Ford Mustang Boss 2025: €90,000 Race Car Not Designed for the Street
Soon the new Ford Mustang Boss will be available in showrooms, and we all know that racing is the DNA of the Boss 302. The 6th generation version of the pony car doesn’t waste any special time on the track, according to Ford Racing. In the first quarter, a new road racing-prepared Mustang will be launched, which in the most likely scenarios will ultimately be the Ford Mustang Boss.

The vehicle does not come cheaply priced, however, but then again, racing has never been cheap. Moreover, for around €90,000 (Euros), the automotive giant will be willing to provide you with a factory-built, turnkey race car that is more than ready to take on numerous racing series such as NASA and SCCA including the PWC (Pirelli World Challenge). The vehicle will be built in Flat Rock, MI, on the exact assembly line as the production-ready Mustang; but different than last year’s Ford Mustang.
The Boss 302 is sold with only a serial number (not a VIN) and is not street legal. No details have been shared with the public about the 302S, but we shouldn’t expect too many changes to the car’s racing goodies. Below is what we should expect from the Ford Mustang Boss Racing Brute.
External changes and colors
Unlike the Boss 302R, which finished in the IMSA CTSCC (Continental SportsCar Challenge) with a mostly stock appearance, the Boss 302S is more of a classic look with numerous performance-enhancing features, including a unique fiberglass hood, adjustable front splitter, adjustable rear carbon fiber wing, and BBS racing wheels wrapped in Pirelli rubber.
We all remember that the previous Boss 302S was available in limited paint colors including Grabber Blue, Performance White and Satin Black. But the variants had a black painted roof. For now, it doesn’t matter what the automotive giant did with the design of this vehicle as it is obviously based on the Shelby GT350R. However, what you can take to the bank is that the Ford Mustang Boss 302 is sure to be offered in an amazing body.
Interior shots
When you build a race car, the interior is always simple: you just rip out everything except the steering wheel and instrument cluster and add tons of safety equipment and features. In our case, the Ford Mustang Boss, you should expect a HANS-capable Recaro racing seat, equipped with a 6-point racing harness and an FIA specification.
There’s also the 6-point roll cage tied together with Mustang’s factory unibody components. The model replacing the version also featured a quick-release steering wheel, window net, dual-nozzle fire suppression system, and safety net (angled toward the right side of the driver’s seat).

Engine specifications
The new Mustang Boss lives up to its name and will most likely feature Ford’s 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V-8 engine and a heavy-duty aluminum radiator. The engine mates to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the RWD via the 3.73-gear Torsen rear differential.
The previous Ford Mustang Boss also featured unique Ford Racing tuning for the electric power steering, adjustable suspension, and upgraded front brakes that include a 4-piston Brembo caliper clamping down two-piece 14-inch rotors that are kept cool by spindle cooling ducts. The rear brakes consisted of Mustang’s factory 11.8-inch rotors and a single-piston caliper, and the factory fuel tank is carried over to the track as well.
Price & Release Date
Although we lack the crucial information about the Ford Mustang Boss 302, we know for sure what price it will be priced at when it is officially released. The Boss 302 will come with an MSRP of €89,995 (Euro) for the base model. We also expect the units to be limited to a certain production number, most likely 50 units. According to a very reliable source, the vehicle should be ready to appear in showrooms before fall this year. Potential competitors of the Ford Mustang Boss 302 include Chevrolet Camaro and Porsche Cayman .
