Ford Mustang Boss 302 2012 Special Car
In 1968, 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 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, and it remains one of the world’s most sought-after examples of American performance. Forty-two years later, Ford teams of engineers, designers and stylists – all Mustang enthusiasts to the core – that created the groundbreaking Mustang GT 2011 has distilled a new model to its purest form, strengthening, lightening and refining each system to create a race car with a license plate. Its name: the Ford Mustang Boss 302 2012.
To celebrate the racing heritage of the new Ford 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.
