The Boss

Details and Pics Revealed For Ford "Boss" Mustang

Even if you arent a car person, how can you not love The Boss?  Just take a look at this video and see what's got the car world buzzing:

"You're dealing with history here.  The original version of this car is an icon," said Mark Fields, VP of Ford.

 Ford recently revealed details and rolled out a production version of the 2012 Boss Mustang at Pebble Beach Week in Monterey, California.  So far auto bloggers and writers are loving it.  An Autoblog headling simply read "Ford releases additional photos of Mustang Boss 302, triggers additional drooling."

So what makes this production Boss so, well, boss? Under the hood is a dual overhead cam 5.0 liter V8, similar to the plant found in the Mustang GT. But this time it's packing 440-horsepower and 380 peak lb.-ft of torque.

Ford also pointed to multiple specific details that set The Boss apart from the already popular Mustang GT, including:

• Manually-adjustable shocks and struts
• Lighweight 19-inch black-alloy racing wheels
• Comfort/Normal/Sport power steering modes
• Short-throw, close-ratio, six-speed transmission

Thats just the beginning.  We could get into details, or you can just take a look at a photo gallery yourself here.

Robert Parker, a Ford spokesman, recently told the New York Times the 2012 Boss 302 will be available next spring.  Pricing details have yet to be announced. 

When the time comes, West Herr Ford will be all over The Boss.  Until then stop by our Hamburg or Orchard Park locations and take a look at any other car we have.  Or visit us online.
