Auto Car | The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 For Wild Mustangs  |  The Ford Boss 302 a tribute to the performance car that first emerged in 1969.  2012 Mustang Boss 302 With Engine 302CI 440 hp was inspired by the 1969-70 Mustang Boss 302, a quasi racer that Ford built to unseat the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 in the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans Am series. The Boss uses the 5-liter engine from the GT, but the output jumps to 444 horsepower.
