2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Model Debuts

Ford says that in 1968, their management approved a special Mustang, a car that sacrificed nothing in its quest to be the best all-around road-going performance machine ever created by Ford Motor Company. That car became the sought-after 1969 Mustang Boss 302. Forty-two years later, the badge has been resurrected. With the millions of “special edition” Mustangs floating around, it is amazing that this badge didn’t pop up sooner.

Based on the updated 2011 Mustang GT, the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 will bridge the gap between the GT and the GT500. The 2011 GT isn’t even out properly yet, and the Boss is already badged as a 2012.

To set Boss apart, each car will have either a black or white roof panel, coordinated to the colour of the side C-stripe. Available exterior colours are orange, white, blue, yellow and red.

Up front, a unique fascia and grille has blocked-off fog-lamp openings and a lower splitter. It helps to reduce underbody drag and front end lift while more effectively forcing air through the Boss-specific cooling system. At the rear is a simple spoiler.

The GT’s 412 hp 5.0-litre V8 has been modified to produce 440 hp and 515 Nm of torque. A race-inspired clutch, a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission, a 3.73 ratio rear axle, a new air intake and carbon-fibre plates in the limited-slip differential complete the package. A torque-sensing (Torsen) limited-slip differential is an available option coupled with Recaro front seats.

A retuned induction sound tube channels noise from under the bonnet, while the Boss quad exhaust system has been tuned to a unique sound. Five kilos of sound-deadening materials have been removed on purpose.This will be one noisy car.

The Boss “mandate” is apparently to be the best-handling Mustang ever, so higher-rate coil springs, stiffer suspension bushings and a larger-diameter rear stabiliser bar we added. Boss models are lowered by 11 mm at the front and 1 mm at the rear compared to the Mustang GT. Interestingly, manually-adjustable shocks and struts are standard on all Boss Mustang models. Five settings are available via old-style hands-on adjustability, similar to the shocks available on the original Boss 302, with a screwdriver.

In contrast to the suspension, there is a speed-sensitive electronic steering system with three settings for comfort, normal and sport modes.

The stability and traction control systems can be fully turned off, or left in an intermediate sport mode that allows drivers to push their cars without completely disabling the safety systems, permitting more aggressive driving before the systems intervene.

The Boss 302 receives staggered lightweight 19-inch black alloy wheels, 9 inches wide in front and 9.5 inches in the rear. The Pirelli PZero tyres are 255/40ZR front and 285/35ZR rear. It also uses Brembo four-piston front calipers acting on 14-inch vented rotors up front, with standard Mustang GT brakes in the back, with a Boss-specific high-performance pad compound, low-compressibility brake lines and retuned ABS.

The Boss has a top speed of 248 kph and is the “first non-SVT Mustang” to achieve more than 1.0G of lateral acceleration.

Inside, a unique Boss steering wheel covered completely in Alcantara suede complements the standard seats, which are trimmed in cloth with a suede-like insert. Recaro buckets are optional. A dark metallic instrument panel finish, gauge cluster and door panel trim also differentiate Boss from the standard Mustang, while a black pool-cue shifter ball and “Powered by Ford” door sill plates are also fitted.

To celebrate the racing heritage of the new Mustang Boss 302, Ford will also offer a limited number of Boss 302 Laguna Seca models, named for the track where Parnelli Jones won the 1970 Trans-Am season opener in a Boss 302. Aimed at racers more interested in on-track performance than creature comforts, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca has increased body stiffness, a firmer chassis set-up and an aerodynamics package carried over almost in its entirety from the Ford Racing Boss 302R.

Ford says that the team who developed it was not “going to let Boss become a sticker and wheel package”, although that is what every other ‘special edition’ Mustang is. This really looks be a great factory-tuned car.

Whether the Boss — the name is starting to sound funny now — is going to be available in countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE remains to be seen. So far, only the 2011 Mustang V6 and GT models have been confirmed, and they aren’t even out yet.

•  Ford Mustang GT, 2013

The Ford Mustang - the icon of American performance and style - gets even more street swagger with a new design and a list of smart features that signal even more technology in the popular pony car.

More aggressive design
The new model Mustang, which goes on sale in spring 2012, offers a more aggressive design with a significantly more prominent grille. A more powerful splitter adds to that appearance. Functional heat extractors on the hood of the GT were specifically placed and designed to help move hot air out of the engine compartment and cool the engine.

