Ford Racing Mustangs

Race cars are the extreme expression of performance
and the pride of all auto manufacturers, especially
when the manufacturer engineers, develops and builds
the race cars — and the cars win! Such is the case at
Ford, the only manufacturer to offer a diverse line of
fully engineered, turnkey, winning race cars for amateur
and professional competition. The BOSS 302R is the
latest addition to the race-winning formula.
Mustang BOSS 302R
To honor the 40th anniversary of Parnelli Jones' 1970
Trans-Am championship Mustang BOSS 302 prepared
by Bud Moore Engineering, Ford Racing introduces the
Mustang BOSS 302R, a factory-built race car ready for
track days and road racing in a number of professional
and amateur racing series.
The BOSS 302R follows in the very successful footsteps
of the Mustang FR500C. The Mustang BOSS 302R is
a serialized off-road-only vehicle ready to race. Each
BOSS 302R will come with a 5.0-liter 4-valve engine,
6-speed manual transmission, roll cage, race seats,
safety harness, data acquisition system, race-ready
shock absorbers and springs, and a Brembo
tire package.
The original BOSS 302 was a championship-winning
legend and the 2013 Mustang BOSS 302R will carry on
the tradition. The Mustang was born to race from the
start, and the Mustang BOSS 302R is bred to win.

Mustang FR500C
The first of this family of Mustang race cars was the
FR500C — designed to compete in the Grand-Am KONI
Challenge. The FR500C had a remarkable first season,
winning the "triple crown" of drivers', manufacturers'
and team championships. The FR500C repeated the
triple crown performance in 2008 and 2009! The
formula was so good, the FR500C went to Europe
and stormed to the 2007 and 2008 FIA GT4 drivers'
championships.
Mustang FR500S
Given the success of the FR500C, Ford Racing embarked
upon an even more ambitious effort — building race cars
in the Mustang assembly plant. Through a collaboration
involving Ford Racing, Miller Motorsports Park, Team
Mustang and the team at the plant, the FR500S was
born — and with it the Mustang Challenge for the Miller
Cup, a professional road racing spec series exclusively
featuring the FR500S.
Mustang FR500CJ
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Cobra
Jet Mustang, Ford Racing returned to sportsman drag
brake and
TM
racing in a big way with the FR500CJ (Cobra Jet) — a
turnkey, purpose-built drag race car. This factory hot
rod is powered by the supercharged 5.4 Cobra Jet
engine, and benefits from the same factory design and
engineering that went into its road-racing brothers.
