For the most part, most of us assumed the Boss 302 would only be in production for a few years, just like its classic counterpart. Well, this has now been confirmed by the folks at Ford.

The 2013 Boss 302 boasts a 444-hp 5.0-liter V8 engine, producing 380 lb-ft of torque, with a 0-60 time of about 4 seconds flat.
