| 00:00:02 | >> The boss 302 was engineered
at ford.
|
| 00:00:06 | >> That's the best part
of the boss 302.
|
| 00:00:08 | The boss 302 was developed
by a group of people that
are extremely enthusiastic,
love everything about mustang;
everybody's working together to
build the baddest mustang
that we've ever built.
|
| 00:00:18 | >>Even the name "boss" serves
up the very nature of a 100%
>> a lot of people
think it was
the "boss of the road," that's
where they got the name, that
this was the boss on the street.
|
| 00:00:31 | And that wasn't it at all.
|
| 00:00:33 | >>The original designer,
larry shinoda, came up with
the boss moniker as a way to
pay homage to bunkie knudsen,
the ceo at ford and an
outspoken proponent of
ny car's development.
|
| 00:00:44 | >> He just called him "boss,"
he didn't call him "mr.
|
| 00:00:46 | Knudsen," he was the boss.
|
| 00:00:47 | So when he told his designers,
"i want to design a car that's
the coolest mustang out there.
|
| 00:00:53 | I don't want somebody else's
name on it, like a shelby,
"
so they call it the boss
mustang, because they designed
it for the new boss, and of
course, as they say,
the rest is history.
|
| 00:01:05 | >>Ford's code name for this
project is 747, because
the boss was designed to
fly off the track.
|
| 00:01:12 | And so far, it's done
exactly that.
|
| 00:01:16 | Now that it's put in track
time, it's back to the next
phase of development.
|
| 00:01:21 | >> Basically we started with
the boss 302r racing program.
|
| 00:01:24 | Those guys took the existing
mustang, went racing with it,
came back to us and told us
everything that we had to do
to make the car better.
|
| 00:01:31 | So effectively, we took all of
the engineering that they worked
on to make this car successful
on the track, and applied it
to the street car.
|
| 00:01:37 | >>This is evidence of form
working in perfect harmony
with function.
|
| 00:01:42 | Every part of this vehicle
works to enhance
its performance.
|
| 00:01:45 | >> We've added a functional
front splitter to the vehicle,
we added a spoiler to the rear
of the car, we added some
underbody air flow actions,
improved sealing around the
cooling system, all in the name
of balancing out
the aerodynamics better,
so that it's more confident to
drive on the track at high
speed, so that when you're
braking, accelerating, diving
into a corner, the car is more
stable and more predictable.
|
| 00:02:07 | What the splitter does is it
creates a stagnation zone of air
pressure on top that creates
additional down force above.
|
| 00:02:13 | And then it also accelerates
the air underneath the car,
and by having the higher-speed
air go underneath, it creates
a pressure delta that helps suck
the car to the ground further.
|
| 00:02:22 | Same concept goes on
with the rear spoiler.
|
| 00:02:25 | The laguna seca package has
an additional splitter that's
even larger, and a larger rear
spoiler that creates even
more down force.
|
| 00:02:33 | That's primarily designed
for the track.
|
| 00:02:35 | >>And of course, it's out on
the track where concept and
development are put through
the ringer; forced to perform
at the practical level.
|
| 00:02:45 | >> So on the 2012 boss,
we wanted to push things
as far as we could,
so what we did was, we added
in our quad hausts, our
side-type exhausts; we're just
piping the acoustics out the
side, we still retain the rest
of the tail pipe.
|
| 00:02:57 | What that gives you in
engineering terms is a better
transfer function, so really
the outlet, it's just closer
to the driver, closer to
the passenger.
|
| 00:03:04 | All we're doing is dumping right
out at the h-pipe crossover
tube, so we get the modulation
that we ives you that
traditional v-8 muscle car
lopey sound.
|
| 00:03:12 | Right here in the flange we have
a little disc in there, we tune
it to get the appropriate level
so that the car's legal
for exterior noise.
|
| 00:03:19 | The sweet part about this is
the system is designed so that
there's two bolts here;
the customer, when they get it
home, if they want to take it
out to the track, they can
unbolt this, pull down the
plate, pull the plate out,
drop it down when they're ready
to hit the track.
|
| 00:03:31 | >> Before it even turns the
corner, you hear it off in the
distance, you're gonna know
t's a new boss 302
just because of its
signature sound.
