The 2011 Mustang GT has a new engine and the same beast will also power the track only Mustang BOSS 302R which is dedicated to honor the 40th anniversary of Parnelli Jones 1970 Trans-Am championship. The title was conquered 40 years ago in a Mustang BOSS 302 and that victory has inspired Ford to reveal the 412hp, 390lb-ft V8 engine powered BOSS 302R. The engine will be mated to a six speed manual transmission but there is no point talking about the low mileage as this car will only feature at Grand-Am, SCCA and NASA events.
Talk about the track-only specific equipping, the BOSS 302R will come with a roll cage, race seats, safety harnesses, a data acquisition unit and the all important Brembo brakes. Besides the 302R, Ford will also manufacture five 302R1 race cars for the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series which will come with special adaptations.
