Ford this week launched a limited edition Mustang Bullitt at the Detroit Auto Show 2018, to tie-in with the 50th anniversary of a Steve McQueen film that shares the same name, in which he drove the original 1968 Mustang GT Fastback.<\/p>\n

The third-generation vehicle is without stripes, spoilers or badges, like its predecessors. Previous versions were sold in 2001 and 2008.<\/p>\n

The special edition vehicle is due out in the summer, and will be available only in Shadow Black or Dark Highland Green. It boasts a 5-litre V-8 engine that packs at least 475 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. It tops out at 163 miles per hour (262 km).<\/p>\n

The only transmission offered will be a manual 6-speed. “The gear shifter will feature a cue ball shift knob; a nod to the original,” Ford said.<\/p>\n
