Some of this information was predicted by those of us excited and/or interested in the new 2012 (and beyond) Mustang Boss 302. Some of this information was up in the air. While none of this has been confirmed by a Ford person as of me writing this, the source of this information has been accurate on many things in the past and I feel comfortable repeating it.
A member of the forums on TheMustangSource.com known as Topnotch has posted some production information regarding the new Boss models. Here’s what is being reported:
- 2012 Boss 302 Produciton: 4,000 total units; 3,500 regular Bosses + 500 Laguna Seca models
- 2012 Boss 302 to have 1969 Boss 302-style, which is already obvious
- 2013 Boss 302 Production: 4,000 total units; 3,500 regular Bosses + 500 “R” model Bosses
- 2013 Boss to have a 1970 Boss 302-style, likely similar to the 302R
Regarding the possible “R” model for 2013, this could either be a car similar to the Laguna Seca version, perhaps with the name of a different race track as the package name, or it could possibly be an even more race-oriented version of the Boss. Something along the lines of taking the Laguna Seca a step further and removing even more content such as a radio, air conditioning and more. A Boss done in this way would be essentially the same idea as the Cobra R’s of 1993, 1995 and 2000.
Again, none of this has been confirmed by Ford yet, as far as I can find so it may all just be speculation. Also, there is still no word on pricing. If I had to guess, I would prepare for high $30′s to low $40′s for the regular Boss 302′s and maybe mid-$40′s for the Laguna Seca edition.
Be sure to keep checking back for more information as it becomes available.
Are those Red Wheels in the photo coming from the factory?
staying tuned . . .
Can’t wait to meet “the new Boss”!
