As expected, Ford has finally unveiled the 2019 Ford Mustang Bul- litt at the Detroit Auto Show. The 2019 Mustang Bullitt celebrates the 50th anniversary of iconic movie “Bullitt” and it does it with the help of an upgraded 5.0-liter V8 engine that will deliver at least 475 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Thanks to the upgrades the new Bullitt has a top speed of 163 mph – an 8 mph increase versus the Mustang GT. The special-edition 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt will arrive this sum- mer with a manual transmission, while the gear shifter features a white cue ball shift knob as a nod to the original. Exterior paint choices are limited to Shadow Black and the classic Dark Highland Green. Other features that pay tribute to the car McQueen drove are subtle chrome accents around the grille and front windows, ret- ro 19-inch aluminum wheels, red painted Brembo brakes, and a unique black front grille. 26
