Ford calls it's 2012 Mustang Boss 302 "quickest, best-handling" Mustang ever .
Based on the 2011 Ford Mustang GT, the new model 2012 Mustang Boss 302 is inspired by the classic 1969 Mustang Boss.
Ford engineers, stylists and designers have strengthened, lightened and refined the Mustang GT to create "a race car with a licence plate". The team used the BMW M3 as a performance benchmark for the Mustang Boss 302 and claim the car can match Munich's performance saloon for lap time at Laguna Seca.
A new air intake and modified camshafts boost power from 406bhp to 434bhp in the 5.0-litre V8 engine taken from the standard Mustang GT, while 380lb ft of torque is produced. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed close-ratio manual gearbox.