|
| 00:03:42 | >> One of the big things we got
was adjustable dampers.
|
| 00:03:44 | Really wanted to give the
customer the option of running
a really stiff set-up for the
track, and we've got a really
good smooth track set-up,
and then you can dial it back
a little bit to go home,
or maybe you got some high
curbing and you want to take
a little damping out.
|
| 00:03:59 | In-vehicle, the customer
can just grab their small
screwdriver and go between one
of five different settings
to adjust the damping control
in the vehicle.
|
| 00:04:07 | Simple but effective.
|
| 00:04:08 | And we've got a very wide range
of damping control
using these five settings.
|
| 00:04:13 | To adjust to these monster tires
that we got on this car, we have
a lot of rear bar, the biggest
bar I think that's ever been on
a mustang from the factory.
|
| 00:04:21 | And the only reason we can
really run that is to
run a torsen.
|
| 00:04:24 | So if we're running the standard
clutch diff, it's gonna lift
the inside rear wheel
and fry that differential.
|
| 00:04:30 | Well, because we have a torsen,
we can get away with
this amount of rear bar.
|
| 00:04:35 | >> One of the key things about
this boss was, this is kind of
like an ultimate car.
|
| 00:04:39 | We were able to let all our
engineers who love the mustang
and love driving put every
little piece they wanted
in the car.
|
| 00:04:47 | And so really what this is,
is it's our engineers' car,
to say, "this is what we can
do," and we ended up with just
a fantastic vehicle that's
a ton of fun to drive.
|
| 00:04:57 | >> This car is wicked fast.
|
| 00:04:59 | We need to be able to stop,
and we need to be able to stop
more than once, that's why we
put so much focus on the cooling
and really giving that driver
good feedback and good stopping
power to be able to manage
all that speed.
|
| 00:05:10 | So for the boss, we took the
brake packages further than
we've ever taken it; with the
cooling, with the low expansion
hoses, with the e pad
material, and just the whole
system tuning is unique
for this car.
|
| 00:05:23 | The boss is gonna have the best
brakes we've had on the mustang
yet; should be great for
street driving, auto cross,
weekend track use,
you name it.
|
| 00:05:32 | >>The end zone is in sight,
but before the kick-off,
there's one last stop to make:
The great carroll shelby.
|
| 00:05:40 | As well as being a living
legend and known for his
signature mustangs, carroll's
history also includes his
factory boss 302 race team
back in 1969.
|
| 00:05:51 | >> Forty years later, here we
are with another boss, and I'm
tellin' you, I drove it the
other day, I rode around the
test track with the guys, and
it's going to be a sensational
car, in my opinion.
|
| 00:06:03 | >> ( engine starts, revs )
>> S to see
something that's going to really
give the competition
a good dose of medicine.
|
| 00:06:20 | This car is going to be
sensational when it gets
to the marketplace.
|
| 00:06:24 | It's gonna set a standard
for ford.
|
| 00:06:26 | >>And finally, with all the
track hours logged and the
testing complete, ford can
share its brand-new boss 302
with the rest of the world.
|
| 00:06:36 | >> This is gonna set the
competition back.
|
| 00:06:38 | They're not expecting this.

|
| 00:09:20 | >>Once again, ford has traveled
back to the source to unveil
the new boss.
|
| 00:09:24 | Laguna seca had a hand in
creating the iconography,
so it only seemed appropriate
that the rest of the world
should witness the debut on
what can only be deemeded ground.
|
| 00:09:35 | And after proving to themselves
that this modern interpretation
does indeed live up to the
legacy of the original, ford
is finally ready to drive
the new boss 302 into
the spotlight.
|
| 00:09:46 | >> It was really, really
important that as we developed
this vehicle, we wanted to makere that it
lived up
to the original.
|
| 00:09:55 | Every time we would review this
in our product meetings and we'd
talk about the boss, it got
very quiet in the room,
very quiet, because you're
dealing with history here,
and an icon.
|
| 00:10:08 | >>And in this case, you're
dealing with not one
but two icons.
|
| 00:10:13 | >> I don't think there's
a professional driver in the
history of american road racing
that captured the spirit of the
company in that time better
than parnelli jones.
