Ford Mustang 2012 The Cavalry Charge Continues
The return of old rivals had the best effect on the Ford Mustang 2012. The pioneer of pony cars has grown steadily since, on all fronts. Not to mention the introduction of modern versions of legendary models out the great history of the American standard. After the return of the 5.0-liter V8 and the appearance of a Shelby GT500 spectacular last year, this year this Ford Boss 302 that has everything to revive the glorious years of the Ford Mustang 2012Â Trans Am series Y including a special key that transforms into a beast circuit and Laguna Seca version, which is nothing less than a race car that can register.
Ford does not stop in so good way and this year launched a modern version of the Boss 302, a sports car without compromise created in 1969 to allow for the inclusion of the famous Mustang Trans Am series will face She was especially Camaro Z28, Chevrolet created by the same purpose and the same spirit. Both versions were powered by very sophisticated V8 engines with a cylinder respected the limit of 305 cubic inches (5 liters) imposed in this series. Hence the term 302 for the 4.9 liter engine of the first Boss that Jacques Duval presented as “a loose race car” in the 1970 edition of the Guide of the car.
For road or circuit Ford Mustang 2012
In short, the new Boss 302 is a version of the GT coupe that engineers revised or modified virtually all components to improve both performance and handling. Result: Ford Mustang 2012Â with 4.9 liter naturally aspirated V8 produces 444 horsepower at 7500 rpm / min, a high speed for a V8 of that size. This is possible thanks to an intake manifold and camshafts as well as a different exhaust tips, two to four exhale on the sides of the car. The suspension is firmer and lowers the vehicle body from 11 mm to 1 mm and the front to the rear. Shocks and struts are set over five floors with a screwdriver depending on whether you ride on the road or on a circuit that driver. This Ford Mustang 2012Â for diehard also benefits from alloy wheels are lighter and more powerful Brembo brakes.
The other thoroughbred always pawing Ford Mustang 2012
The Shelby GT500 last year became the most powerful Ford Mustang 2012Â ever produced. Its 550 horsepower V8 compressed, derived from the Ford GT was produced in 2005 and 2006, consumes less than its predecessor, but it is mostly lighter than 46 pounds thanks to an engine block of aluminum. This important relief height front does wonders for handling.
In these times of economic uncertainty and restrictions, where electric cars and the like in the news almost daily, the presence of American cut as exceptional as the Mustang Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 in the range from the same manufacturer is rather the phenomenon. Congratulations to Ford let the deep passion of its engineers to freely express themselves as his proudest steeds. All the cars will be even better, the wisest of compact cars the most innovative green.

Ford Mustang Giugiaro Concept Review
In 2005 Ford Mustang captured the hearts and minds of millions of fans and future owners when the all-new model debuted. But the proportions and design of Ford muscle cars main purpose-built in 30 years took a pair of eyes and imagination to create the worlds leading coachbuilders in Italy as well.
"When we saw the new Mustang, we knew two things: The best thing weve seen since the beginning, and we have to get their hands on one," said Fabrizio Giugiaro, Italdesign Design Director - Giugiaro SPA "We still believe it is important to indicate the year in the automotive world pure in style that interpret key models reflecting the history and image of important brands. "
Thus, in early 2005, Giugiaro acute J Mays, group vice president of Ford Motor Company, Design and Chief Creative Officer, on his idea of the Italian job on the beloved Mustang. The result: Mustang by Giugiaro - a unique concept powered by Ford Racing technologies, marking the Italian coachbuilders first reveal at the inauguration Salon in November Los Angeles Auto Show.
"It seems normal," said Mays. "This design study reinforces the global appeal of Mustang, but thats just at home in Los Angeles -. The performance of the most enthusiastic of the American muscle car market and many more, offer a design icon Giorgetto Giugairo to work his magic on Mustang with children underscores the lasting appeal Fords most iconic car. "
Design lovers will remember that the main Giugiaro - who last year celebrated its 50th anniversary in business by designing custom-made Ferrari, the GG50 - created in 1965 Bertone Mustang. The car, which certainly Italian in its interpretation, became the first European-style car to make his international debut in America after the end of World War II.
Giugiaros senior portfolio that includes concept drawings and production of nearly every car manufacturer in the world - from Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Volkswagen to Mazda, Lotus and Bugatti. Since joining Italdesign, the family business in 1990, Fabrizio Giugiaro has helped deliver key global designs as well, but the iconic American cars have long captured his attention.
He designed the Chevrolet Corvette Moray, unveiled in early 2003, and wants to expand the collection of Giugiaro-interpreted American metal.