Rocker panels running along the car are now body-color, making for a more premium appearance. The rear has been updated with a high-gloss black panel that connects the tail lamps. Keeping the sequential turn signal Ford Mustang is known for, the tail lamps also deliver a smoked appearance that matches the more purposeful look up front.

Also new for Ford Mustang design are standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps on both V6 and GT cars. Signature lighting plays into the technology upgrades for 2013 as well, with two individual light-emitting diode (LED) bars accentuating the front headlamps and three LED ropes forming the iconic three-bar rear lights.

The new Ford Mustang offers a revamped wheel lineup, ranging from the standard 17-inch wheels for V6 all the way up to 19-inch optional wheels on the GT and V6 Performance Package. With updated designs, the wheels also offer new finishes and touches for a more powerful appearance.

There are two different finishes on the 17-inch wheel - machined-aluminum and painted. Three optional V6 wheels include an 18-inch polished aluminum set, an updated 18-inch painted aluminum and a 19-inch painted wheel design, with a new theme for the V6 Performance Package.

The standard 18-inch painted aluminum wheel on both GT and premium GT is an evolution of the five-spoke design. The 19-inch optional GT wheel comes with a gloss-black finish with machined face for a more sinister look.

The new car also offers mirrors with pony projection light, which casts the image of Ford Mustangs famous pony emblem on the ground when the unlock button is activated. New colors - Deep Impact Blue and Gotta Have It Green - join the existing sporty colors for 2013.

Also new on V6 and GT are optional leather-trimmed or cloth Recaro® seats that are currently available on the Shelby GT500 and Boss 302. Designed to enhance the high-performance driving experience, lateral bolsters in the cushion and seatback are used to ensure drivers have the support needed on the track during hard cornering and to deliver a comfortable ride.

The seats also come complete with integrated head restraints with ample room for drivers and passengers wearing helmets when at the track. Openings on the seatback are included for customers looking to create performance setups for their car on track days. The Recaro seats are the result of a global team effort led by SVT along with the Ford Mustang engineering group in North America, Team RS in Europe and Recaro.

New driving technologies
The 2013 Mustang with 5.0-liter engine now deliver 420 horsepower. Based on learnings from developing the high-output 444-horsepower Ford Mustang Boss 302, the team was able to adapt several of the designs to the 5.0-liter.

The new Ford Mustang can be specified with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission. This advanced control strategy offers the driver a choice between fully automatic operation and manual control. The system is controlled with a selector button on the side of the shifter. The shifter has been upgraded for 2013 with more modern style and improved accessibility.

This capability makes the Mustang experience sporty yet smooth. Unlike some competitors transmissions, SelectShift wont second-guess the driver with an override shift. With SelectShift, manual control is truly manually controlled.

A new option, the GT Track Package, debuts for 2013 for customers who want to push their Ford Mustang even further at the track. Available only on manual GT Mustangs with a 3.73 axle, the package gives track enthusiasts an engine cooler, upgraded radiator, performance friction brake pads and the same Torsen differential thats on Mustang Boss 302. The package includes everything in the current Brembo Brake Package, with 14-inch vented front discs, unique 19-inch alloy wheels and summer performance tires.

Other optional package updates for 2013 include offering the Brembo Brake Package on both manual and automatic transmissions on Ford Mustang GT. The V6 Performance Package is now available on automatic Mustangs for the first time.

Hill start assist makes its debut on manually equipped Mustangs. The feature helps keep the car from rolling backward, making it easier to pull away when on a slope or hill. With the brake pedal pressed, if sensors detect the car is on a slope, the system is automatically activated. Brake pressure is held in the braking system and the car remains stationary on the slope for up to two seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal.

A new 4.2-inch LCD productivity screen that lets customers access information related to fuel economy and vehicle performance also makes its debut on Mustang. The screen is navigated through a five-way control button located on the steering wheel and offers Track Apps, which delivers performance metrics for drivers right from the factory. The app measures g forces, shows acceleration times in quarter-mile and 0-60 increments, and displays braking times, complete with automatic and countdown starts.

The 2013 Ford Mustang also offers customers two new audio systems for even better sound quality for incredible clarity and crispness. The optional Shaker system comes with eight speakers and pumps out 370 watts of power. The upgraded Shaker Pro offers nine speakers and delivers 550 watts of power.
