Boss 302 Mustang to Debut Later This Week; Details Leaked
When the new 5.0L 2011 Mustang GT first debuted, Ford also revealed a Boss 302R track car. A street version of the Boss was presumed but Ford refused to confirm the rumors. Now it appears they don’t have to thanks to some loose-lipped announcers on SPEED TV who revealed that a Boss 302 would debut later this week at Laguna Seca as a part of the festivities surrounding the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
And it’s not just the time that was revealed with news also leaking about a low $30,000 price tag. As for the engine, the 5.0L V8 will remain, but with power upped to 430-hp – an 18-hp increase over the stock block.
We also expect some track-inspired goodies like light-weight wheels, upgraded brakes and some nice suspension components.
AutoGuide will be in Monterey later this week for Pebble Beach and will be sure to deliver live photos of the new Boss 302 if and when it debuts.