|
| 00:10:27 | He made the boss what it was.
|
| 00:10:29 | >> ( cheers, applause )
>> Ladies and gentlemen, very
simply, the boss is back.
|
| 00:10:47 | >> I'm gonna take the next few
minutes to walk you through what
really makes this car worthy
of wearing the boss name.
|
| 00:10:53 | Because while they look cool,
they'rereallycool underneath.
|
| 00:10:57 | We all know that the boss is all
about pure performance.
|
| 00:11:00 | At the heart of the performance
is the engine.
|
| 00:11:03 | The boss engine had to be
unique, so only available
in a boss.
|
| 00:11:09 | It also had to be
a free-breathing, high-revving
engine, and that's exactly
what we've done.
|
| 00:11:17 | >>But that's not all
they've done.
|
| 00:11:19 | >> We figured, "how do you take
this car and amp it up
"
the answer was yes,
and that's what this is.
|
| 00:11:26 | This is our laguna seca package.
|
| 00:11:28 | So this takes everything that
I just mentioned on the boss
and brings it up
one more notch.
|
| 00:11:34 | This is as close as you're
gonna get to a race car
with a license plate.
|
| 00:11:38 | >> Really, for the laguna seca,
we wanted to amp it up and take
a page out of track cars
and race cars.
|
| 00:11:44 | We changed it up and we did
race-red graphics on either
a black or silver car, and the
reason for this is just to be
kind of in-your-face, and also
on the race track it looks
fantastic.
|
| 00:11:53 | The red accents, you really
notice it when the car's
coming at you.
|
| 00:11:56 | The rear seat delete on the
laguna as well is something that
we are saving weight with
and having a structural cross-
member back there that gives you
torsional stiffness.
|
| 00:12:05 | Really it's all about
being a driver's car.
|
| 00:12:09 | >>And the hits just
keep on coming.
|
| 00:12:11 | >> One of the best features
about this boss 302 is what we
call a track key.
|
| 00:12:17 | So when you get your boss,
you've got two different keys;
this would be the normal key,
the one marked in red
is the track key.
|
| 00:12:23 | It's gonna disable skip shift,
it's gonna enable launch
control, it's also gonna give
you a lopey idle, it sounds like
the thing's got a racing cam
instantly installed in it,
and it basically brings
THE BOSS 302R's CALIBRATION
From the race track into
your street machine.
|
| 00:12:40 | Industry first--
never done before.
|
| 00:12:43 | >> ( starts engine )
>> ( low-pitched revving )
>>And that throaty growl
won't only put a smile on your
face, but also conjures up
THE BOSS 302's HERITAGE LIKE
A welcome voice from the past.
|
| 00:13:05 | >> It's one bad-ass ride.
|
| 00:13:06 | I think it's awesome, and it
looks like a modern day boss.
|
| 00:13:10 | >> Jones: This car is a real
complete package, obviously
a fun car to d
anybody that has any little race
in 'em would certainly love
to be part of this car.
|
| 00:13:20 | >>The new boss recalls
the glory days of the mustang,
but ups the ante with a heavy
dose of new technology and
track-ready adrenaline.
|
| 00:13:28 | >> We're lucky at ford, because
have heritage and tradition
and history to kind of
guide us.
|
| 00:13:32 | When you look at this car and
you see that it's just so true
to 1970, yet it's a part of the
future, it just--you can't put
it in words, it's just--
it's a boss.
|
| 00:13:56 | >> The boss 302 makes an average
driver a good driver and feel
like a great driver, and
a great driver really
appreciate the line.
|
| 00:14:03 | This is a track car
with a license plate.
|
| 00:14:05 | >>And this track car is already
headed to a track near you,
thanks to the dedicated team
at the ford plant in flat rock.
|
| 00:14:12 | >> The boss 302 was born here
in flat rock, michigan.
|
| 00:14:16 | The best thing about building
the boss 302 is we do it all
right here, start to finish.
|
| 00:14:21 | There's a lot of pride --
and pressure -- of building
a vehicle after forty years,
and this workforce is gonna get it right.
|
| 00:14:32 | >> The boss is more than
the sum of its parts.
