The limited-edition 2019 Mustang Bullitt's 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 puts out 475 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, a gain of 15 hp over the base Mustang GT. The extra power helps the Mustang coupe reach a top speed of 163 mph, 8 mph faster than the Mustang GT.
The Bullitt Mustang is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, complete with a cue ball shift knob. To capture the burble of the movie car, it also gets an active valve performance exhaust system, with new Nitroplate black exhaust tips. Ford also uses the Shelby GT350's intake manifold with larger throttle bodies, a new open air induction system, and a new calibration for the powertrain control module to not only get that sound, but to scratch out that extra power.
The Bullitt is based on the GT Premium trim level and the Performance package comes standard. The Premium content is mostly comfort and convenience features, but the Performance package items tend to be go-fast goodies. Among those features are six-piston Brembo brakes, a unique front splitter and rear spoiler, a strut tower brace and K-brace, heavy duty front springs, a thicker rear sway bar, a Torsen differential with a 3.73 gear ratio, and a larger radiator. It also includes looser settings for the stability control system and ABS, an aluminum gauge panel, and a gauge pack.
