In the Boss, Ford's 5.0-liter V8 will be capable of producing 440 horsepower, a big jump from the already plentiful 412 horsepower in the Mustang GT.
A new intake system, camshafts and more aggressive valve timing all help produce the horsepower boost.
Even with the power upgrades, Ford promises the engine will still be amiable in around-town driving. There will be only one transmission available for this car, a six speed manual.