|
| 00:14:34 | We can sit here and talk about
all the technical points of the
vehicle and how everybody said,
"you've done it right, you put
all the right things in there,"
but what they do not understand
is how awesome all of it
comes together and performs
in one vehicle.
|
| 00:14:43 | No matter who I put in this car,
they've all said they've never
been in a car like it.
|
| 00:14:48 | It absolutely is over-the-top.
|
| 00:14:52 | >>That's right.
|
| 00:14:53 | The boss is definitely back.
|
| 00:14:55 | The road may have been long
and arduous, but through
perseverance, craftsmanship,
innovation, and an unwavering
ford has successfully brought
a piece of automotive history
into the future.
|
| 00:15:44 | >>> In australia, we welcome
you
in melbourne, victoria, the
place to be.
|
| 00:15:49 | And you have to say on a
beautiful afternoon here with
the waves crashing in from back
straight, onto phillip island,
we are at round one of 13 of
2010.
|
| 00:16:01 | A new decade.
|
| 00:16:02 | A new era for world superbikes.
|
| 00:16:05 | The world champion has moved
on.
|
| 00:16:08 | Now, it's anybody's game.
|
| 00:16:12 | There are possibly 13
potential world champions.
|
| 00:16:15 | I do mean 13.
|
| 00:16:16 | We've already got 13 race
winners.
|
| 00:16:22 | Here's the calendar.
|
| 00:16:23 | Starting in australia, we head
to portugal next.
|
| 00:16:28 | And we're once again four
continents.
|
| 00:16:34 | We head back to silverton, the
famous home of british motor
sports in great britain for
august, and then we end in the
traditional champagne, the wild
valley in france.
|
| 00:16:46 | That's in october.
|
| 00:16:47 | That seems a long, long way
away
from what we have in front of
us
we are down under, but who is
going to get on top of the
situation?
|
| 00:16:59 | And I do believe steve martin,
alongside me, that phillip
island could prove crucial in
terms of the psychological edge
when we know it's going to be
open and we know there's going
to be so many different winners
and different podium races this
year.
|
| 00:17:13 | >> Yeah, definitely.
|
| 00:17:13 | Really, have no idea as we have
a look at the circuit.
|
| 00:17:18 | There is phillip island.
|
| 00:17:18 | This circuit is very
temperature
sensitive.
|
| 00:17:21 | 4
kilometers long.
|
| 00:17:26 | The reason why that has not
been
broken is because the surface
is
getting a little bumpier
throughout the time.
|
| 00:17:33 | And very temperature
depend.
|
| 00:17:34 | In the first race this morning,
you could see the temperatures
dip down.
|
| 00:17:39 | It looks like they will be
running this race tire.
|
| 00:17:41 | And you can see the track
temperatures there at 18
degrees, 25 degrees track.
|
| 00:17:47 | And that is in perfect
conditions to get in the lap
breaks.
|
| 00:17:54 | >> Here's the great team from
the side.
|
| 00:17:58 | They have been quit on that
perimeter.
|
| 00:18:06 | With toseland, making
out the second row.
|
| 00:18:12 | Third row, lanzi, haca,
biacci.
|
| 00:18:16 | And corser in the two.
|
| 00:18:22 | Vermeulo.
|
| 00:18:26 | Andrew pitt, returning world
champion is back on the world
superbikes.
|
| 00:18:30 | He's on the bmw.
|
| 00:18:31 | We'll tell you more about that
a
little bit later.
|
| 00:18:35 | Rubin not taking part
in the race.

and we are great to have steve
martin with you.
|
| 00:18:54 | Back here with solid racing.
|
| 00:18:56 | >> Yes, pretty much.
|
| 00:18:57 | A lot of opportunities for them
here
and to get into the leading
group.
|
| 00:19:02 | If you lose the leading groups
here, you'll get yourself into
all sorts of trouble.
|
| 00:19:08 | With these tires, they are
going
to last only half before they
start to spin up.

