Almost no movie vehicle is more iconic than the Mustang that Steve McQueen races through the streets of San Francisco in “Bullitt.” If you’ve always dreamed of driving around town in this famous automobile, you’re in luck, because Ford has released a refreshed version of the classic Bullitt Mustang that revives the spirit of McQueen, while providing modern features and performance. Learn a little more about the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt and find out why you’re going to have a great time driving this legendary sports car.
Iconic Styling
Exterior style is the main reason that the Bullitt Mustang has captured the imaginations of moviegoers for decades. On the newest version of this automobile, you’ll find several features inspired by the movie model, along with new features that you would expect from a modern sports car.
For starters, the Bullitt comes standard with a Highland Green paint job, providing a bold appearance that would make Steve McQueen proud. The decklid spoiler has been removed from this Mustang, which gives it a slightly sleeker look than other models in the lineup. The front grille lacks the Pony badge you’ll find on other Mustangs, creating a very aggressive look. On the back end, you’ll find a dual exhaust with black-finished quad tips.
Bullitt Performance Features
In addition to legendary styling, the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt offers exceptional performance features that will have you dreaming of car chases through the rolling San Francisco hills. The 2019 Bullitt comes standard with an exhilarating V-8 engine that is rated for 480 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, making you feel like a movie star every time you get behind the wheel.
On top of superb engine power, the Bullitt Mustang includes several other performance features that give you better control over your car. Electric power-assist steering with selectable effort makes hugging tight turns a breeze, and selectable drive modes allow you to optimize your vehicle’s performance for current driving conditions. You can also add an available launch control system to your Mustang if you plan to spend time on the track.
Modern Mustang Equipment
Just because the 2019 Bullitt Mustang is inspired by a historic vehicle, it doesn’t mean that drivers have to sacrifice modern conveniences. For instance, a standard 12-inch digital instrument cluster makes it easier to find important information about your Mustang’s performance, and a standard heated steering wheel makes going for a cold-weather drive a lot more comfortable.
If you want to listen to the “Bullitt” soundtrack while driving your Bullitt Mustang, you can get excellent sound quality with the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system. You’ll also have the option of adding intelligent safety features to your Mustang, such as a blind-spot information system. Standard safety features include a driver’s knee airbag, a post-crash alert system, and electronic stability control.
The 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt is a world-class vehicle that you’ll want to experience in person. Visit your local Ford dealership today, and you won’t be able to resist taking this model home with you and drive like Steve McQueen every day.