Fabrizio Giugiaro led the design process to 2-D on the Giugiaro Mustang concept by allowing it to deliver a complete exterior model of the family in Turin, Italy, studios in just four months.
Visually, the Mustang Giugiaro appears more compact than the production car, thanks to the reduction of the rear overhang and a signature Giugiaro "trick" from a tight angle on the car to the limit of the mechanical line.
However, the Italian version of American muscle cars of the most popular, has lost none of arrogance.
Orange concept is wider dynamic of the production version. The Giugiaros added 30 millimeters to the front, gradually expanding the width by a full 80 millimeters toward the rear, which is typical of Italian design.
With a long hood and the trunk barely visible, the car looks more of a fastback in side view. But details throughout reinforce the freedom and rebellion synonymous with Mustang. Fabrizio Giugiaro favorites include:
The interior - with a dramatic instrument panel that sweeps the width of the car, circular gauges that project from behind the wheel, dark brown horse covered headrests with horse logo accents, and cushions and the back a dark brown leather with a careful look at the horses.Curved glass panel that connects the windshield and rear window, roof serves as a concept. Produced by Solutia of Detroit, the panel is made of a special type of crystal that filters out 100 percent of UVA rays while providing unfettered views of Vista.Drama door, hinged at the base of an upright A-pillar and open vertically at the touch of a button.Custom lighting, which includes three distinct elements that are found on the 1964 Mustang - but reinterpreted into a more dramatic arrow shape that links to the panel that replaces the rear side window blinds.The circle looks rushed to the defense of the concept of carbon fiber, hinting at tail fins that defined American cars 50s.Unique sports-but-elegant 20-inch wheels, with 275/40 tires in front and larger 315/35 tires on the back.Such as wheels and tires suggest, the Mustang by Giugiaro is more than just a tribute to Mustang design. It was an exclamation point performance car heritage.
The concept features powertrain and chassis enhanced in conjunction with Ford Racing - which is responsible for the development of the Ford Motor Company and Motorsports operation.
Ford Racing efforts include the development and sale of a race-ready version of the Mustang, called the FR500C, for the Grand-Am KONI Challenge. In his first season alone, GS FR500C scored five wins in 2005, including the manufacturers championship, defeating the Mustang where other production-based sports cars, including the BMW M3 and Porsche 911.
This Mustang, a key race car sold to privateers, providing inspiration for the Mustang Giugiaro concepts performance and handling attributes.
Ford Racing improved on the already robust 300 horsepower all-aluminum 4.6-liter 3-valve V-8 engine in the production Mustang GT by adding an intercooled twin-screw supercharger for the new concept. Additional improvements include fuel injectors from the Ford GT and a unique engine calibration. Engine air intake is increased by more than 95 meters of air masses mm and a conical air filter. Exhaust performance is enhanced with new Ford Racing mufflers and an X-pipe.
Powertrain improvements to deliver an estimated 500 horsepower, with a level of 11 psi from the Ford Racing supercharger increases. A high-efficiency Ford Racing aluminum radiator offers increased cooling capacity to 200 additional horsepower provided accompany.
Under the car, setting the FR500C-inspired chassis is achieved with Ford Racing Handling Package adjusted. This package, available through Ford Racing for the Mustang GT, adds new Dynamic-tuned dampers, lowering springs and anti-roll bar. The changes give the car a lower stance while sharpening handling response. The car rose to about 1.5 inches lower than the production Mustang GT.
"The Mustang Giugiaro drives as good as it looks," said Fabrizio Giugiaro. "After taking the limit in the streets outside of Turin, I can honestly say this car is well worth the 30,000 hours of blood, sweat and tears that we invested to create a modern performance classic."

Ford Mustang Boss 302 2013
- Ford Mustang Boss 302, 2013
The Ford Mustang Boss 302 is all about performance, and a nod to heritage comes standard with new paint options and design details for 2013.
A new hockey stick graphic featuring reflective stripes is added to the new Boss, calling back the 1970 Boss 302. 2013 Boss 302 and Boss Laguna Seca models feature new School Bus Yellow paint, honoring Parnelli Jones 1970 Trans-Am championship car prepared by Bud Moore.
"Everything we did for 2013 is consistent with and links directly back to our 1970 heritage. The reflective stripes and hockey stick graphic in particular mean something to Mustang enthusiasts," said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. "Last year, we proved the car had what it takes to perform, and this year we focused on enhancing its eye-catching looks and celebrating its history."
The reflective stripes on Boss come to life when lights hit them, similar to how they did in 1970 on the Ford Mustang Boss 302. The new stripe follows the classic hockey stick motif by going over the fender and extending down the body panel.
