The six-speed features rev-matching on downshifts.
There’s no automatic available, which is right and proper.
#LAUNCHCONTROL MUSTANG MANUAL#
It’ll put a smile on your face.īehind the Bullitt’s V8 engine is a six-speed manual transmission. It sounds great, and Ford engineers told Digital Trends they gave a little more grumble to the Bullitt. Though, one feature to mention is the active exhaust, which de-baffles itself based on how you’re driving. That’s about it for performance differences with the Mustang GT. Honestly, when you’re pulling into a grocery store parking space, a throttle blip makes you sound like a moron. Torque is the same at 420 pound-feet, so you’ll find those 20 horses all above 7,000 rpm. Put it all together and you get a 20-horsepower bump over the GT’s 460 horses. The engineers also reworked the engine control mapping. The Bullitt carries the same 5.0-liter engine as the GT but it’s upgraded with a cold air intake system, an upsized 87mm throttle body, and an intake manifold borrowed from the GT350. The Mustang Bullitt is above all a performance car based on the Mustang GT.

Finally, one last Bullitt touch is that the shift knob is a white ball modeled after the original movie car. There are also toggles for various functions like driving modes and the hazard lights. You can use the touch screen if you prefer. The Bullitt also comes with a pair of gauges up on the dash to display oil pressure, which is handy and reassuring, and intake manifold vacuum, which is fundamentally useless information but still strangely interesting.ĭown on the center stack, Ford gets points for keeping it real because you get analog audio and climate controls. It’s even got a G-force monitor and a nifty display of air intake temperatures, air-fuel ratio, and related data. It shows turn-by-turn navigation instructions, infotainment information, and everything else the car can possibly tell you. This is fully configurable and its design changes when you cycle between the various driving modes. The Bullitt also comes with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. It takes a lot of volume to hear anything over the engine, anyway. Really, either infotainment option is good. Optionally, you can choose the Bullitt electronics package for $2,100 and that gets you the 12-speaker B&O Play sound system with navigation, CD player, and HD Radio.

It’s got SYNC 3 with voice control, Bluetooth, USB input, AM/FM, satellite radio, and support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The basic stereo is a nine-speaker unit shared with the premium trims on all Mustangs. The Bullitt offers several infotainment options to choose from. It’s a good place to put your backpack, though. However, the back seat is mostly vestigial, and we didn’t even try to climb back there and sit down.
Technically speaking, the Bullitt is a four-seater. You’re sure to have a strong preference one way or the other. With that in mind, we recommend you test both seat options before you make your decision. It will do 0-60 in about 4.1 seconds – depending on how good you are with the clutch. They’re also heated and ventilated for additional comfort.

They’re super comfortable, with full eight-way power adjustment and power lumbar support. The Bullitt comes standard with regular Mustang GT seats upholstered in black leather with green contrast stitching. There are only three options on this year’s Bullitt, and one of them is the seats. The Mustang Bullitt starts at $47,590, and you can spend up to $52,980 if you choose every option. The Bullitt delivers 480 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from a 5.0-liter V8, so it’s comparable to the Challenger T/A 392 (485/475) or the Camaro SS (455/455) but not the Hellcat variants or the ZL1.
In this generation, that honor still goes to the GT350– at least until the Shelby GT500 arrives. It won’t run alongside the top performance models because the Bullitt is not the most powerful Mustang you can buy. The Mustang Bullitt obviously competes with the rest of the modern pony car contenders: the Chevrolet Camaro SS and the Dodge Challenger.
