The 2001 Bullitt features exterior enhancements that
visually and emotionally connect it to the 1968 fastback from the film.
These modifications include unique side scoops, 17-inch Bullitt-style
aluminum wheels and a lowered suspension. The C-pillars and quarter
panel molding have been modified to create a unique look. Rocker-panel
moldings enhance the low-to-the-ground appearance. A bold, brushed aluminum
fuel filler door is prominently placed on the quarter panel. Bullitt badging
and polished-rolled tailpipe tips further distinguish the car. Bullitt is
available in Dark Highland Green, True Blue and Black.
The heart of Bullitt GT is a 4.6L SOHC V-8 modified to improve
airflow. It produces at least 270 horsepower and significantly more torque
than the Mustang GT engine. Modifications include:
· Twin 57mm bore throttle body
· Cast aluminum intake manifold
· High flow mufflers for increased power and aggressive performance sound
· Optimized alternator and pump pulley ratios
Bullitt's suspension translates this power into crisp road manners.
The vehicle is lowered three-fourths of an inch to generate a firmer,
better-balanced ride and improved handling characteristics. The
performance-handling package includes:
· Re-valved Tokico struts and shocks
· Unique stabilizer bars (front and rear)
· Frame rail connectors
Thirteen-inch Brembo front rotors and performance calipers provide
excellent stopping capability. The calipers are painted red and are visible
through the 17-inch wheel spokes when the car is parked.
