On Friday Ford announced their ‘Way Foward’ plan in an effort to bolster sluggish sales amid high gas prices and growing foreign competition. Ford president Mark Fields was quoted as saying “We added additional Mustang derivatives to our near-term product plans – to ensure we have at least one new Mustang every year. One of those will be the return of the Bullitt, and it’s coming in 2008.”
What’s that? Suprise? Maybe not… Ford hinted to bringing the Bullitt back as early as 2005, making for great timing as the 40th anniversary of Steve McQueen’s 1968 Film ‘Bullit’ is just over the horizon. In fact, Motor Trend actually said it would happen… definately. I suppose they were right.
What can you expect from the 2008 Bullitt? Most likely features similar to some of the other special edition Mustangs for 2006 and 2007, like the California Special and Stampede… mostly appearance improvements (hint: no GT foglights - remember the Mustang in the mirror scene?) and mild intake and exhaust improvements, most likely from the FRPP catalog.
