For everyone who had a soft spot for the 2004 Mustang GT-R concept - and that should include anyone who ever saw it - your chariot has arrived.

The Ford Mustang Boss 302S bears an uncanny resemblance to the concept, right down to the wheels, rear spoiler, splitter and matt-black hood. It even has the same power output!

2010 also saw the return of the street legal Boss Mustang 302, and this racing version shares some of the same hallmarks. The limited production BOSS 302S will be the third competition car in Ford Motor Company's history to be built at a Ford production facility and made available for racers to purchase through authorized Ford Racing dealers.

"Ford Racing is excited to add an additional turn-key ready to race car to our stable, which includes the highly successful FR500C, FR500S, BOSS 302R and Cobra Jet," said Mark Wilson, Engineering Manager Ford Racing. "The enthusiasts who purchase the BOSS 302S will be competitive in both the World Challenge GTS and the NASA American Iron Series. We look forward to adding their names to the BOSS 302's racing history."

Powering the Ford Mustang Boss 302S is a 5.0 litre V8 which produces 440 horsepower. This is connected to a 6-speed manual transmission borrowed from the Boss 302. The BOSS 302S suspension features two-way adjustable coil-over dampers and Ford Racing anti-roll bars in both the front and rear.

The BOSS 302S starts life as a standard Mustang body-in-white, to reduce weight, the factory seam sealer, sound deadener and interior panels are removed prior to the build process. In addition to body reinforcement, a 6 point FIA legal roll cage is installed for driver safety and chassis rigidity. The interior features a RECARO HANS Pro-Racer lightweight race seat, 6-point safety belt, quick release steering wheel and AIM data acquisition system with GPS.

Upgrades to the Boss 302S' exterior and bodywork include a unique fiberglass hood, adjustable front splitter, adjustable rear wing, hood pins, and a retro style graphics package.
