To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the classic Steve McQueen movie, Bullitt, Ford has actually brought the 1968 Mustang that McQueen drove in that movie here to the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Pretty cool stuff, huh? Oh, and there's one of these. If you're a Mustang fan, you know that Ford periodically brings out Bullitt editions of the car to commemorate that vehicle, and that's gonna happen again here. This is a 2019 Mustang Bullitt based on the refreshed 2018 Mustang with some very interesting changes. Now, first of all, you get unique paint here. This is a dark green. You can also get Shadow Black, Dark Highland Green, I should say. Unique wheels here. Unique badging. Speaking of badging, you get around to the inside of the car there's a unique Bullitt badging on the steering wheel. Check out that cue ball shifter. Now that recalls the 1968 Mustang Bullitt. You get Recaro seats here with unique green stitching. A little bit of extra power under the hood. Thanks to some airflow improvements Ford promises about 475 horsepower, 420 pounds-feet of torque. That's a slight horsepower bump versus the regular Mustang GT. Now the Bullitt will come only with a V8 engine and a manual transmission when it goes on sale in limited quantities this summer. There's just gonna be a limited production run. Stay tuned for plenty more. Ford says that you can start ordering the car in March.