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 2013 Boss 302 also offers a unique functional design feature in the grille with removable covers where fog lamps would be. For improved cooling on track days, the covers can be easily removed with a screwdriver.
The rear end features a high-gloss black panel that connects the taillamps. The taillamps deliver a smoked appearance that matches up with the sinister look up front.
The new Mustang Boss 302 includes Ford SYNC, the voice-activated in-car connectivity system, as a standard feature. With the base SYNC package, customers enjoy the core hands-free features and services that have quickly established SYNC as a must-have technology, with more than 76 percent of current SYNC users saying they would recommend the system to others.
Some features of SYNC:
- 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
Revved up and ready
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.
Boss braking is also up to the challenge, using Brembo four-piston calipers acting on 14-inch vented rotors up front. In back, standard Mustang GT brakes are upgraded with a Boss-specific high-performance pad compound. The combination of vented brake shields and unique Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) tuning gives Boss drivers maximum control and rapid, repeatable fade-free stops in road and race situations alike.
Boss 302 circa 1969-70
With styling tweaked by newly arrived Ford designer Larry Shinoda, the new-for-1969 Boss 302 sported front and rear spoilers, blacked-out hood treatment and racy side stripes for a look that screamed performance.
Beyond the bodywork, the Boss 302 didnt disappoint. Its engine combined a four-bolt main Windsor small-block with reworked heads from the then-new 351 Cleveland engine. A forged steel crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons rounded out the reciprocating assembly. The result was a free-breathing, high-revving powerplant making what Ford claimed was 290 gross horsepower - though actual output is estimated to be significantly higher.
The Ford engineers thoroughly massaged Mustangs suspension in an effort to meet then-boss Semon "Bunkie" Knudsens mandate "to build absolutely the best-handling street car available on the American market." Stiffer springs and shocks, special sway-bar tuning, a stiffened chassis and wide tires led to the fastest Mustang ever to lap the Ford test track up to that point.

Ford Mustang GT Review
5.0 is back! 2011 Ford Mustang GT comes with a brand new 5.0-liter V-8 engine up, which was developed by a core group of engineers who are passionate fans who had gathered around a common goal to provide more than 400 horsepower.
Modern 5.0-liter overhead cam four-valve dual independent variable distribution (Ti-VCT) V-8 engine in the Ford Mustang GT 412 will offer horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. At the same time, fuel economy should be better than previous models and unmatched in its class.
"This new 5.0-liter engine is the next chapter in the development of world-class Mustang powertrain portfolio," said Derrick Kuzak, vice president, Global Product Development "This is a modern machine for. Time, delivering performance and fun to drive factor that enthusiasts want while improving the economic of fuel. "
Coyote in the lobby
Many engineers from the development team has worked in the motor and electrical engineering building on campus in Dearborn, Michigan, the center of product development. Over the years they spend in front of the original Coyote 5.0-liter V-8 engine Indy exhibited in the lobby, continues inspired by his mixed heritage, high technology and power.
Powertrain development community has long wanted to develop a new 5.0-liter powerplant with strategic discussions beginning in 2000. In 2007, the Mustang competitive landscape began to change, a sign that it is time to move the world-class Ford Mustang GT powertrain.
The team began to develop a 5.0-liter engine with the goal of providing more than 400 horses on an accelerated schedule of 12 months, with no compromise in terms of economic reliability, durability of fuel, or noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.
"Almost all the team members worked on other major programs of the powertrain," said V-8 engine program manager Mike Harrison "They all have a clear vision for their work or component. Subsystems their passion for engines, racing and give every ounce of performance last over the entire range of engine speeds showed they really put their heads and their hearts into this powertrain .. "
Engine testing and development criteria, including 5.0-liter block, using a different drill and measuring stroke, four-valve cylinder heads and cams GT500, a different configuration of the intake manifold runners, different compression ratio and a deep sump oil pan. The team also evaluated Ford Racing 5.0-liter "Cammer" V-8 engine case for transferable best practices.
Extensive computer-aided engineering (CAE) modeling, testing and evaluation of motor development in combination with intricate machine work to bring this promising new configuration every breath of life within an accelerated time frame.
The results of this development is "and" solutions, not "or." 2011 Mustang buyers will enjoy the benefits of a strong engine and fuel economy that is responsible.
Ti-VCT
An important element in the 5.0-liter V-8 capacity to deliver 412 horsepower with maneuverability, obedience and improved fuel economy during the 2010 Ford Mustang GT powertrain, enhanced Ti-VCT.
