"How is the Boss 302 portrayed in the rendering we have here an outlaw?" one might ask. Well, especially in customization communities, the term defines all-out mods that make many aficionados point their finger at a project. And, the more you zoom in on this pixel portrait, the more you realize it fits the description.
The original Boss 302, which was only produced for the 1969 and 1970 model years, came with a unique 302ci (5.0L) engine. This model was part of the Blue Oval's offensive to turn the pony car into a proper bad boy, so it could give rivals like the Camaro a hard time, so why was the big block missing?
Well, the machine was born for the SCCA's 1969 Trans-Am road racing series, which capped engine displacement at the said value. Of course, no-replacement-for-displacement followers could always aim for the Boss 429 Mustang, whose NASCAR origins allowed the muscle monster to pack a 429ci (7.0L) V8.
However, the example in this rendering, which is based on the 1970 model, does away with all that, adding a blower with a generously-sized hat. Of course, that would be the least of a purist's problems - the oil cooler hanging above the massive air dam is guaranteed to split opinions. And no, you’re not the only one thinking of the Bosozoku Japanese tuning subculture when gazing at the ‘Stang portrayed in this 2D rendering – we must thank digital artist David B for these pixels.
And we can say the same about the fat arches of the machine, as well as about the modern diffuser appearing to hang below the chrome rear bumper.
Other eye-catching features comes from the not-small side exhaust and the Cyberpunk-grade LED lighting found across the vehicle.
As for the hardware that sits in the luggage compartment (and then some), perhaps Doc Brown and Marty McFly wanted to trade that DeLorean for some other piece of American automotive history...
