Ford Kills The Mustang Boss 302

Ford is following through on its promise to limit the Mustang Boss 302 to just two years of production. Act now, time is running out.

The greatest Mustang variant on sale today won’t be for around for much longer, as Ford’s 2014 Mustang order guide does not include the 302. Buyers will be limited to the V6, 5.0 or GT500. This is your last chance to get a retro-styled, track-focused, naturally aspirated V8 Mustang.

The 2014 Ford Mustang order guide has been published, and as expected there aren’t a lot of changes to most V-6 and V-8 Mustangs. The same holds true for the Shelby GT500, which was updated for the 2013 model year. With a completely new Mustang due from Ford in 2014 as a 2015 model, it’s really no surprise that Ford didn’t sink a lot of development into the current car’s final year, but there’s also a bit of serious bad news, …

Mazda Boss Reveals More About Rotary Range Extender

The rotary engine and Mazda have had a tumultuus, on-and-off relationship that rivals an Old Hollywood marriage. Market conditions and government regulations have made mass production of the rotary a constant challenge, and the death of the Mazda RX-8 looked like the final nail in the Wankel’s coffin.

It turns out that Mazda is not only reviving the rotary, but the rumors of its use as a range extender have been confirmed by Mazda head Takashi Yamanouchi, who spoke briefly at the Moscow Auto Sh…

Wolff to assist team boss Frank Williams

Williams has finally confirmed reports Toto Wolff is ramping up his role with the Grove based team.

Even before chairman Adam Parr left the team recently, F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone said he thinks "people like Toto Wolff should get more control" at Williams.

Wolff, a young Austrian businessman and former racer, bought a stake in the famous British team in 2009.

He is also team test driver Susie Wolff’s manager, and Friday driver Valtteri Bottas’ manager.

Is The 2013 Mustang GT A Poor Man’s Boss 302? Video

2013 Ford Mustang GT
We’ll come clean: some of us here have a thing about 5.0-liter V-8 Mustangs. No, they’re not as sophisticated as the latest Bavarian bratwurst rocket, but neither are they as expensive to buy and maintain. Sure, even the track-ready Boss 302 is saddled with a live rear axle, but (trust on on this) that’s only an issue when pushing the car hard at the roughest of racetracks. Yes, it weighs over 3,600 pounds, but it’s still lighter than the Camaro (and sounds better, at least …
