Wild Twin-turbo Mustang Boss 302 Gets Celebrity Treatment
Instagrammer gives us a walk on the wild side with this digital dream machine, aka Ford Mustang Boss 302.
Ford’s Mustang has sold millions of copies and inspired countless enthusiasts to get involved in the car hobby. When it was first shown at the New York World’s Fair on April 17, 1964, it caused a sensation, and now, years later, its trademark “long hood, short deck” styling makes it unmistakable in traffic.
The Ford Mustang is the sort of car that just begs to be personalized and customized to suit the owner. Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, we can see all kinds of wild customs that would never be built otherwise. Take, for example, this rendering we spotted over at Instagrammer Rotislav Prokop’s page.
Czech designer Rotislav Prokop decided to render a 1969 Mustang Boss 302 into a low-down, twin-turbo, wide-body monster. Not content with a few photos, he even uploaded a YouTube video of a walkaround. It’s probably as close as we’ll ever get to seeing this wild creation in the real world.
Bigger is Better
It’s hard to decide where to start, as there’s a lot going on with this modified digital Mustang. The elephant in the room has to be the wild twin-turbo setup, sticking above the (nonexistent) hood line and feeding a carbon fiber intake. Although the Boss 302 was designed for the Trans Am racing series, we doubt the engineers that worked on it originally could have imagined this.
The body is equally outrageous. The widebody design eliminates one of the 1969 Mustang fastback’s trademark features — the high-mounted quarter panel scoops — and replaces them with more traditionally-placed side scoops that ostensibly feed some massive brakes. Those scoops are probably the only part of this creation that are actually more subtle than the original.
Those wide wheel arches house a set of equally wide large diameter modern wheels. You’ll find no Magnum 500s here. Other touches include a NASCAR-style sheetmetal wing in favor of the stock pedestal wing, and an aerodynamic lip kit.
One the one hand, this concept is interesting to look at. On the other, we’re thankful that no real 1969 Boss 302s were harmed in its creation. Modern technology is great, allowing us to see, hear, and experience these dream cars like never before.
