For fans of true muscle cars, time can sometimes flow in the opposite direction. The legendary Ford Mustang Boss 302 from the 1970 model year - one of the brightest emblems of American automotive culture - is officially back on the road. This revived classic masterpiece is the work of the specialists from Revology Cars, who managed to preserve the spirit of the 70s, incorporating the technologies of the future into it.
At first glance, the new Boss 302 is absolutely indistinguishable from its glorious predecessor. The fastback silhouette, the aggressive long hood and the characteristic spoilers in the front and rear have been preserved with meticulous accuracy. The only detail that hints at the modern era are the modern alloy wheels, which, however, fit perfectly into the overall aesthetics. This is not just a restoration, but a meticulously crafted “restomod“ that aims to offer the best of both worlds.
Entering the cabin, the driver is immersed in the authentic atmosphere of 1970, but with a level of comfort unknown for the era. The materials in the interior have been significantly improved, and a modern multimedia system with a touch screen display has been discreetly integrated into the center console. Unlike the original spartan versions, air conditioning is standard equipment here, making the car perfectly suitable for everyday driving without having to sacrifice comfort for style.
However, the real magic happens under the hood. There, in place of the old engine, Ford's modern technological marvel has been installed - a 5.0-liter V8 unit with a power of 460 horsepower. This impressive power is transmitted to the wheels through a choice of two transmissions: a classic 6-speed manual gearbox for thrill seekers or a super modern 10-speed automatic. To control this power, the car is equipped with powerful disc brakes of the latest generation.
The price of this pleasure is just as exclusive as the car itself - 375,000 dollars. For comparison, the original Boss 302 was produced only in the period 1969-1970 as a homologation for the Trans-Am racing series, with a total circulation of just over 8,600 units. The engine of that time developed 290 hp, accelerating to 100 km/h in about 6.5 seconds. Today, the Revology Cars project raises the bar much higher, transforming a historical legend into a modern road predator that not only looks fast, but is capable of putting many modern sports cars to shame.
