Concept Mustang
(updated Nov 2000)
We had a chance to see the
latest version of Team Mustang's Bullitt Concept at the Bright Light
City Cruise in Las Vegas. Team Mustang brought the car to get
some feedback. We had a chance to talk with several members of
Team Mustang about this new car.
The styling reminiscent of the
1968 Mustang GT in the famous chase scene from the movie
'Bullitt'. There are several unique signature looks to the
Bullitt Mustang. There are 'Bullitt' badges in various places to
include the rear deck. We also find aluminum sill plates in the doors
sporting the Bullitt badge. Aluminum pedals are up front (which Art
Hyde of Team Mustang describes as some of the best Toe-Heel action he
has ever felt) along with retro-styled gauge faces and there is an
aluminum filler door for the gas tank. The interior leather has
the vertical stitching reminiscent of the 60's. The wheels are
the 2001 Premium wheels which are now available currently on any 2001
Mustang. The brakes on the Bullitt are Cobra brakes. They
have been painted red for styling sporting the running Pony.
The performance has been
enhanced as well. Look for numbers around 275HP compared to the
stock rated power of 260HP. This is achieved from a high flow
intake and freer flowing exhaust system. Actual HP numbers will
be interesting to see once this car makes it to production.
We feel there is a good chance that this car will make it to production early next year. Look for the Bullitt Mustang to be officially announced at this January's Detroit Auto Show! In the meantime, get down to your local dealers and tell them you want to see the Bullitt...
