2008 Bullitt - Highlights

• Highland Green paint (also available in black.)

• Standard Mustang GT front and rear fascia

• New black-mesh grille is devoid of the standard chrome pony and is accented by a satin aluminum strip that represents

the chrome grille surrounding the 1968 Mustang GT in the movie

• Unique 3.5-inch dual exhaust tips

• Dark Argent Gray painted brake calipers closely match the wheel spokes, while staying true to the original 1968 car

• Unique cast-aluminum Euroflange wheels offer a modern twist to the original movie car

• Original 1968 charcoal satin wheel finish

• Dressed in Charcoal Black leather and Satin metallic trim

• Engine turn aluminum panel

• Satin aluminum bezels circle the air vents and gauges

• Satin aluminum shift ball replaces standard leather-wrapped shifter in Mustang GT

• Pedals wear race-inspired aluminum covers that further reinforce Bullitt’s performance intentions

• Clean and simple look: only identifying marks visible inside are the logo and “Bullitt” embossed into the metal sill plates

• Dark Charcoal leather seats pick up the diamond perforation inserts from the base Mustang GT

• Seats are patterned after those in the Shelby GT500 providing added lumbar and bolster support

• Seats constructed using new Ford-developed soy-based foam that’s made up of 24 percent renewable

content and emits less CO2 into the atmosphere

• 4.6-liter, 3-valve V8

• 315 horsepower at 6,000 rpm

• 325 pound-feet of torque at 4,250 rpm

• Engine calibration is designed to increase throttle response for a snappier feel on acceleration

• Gears are selected via a Tremac 5-speed manual transmission designed specifically for the 2008 Bullitt

• Features first open-element air filter in a factory-produced, fuel-injected Mustang

• Intake is tucked neatly behind the driver-side headlamp, mounted in an air box that was tooled up specifically for the Mustang

• Hood liner was extensively modified to provide a full seal to the air box ensuring that the engine is fed a steady diet of cool air

• Engine further enhanced by adaptive spark ignition system, new for the 2008 Mustang

• Ford recommends premium fuel for optimum performance, but the adaptive spark ignition will adjust the spark

to burn regular fuel without damaging the engine

• The custom-designed exhaust system continues Mustang’s traditional use of a true dual exhaust system with a new

H-pipe specifically developed for Bullitt

• All-new mufflers featuring larger 3.5-inch chrome tips are tuned to minimize backpressure, maximize horsepower

and provide the Bullitt with its powerful exhaust note.

• The unique live rear axle uses a tall 3.73:1 gear that helps launch the Bullitt with vigor

• Stock Mustang GT shocks and struts were swapped out for new units that allowed engineers

to dial in a more aggressive driving dynamic while still maintaining outstanding ride and balance

• A tower-to-tower brace, designed specifically for the Bullitt, lends additional torsional and

lateral stiffness to the chassis for improved cornering

• All-new front brake pads were developed specifically for Bullitt while the rear brake pads come from the GT500
