[h=1]ACTION! FORD DEALERS BRACE FOR SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER AS ORDER BANKS OPEN FOR EXCLUSIVE 480-HORSEPOWER MUSTANG BULLITT[/h]
DEARBORN, Mich., March 29, 2018 – Like the 1968 hit movie “Bullitt,” Ford dealerships across America are bracing for a late summer blockbuster as orders have officially begun for the limited-edition 480-horsepower 2019 Mustang Bullitt.

The iconic 2019 Mustang Bullitt traces its roots to the legendary Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT fastback Steve McQueen thrashed in the action thriller “Bullitt” 50 years ago. Complete with classic cue ball shifter, the 2019 Bullitt bundles the latest Mustang GT Premium and Performance Package content in a sleek, understated design – while packing a hefty punch.

The new Mustang Bullitt delivers even more power, thanks to its performance open air intake, Mustang Shelby GT350 intake manifold, plus a larger 87-millimeter throttle body and unique powertrain control module calibrations delivering 480 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque* and deliver a top speed of 163 mph – an 8 mph increase versus the latest Mustang GT. A fully active black NitroPlate[SUP]™[/SUP] quad-tip exhaust comes standard.

Bullitt customers have two color choices – Shadow Black and classic Dark Highland Green. Appointments include subtle chrome accents for the unique black grille and front windows, classic torque-thrust 19-inch aluminum wheels and red-painted Brembo[SUP]™[/SUP] brakes.

There’s minimal badging inside and out. All that’s visible on the exterior is the circular faux gas cap Bullitt logo at the rear center. A leather-trimmed interior features unique accent stitching in green on the dashboard, door panels, center console and seats.

“The new Bullitt will be every bit as cool and charismatic as the original ’68 Mustang,” said Corey Holter, Ford car group marketing manager. “Since its introduction earlier this year, Ford dealers have been fielding calls from customers wanting to know when they can order this unique piece of automotive history.”

You can still get a Mustang cheap, but if you want the special versions or performance versions
your going to pay for them, true across the car spectrum. The bullitt is true to form, clean
none assuming with great performance goodies. no Blue, only Black and Green so far.
 
Still blows my mind that factory horsepower numbers are 450hp+, not to mention that you can order Brembo brakes, Recaro seats, Magneride suspension and Active Exhaust from the manufacturer. Never mind that the Ecoboost equipped base Mustang is putting out 10hp more than the 4.6L GT from 10 years back.

How ever you cut it, with the number of different performance models available, theres something for everyone, and its a great time to be a performance car enthusiast. Forget about the late 60's and early 70's being the golden age, we're living it right now. lol

I believe the 2008 & 2009 was only available in Highland Green and Black.

your 100% right, car wars are in full tilt mode.
Which for us car nuts, makes it a great time to be alive.
Bang for buck is incredible. Factory cars with 400 plus HP
are becoming common place.
I love it :)
 
I am old enough to remember the dark days in the mid 70s till mid eighties. The 77 Mustang II Cobra 5.0 had a measly 130 HP. Now the 2.3 Eco-boost in Mustang has 325, and V8s from 460 up to 700 plus HP. We are living in the Glory Age for car guys.
 
Read this already, interesting article on Bullitt.
Very cool and quite stout. As per normal with Bullitt.
Quiet looking, with hidden goodies those who don't know will
be surprised by this car.