For high performance applications, the team specified cam-torque variable camshaft control. The use of existing energy cam couples, with the help of pressurized oil, means that the marginal improvement in the oil pump is required, so that less parasitic drag. Increased volumetric and thermal efficiency of Ti-VCT gives faster response at all engine speeds.
During the development phase, the cam lift profile and port optimization starts with units raised more than the Ford Racing, modified for compatibility with various four-valve cylinder head. Extensive CAE and test performed at the event and the camshaft to improve the flow ports for performance and energy efficiency in collaboration with the variable camshaft.
All-new aluminum produced four valves per cylinder head features roller finger follower valvetrain compact to leave more room for high-speed performance to breathe free port. Head structures designed to withstand high pressure in the cylinder head and cross-flow cooling for sustained high rpm use. Bolt head size was increased from 11 to 12 millimeters contain higher combustion pressures.
Aluminum block was developed to improve oil drainback and conditions of dunnage and lateral high speed as a track-day enthusiasts output and owner drivers. Increasing the width of the main bearing bulkhead and nodular iron cross-bolted main bearing caps with upsized bolts are also used to meet a significant increase in performance.
An additional element is the increased capacity and confusing oil in sump stamped steel pan to enable sustained high rpm use and offer convenience drain intervals of 10,000 miles. Piston cooling jets have also been incorporated for performance-minded customers and accelerate the heating oil at cold start.
Specially designed tubular exhaust manifolds have been developed to maximize exhaust pulse separation and improve flow. A team of analysts actually make the head tube at the studio at home, bringing CAE design to life.
Performance and fuel economy
Power 412 and 390 lb-ft of torque delivered by the 2011 Mustang GT 5.0-liter V-8 is a significant increase in 2010 output model year.
Six-speed automatic transmission on a 2011 Ford Mustang GT will deliver up to about 25 and 17 mpg highway in the city. This represents an increase of 23 mpg city and 17 highway for the 2010 model. Six-speed manual transmission for 2011 Ford Mustang GT models are designed to deliver 24 mpg city and 16 highway, according to the 2010 model, but the horses feel the performance of delivery and more.
2011 Ford Mustang GT fuel economy enabled by the Ti-VCT, six-speed automatic transmission or manual variables, EPA and the extra seal on the rear trunk lid to improve aerodynamics.
Fuel economy is also assisted by lightweight powertrain engineering. Machines, such as delivered, weighs only 430 pounds. This is a weight gain of more than 20 percent from the previous 5.0-liter offerings. Lower mass can be attributed to the aluminum block and heads, intake manifolds lightweight composite cam covers and hollow camshafts.
Improved driving dynamics
EPA has made a significant contribution to the Ford Mustang GT driving dynamics, delivering faster response on the central management, business improvement at highway speeds and reduce the effort required in the parking maneuver at low speeds. EPA allows specific tuning for the Ford Mustang GT applications.
2011 Ford Mustang GT has a reinforced rear control arms to increase the low stiffness, improve powertrain NVH control and sharpen handling. A rear stabilizer bar for the more rigid the direction of the center are also included. Diameter stabilizer bars, shocks and spring rates have all been tuned to improve the dynamics.
Brembo brake package upgrade will be available for the serious amateur. This package includes 14-inch ventilated front discs from the Mustang GT500, unique wheels and tires 19-inch summer performance.
Fill in comfort
For 2011, Ford Mustang GT offers the convenience of drivers several new technologies, including:
Message Center Standards
Integrated blind spot mirrors
MyKey ™ programmable vehicle key
Illuminated visor
Opening the doors open
Sun visor storage
New look
5.0 badges from the new wing for the cap, the Ford Mustang GT and continue to proudly honor the legacy of his predecessor. Speedometer speedometer goes to 160 mph and 6500-7000 rpm Redline progress.
Three new bright colors will be added for 2011 including Blaze Tri-Coat, Race Red Yellow and Silver bullion.
Improved NVH control and conversion of stiffness
For 2011, Ford Mustang GT benefits across-the-board improvements in NVH. These include additional soundproofing material on each side of the dashboard, an additional seal between the door and side skirts to reduce wind noise and a real ship wheel arches to reduce noise gravel or wet surfaces.
Ford Mustang GT convertible models feature enhanced structural rigidity, with lateral rigidity increased by 12 percent compared with 2010 models. A corset to turn round the front legs are now the norm, and V-resistance has stiffened by adding gussets. Through high school has also been tightened while the Z-brace front was added, connecting primary and secondary bonds. A rigid foam pillars have also been added for increased rigidity.
"The Heritage Mustang powertrain honor by raising the bar of performance while improving fuel economy," said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Powertrain Development. "For fans, a passionate member of, 5 0 liter V-8 teams like to have cake and eat it too."
