2011 Ford Mustang BOSS 302R

HI-RES GALLERY: 2011 Ford Mustang BOSS 302R

Forty years after its namesake became a road racing legend, the BOSS name will return to race tracks all around the country strapped to a new 5.0-liter V-8 engine.

In honor of the 40th anniversary of Parnelli Jones’ 1970 Trans-Am championship in a Mustang BOSS 302 prepared by Bud Moore Engineering, Ford Racing is introducing the new 2011 Ford Mustang BOSS 302R, a factory-built race car ready for track days and road racing in a number of Grand-Am, SCCA and NASA classes.

The Mustang BOSS 302R is for use exclusively on the race track and will be priced from $79,000.

For this money, buyers will get a 5.0-liter four-valve V-8 powerplant and a 6-speed manual transmission with a roll cage, race seats, safety harness, data acquisition and race dampers and springs, plus a Brembo brake and tire package.

Available through Ford dealers, a total of 50 BOSS 302R Mustangs will be built, with first deliveries expected to start in the third quarter of 2010.

    You mean the same BOSS Engine that has already been on sale in the FPT version of the Falcon for near on 4 months?? or the variant of it that has been available for near on 16 months?
    Ford USA are just downright stupid in their philosophies. Why dont they take the Falcon, which is a very good large family car and flip the steering wheel and sell it in the states. you will all then finally have that large car that you are all dreaming of with high output engines at a relatively low cost.
    the same goes for GM and their continued reluctance to keep the Commodore in their line up instead calling it a Pontiac.

    I've thought the same thing, but with all the different price points the Mustang sells at. Would anyone really pay say GT500 price for the smaller motor, less iconic looks, some chrome, and a gussied up interior? I don't think so. Unless it was stretched a bit I do not see the point of doing one, and even at that I could not see the sales being there.

    I'd buy a FPV Falcon over a Taurus SHO any day. I think the problem is the majority of people in the U.S. want a car that is luxurious and have good gas mileage. The age of large, powerful V8, RWD sedans is coming to an end, as much as enthusiasts like us hate to even conceive of such a thought.
    But yes, I'd still rather have a Falcon, and I'd be elated if NASCAR was eschewed in favor of something along the lines of Aussie V8 Supercars!

    Hi Guy's,
