There are things you just don't do to a Ford Mustang. These include swapping in an LS, using a four-cylinder, and making it look like a "ricer." But all those things have happened already, so we have to look for the next big source of outrage, which we think is a twin-turbo system in a Boss 302.
Supercharging is pretty normal on American V8s, but turbocharging isn't. At the beginning of the 1960s, the Chevrolet Corvair Monza and the Oldsmobile Jetfire were the first turbo-powered passenger cars. It didn't catch on, but eventually, the word "turbo" became cool, especially thanks to motorsport. Nowadays, turbocharging engines is viewed as a means of reducing fuel consumption. While an EcoBoost Mustang is efficient, it probably wouldn't make 310 horsepower without forced induction.
This rendering by artist Rostislav Prokop is way cooler than any EcoBoost, though. It starts out with the 1969 Mustang Boss 302, the kind of classic you want to leave completely untouched because it's so cool and valuable. But because everything is acceptable and possible in the digital world, we get a widebody transformation.
Under the bright yellow paint, a much wider set of fenders appears. The Mustang also sports a deeper chin and even a NASCAR-like spoiler at the back. Rostislav even took the time to create an intricate interior, complete with a full roll cage, so it's not surprising his posts are getting likes on Instagram this month.
Nobody is ever going to do a twin-turbo setup like this in a classic Ford pony, right? Don't be so sure, as about a year ago we featured this 1969 Mustang with just the right forced induction. Sure, it wasn't a Boss 302, but it came with a widebody and even a JDM-style wing.
Earlier today, we got to witness an upside-down version of this purist offender. It used a modern S550 with the ultra-wide Shirokai body kit and a gigantic blower sticking out through the hood. It looked like a new Mustang had been converted for drag racing in the 1980s.
