You knew it had to happen.
First Ford rolled out the all new 5.0 Mustang and today the boys in blue announced the return of the Boss 302 Mustang for 2012.
“The decision to build a modern Boss was not entered into lightly,” said in a statement Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development.
“The entire team at Ford felt the time was right and with the right ingredients, the world-class 2011 Mustang could support a successful, race-bred, worthy successor to the original Boss 302. For us that meant a production Mustang that could top one of the world’s best – the 2010 BMW M3 – in lap times at Laguna Seca. We met our expectations.”

Ford will release a limited number of Limited-production track-oriented Boss 302 Laguna Seca model which will have no rear seat and race-ready suspension and aerodynamic treatments.
According to Ford the 2012 Boss 302 Mustang is upgraded in almost every way including:
"Limited production 2012 Mustang Boss 302 set to become the quickest, best-handling straight-production Mustang ever offered by Ford, based on the world-class foundation provided by the 2011 Mustang GT
– Boss upgraded in nearly every vehicle system; engine output, brakes, suspension, interior and exterior all examined to optimize weight, aerodynamics and track performance
– Full Mustang team effort results in a comprehensive re-engineering available only through the factory; new Boss is not a package that can be purchased out of a catalog or achieved through tuning or aftermarket parts
– Limited-production track-oriented Boss 302 Laguna Seca model expands on Boss racing aspirations, deleting rear seat and adding race-ready suspension and aerodynamic treatments"
