About the Ford Mustang Bullitt S550
Released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1968 film Bullitt, the S550-generation Bullitt is a performance-oriented tribute to Steve McQueen's iconic Dark Highland Green fastback. It features a modified 'Coyote' V8 utilizing the Shelby GT350's intake manifold and a larger 87mm throttle body to produce 480 hp in US specification. The car is distinguished by its badge-less mesh grille, 19-inch Torq-Thrust style wheels, and a signature cue-ball gear shifter. It offers a more focused driving experience than the standard GT, bridging the gap between the base V8 and the Shelby models.