| 00:23:00 | You don't want to make it too
fast where he doesn't want to
have 20 guys.
|
| 00:23:05 | They want to get that group
down
to about four guys.
|
| 00:23:08 | Down four for the moment.
|
| 00:23:09 | >> And the lap one for the
first
corner here.
|
| 00:23:14 | First corner.
|
| 00:23:15 | And then in the middle of
the field.
|
| 00:23:17 | The first lap completed.
|
| 00:23:20 | >> The last thing that you want
is this top group to go out
there from the moment.
|
| 00:23:29 | 220K's the other day.
|
| 00:23:30 | >> Haga passes his teammate,
fabrizio.
|
| 00:23:34 | You can't hold that off there
and slight damage out there.
|
| 00:23:43 | But he's in second place and
chasing him now who is pulling
away in the front.
|
| 00:23:47 | Just slightly with 21 to go.
|
| 00:23:50 | >> Suzuki looking very smooth.
|
| 00:23:51 | You can see them using a lot
more row on the background.
|
| 00:23:55 | >> He's on the honda.
|
| 00:23:57 | >> And he's doing a great job.
|
| 00:23:59 | Just remember, this is his
first time racing with these
guys.
|
| 00:24:03 | Rea got a bit of the taste for
the year before.
|
| 00:24:07 | And this is him making his
debut in fifth position.
|
| 00:24:12 | >> Out of siberia, again, away,
on the kawasaki with suzuki out
there, stretching the lead just
slightly.
|
| 00:24:23 | Haga will go overseeing all of
them.
|
| 00:24:26 | >> Suzuki looking good here.
|
| 00:24:27 | Not moving around a lot.
|
| 00:24:28 | That's very good.
|
| 00:24:31 | >> And after all the practices.
|
| 00:24:33 | A very clean start.
|
| 00:24:34 | >> Yeah, that is a clean start.
|
| 00:24:35 | And that is for sure.
|
| 00:24:37 | Especially for the guys out
there and james.
|
| 00:24:40 | >> Getting on the warmup.
|
| 00:24:42 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:24:42 | I mean, there's a lot of sore
body jamming there as you look
for them.
|
| 00:24:48 | >> Crossing theline, out on
half.
|
| 00:24:53 | 32 the
fastest lap.
|
| 00:24:57 | Half a second on haga.
|
| 00:24:59 | >> Just to fill you in, 295k's
dune there to compare -- down
there compared to 316.
|
| 00:25:13 | >> Yes, absolutely
unbelievable.
|
| 00:25:15 | And there are the other two
in the back of your screen.
|
| 00:25:18 | >> No real surprises there at
the start of this race.
|
| 00:25:22 | Biaggi in the top ten.
|
| 00:25:24 | Camier behind him.
|
| 00:25:27 | And here comes the two teams
who
are on it.
|
| 00:25:31 | >> Yeah, rea just falling back
a
little bit.
|
| 00:25:37 | >> Keep an eye on 1:32.
|
| 00:25:41 | They can't let haslam get away.
|
| 00:25:42 | And he is getting away just
slightly.
|
| 00:25:45 | >> Not in his first race.
|
| 00:25:47 | And especially he is from
halfway forward.
|
| 00:25:52 | With sort of a nice
chance there and the engine
power is so smooth and easy
going.
|
| 00:25:57 | That's what looks after the
tires.
|
| 00:25:59 | >> Oh no.
|
| 00:26:02 | >> Is that charlie?
|
| 00:26:07 | >> You know what, coming up,
toseland goes down.
|
| 00:26:13 | >> Not moving.
|
| 00:26:14 | Let's hope he's okay.
|
| 00:26:16 | But he's down hard.
|
| 00:26:16 | That could actually bring out a
red flag.
|
| 00:26:19 | >> At some point there.
|
| 00:26:21 | Ce continues.
|
| 00:26:22 | Having them up the front.
|
| 00:26:25 | And the tw
seconds.

honda.
|
| 00:28:42 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:28:42 | We'll take a look at edwards.
|
| 00:28:45 | >> And that is the kawasaki.
|
| 00:28:47 | >> Oh no
>> and it is vermeulen.
|
| 00:28:51 | >> Yes.
|
| 00:28:52 | >> Waiting for vermeulen to
come
back, ending the honda on the
kawasaki.
|
| 00:28:56 | >> To get the bike up, it looks
like he lost his front end
there
or something.
|
| 00:29:03 | But in the meantime,
knows that he has the
front
