into account as well. They developed a new exhaust system for the Boss as well. This new system is designed to make it easy to modify if the owner wishes to do that.

There were many new things added and all in all this car has been engineered into a champion.
