2013 Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca: Ford Mustang Boss 302 is
back for more in 2013 with a new reflective hockey stick graphics package,
which is the first modern application on a production vehicle. Boss Laguna Seca
has new Sterling Gray accents and will be available in vintage School Bus
Yellow and black paint offerings, complemented by hockey stick stripes and gray
interior rear cross-brace. Gray also sets off the front grille, mirror caps and
rear pedestal spoiler, while Laguna Seca rear badging and unique two-tone gray
and silver wheels round out the exterior accents. Unlike the previous model,
the roof will not feature colored accents.
Similar to the redesigned base Mustang lineup, the front end
offers a more powerful design with a more prominent grille. A more powerful
splitter and functional hood extractors add to that look. Boss Mustang has new
signature lighting, with standard HID headlamps and LED-surround taillamps.
The powerful Boss engine yields 444 horsepower and 380
lb.-ft. of torque, while still offering a smooth idle and low-end torque for
comfortable around-town driving. A race-inspired clutch with upgraded friction
materials transmits power, while a short-throw, close-ratio six-speed manual
handles gear change duties.
Power is delivered to a 3.73-ratio rear axle using carbon
fiber plates in the limited-slip differential to improve handling and
longevity. For those who want even more precise control over power delivery, a
torque-sensing (Torsen) limited-slip differential is available, coupled with
Recaro® front seats.
In keeping with the Boss mandate to provide the
best-handling Mustang ever, the already strong Mustang GT suspension system has
been further refined. Higher-rate coil springs on all four corners, stiffer
suspension bushings and a larger-diameter rear stabilizer bar all contribute to
the road racing mission, and Boss models are lowered by 11 millimeters in front
and 1 millimeter at the rear versus Mustang GT. But the real key to handling is
in the adjustable shocks and struts, standard on all Boss Mustangs.
Working in concert with the suspension upgrades, Boss 302
receives unique, lightweight 19-inch black alloy racing wheels in staggered widths:
9 inches in front, 9.5 inches in the rear. The Pirelli PZero summer tires are
sized specifically for each end of the car, with the front wheels receiving
255/40ZR-19 tires while the rear stays planted thanks to 285/35ZR-19 rubber.
Some features of SYNC include:
- Hands-free, voice-activated calling via a Bluetooth®-connected mobile phone and control of a USB-connected digital music player
- 911 Assist™, the automated emergency calling service that is free for the life of the vehicle
- Vehicle Health Report, the on-demand diagnostic and maintenance information service
