The second generation Ford Mustang Boss 302 was released in 2012 as a high-performance variant of the 2011 Mustang GT. The 5.0L V8 features a reworked camshaft, CNC ported cylinder heads, revised camshafts and a high flow intake which was previously only fitted to the 302R racecar.
The Boss 302 is fitted with the suspension seen on the 2011 Mustang GT but has higher-rate coil springs, stiffer bushings and a larger diameter rear stabiliser bar. It also has a lower ride height, sport mode traction control and revised stability controls.
The body panels of the Boss 302 are nearly entirely copied from those fitted to the Boss 302R race car.

Need for Speed: World
Edit
The Boss 302 was initially available in Need for Speed: World as a Tier 3 Top-Up vehicle from September 26th, 2011. It was made available in the car dealer on November 29th, 2011.
Since August 22nd, 2012, it has been featured as a 'A' Class vehicle. On October 16th, 2012, it was made purchaseable for in-game cash, which was retired on January 9th, 2013. It was re-released on March 5th, 2013.
The stock variant has a 688 overall rating and costs
1,900,000. It is included in the Gold Starter Pack as standard. The SpeedBoost variant is upgraded with Amerikon Speedsystems Street Tuned parts. It has a 734 overall rating and costs
4,900. Both are upgradeable to S Class.
The acceleration of the Boss 302 is up to par with other high-performance A Class cars such as the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640. It has a decent nitrous boost. Its handling feels responsive although the car will easily slide under hard cornering. Top speed is 192 mph (309 km/h). The SpeedBoost version is capable of reaching 216 mph (348 km/h).
Special Variants
Edit
A "The Boss" variant was made available on December 16th, 2011. It is currently unavailable for purchase.
It is fitted with a series of aftermarket parts and special police vinyls as well as usable police lights. It is upgraded with Gromlen Race Tuned parts, which increase its class rating to S and its overall rating to 756.
Need for Speed: The Run
Edit
The Boss 302 appears in Need for Speed: The Run as an unlocked Tier 2 vehicle.
Its top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h) might be lacking to the rest of the Tier 2 competition, which is compensated by quick acceleration. The Boss 302 has a "Very Difficult" handling rating, as opposed to the Ford Mustang RTR, which has a better handling but a slower acceleration.
Special Variants
Edit
The Boss 302 also appears as a Tier 5 "ED Edition" vehicle and as a Tier 4 "Razor Edition" vehicle.
The ED Edition is unlocked upon defeating Eddie Cooke in the first event of Stage 10. It has quick acceleration, a "Very Difficult" handling rating and a top speed of 217 mph (349 km/h).
The Razor Edition was included in the Most Wanted Challenge Series pre-order bonus and is available with the purchase of the Heroes and Villains Pack. It is unlocked upon earning a gold medal for all Most Wanted Challenges.
The car's performance is up to par with most Tier 4 cars. It has a "Challenging" handling rating and a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h).
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)
Edit
The Ford Mustang Boss 302 appears as a Muscle class vehicle in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012).
The Boss 302 is unlocked upon finding its Jack Spots in singleplayer. In multiplayer, it is unlocked upon reaching SpeedLevel 27.
It is a decent Muscle class vehicle, which is up to par with the Bentley Supersports ISR and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in the field of acceleration. Main drawback of the Boss 302 is its handling, which suffers from understeer at high speeds. However, it's easy to drift with when the player brakes during corner entry. In pursuits, the Boss 302 can withstand collisions well due to its durability.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) (Mobile)
Edit
The Ford Mustang Boss 302 appears in the mobile release of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) in the Muscle category. It costs $60,000 and has the same stats as the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1; a focus on acceleration with low handling.
