For the last 20-odd years, there has been no more reliable special edition Mustang than the Bullitt. Low effort, high reward. Every automaker’s dream. But talking to members of the team that made the latest edition, the 2019 Bullitt, it’s clear that this is anything but a cash grab. And after driving it through the streets of San Francisco, it’s also clear that the car reflects that.

You can now order the limited edition, 480-horsepower 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt.

The 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt has made its debut in Detroit, reviving the iconic model variant with a 475 horsepower 5.0-liter V8 and menacing exterior looks.

Spring has sprung and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for the wildly wealthy to spend a little dough at automotive auctions. 

A user on an AutoGuide.com forum claims it’s the real deal.

Starring Steve McQueen, the Ford Mustang, the Dodge Charger, as well as the hilly streets of San Francisco as the backdrop for the chase, Columbia University professor Emanuel Levy praised, “Bullitt contains one of the most exciting car chases in film history, a sequence that revolutionized Hollywood’s standards.”

Since then, many filmmakers have used Bullitt as a benchmark, applying its techniques to produce car chase sequences of their own. However, no director has attempted to re-create the complete Bullitt sequence again –  until now.

For the season finale of Alcatraz, Detective Madsen stops and requisitions a Deep Impact Blue 2013 Mustang GT coupe and chases down a black Dodge Charger that is driven by her convict grandfather. Symmetry to the original Bullitt play throughout the chase, including scenes of the Mustang’s appearance in the Charger’s rearview mirror, the driver in the black Charger clipping the seatbelt, the iconic reverse burnout, the hill hops, as well as the old Volkswagen Beetle that makes multiple and non-linear appearances.

Check out the entire chase sequence from the season finale of Alcatraz below. 

Lost fans might be a little disappointed in the new Alcatraz TV show, but it appears that the season finale will have a lot more excitement to it. 

Up on eBay for sale right now is actor/comedian Tim Allen’s Ford Mustang. Naturally this isn’t any standard Ford Mustang but a limited edition Bullitt from 2008. Bullitt-rendition Mustangs have been made available for several generations now, with this 2008 featuring 15-hp more than the factory GT model.
