The current 2018 Mustang Bullitt gets the same Dark Highland Green paint, 19-inch aluminium wheel in a gunmetal colour, red painted brake callipers, and a black front grille. On the back, the Bullitt's standard petrol cap has been replaced with the original Bullitt's false one which shows how important that model was.

DETROIT: Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Steve McQueen's classic film "Bullitt," Ford Motor Company delivered global debut for the third-generation, limited-edition Mustang Bullitt at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show.
The new Ford Mustang Bullitt, due out this summer for Fordcustomers in the US, is powered by an upgraded 5.0-litre V8 engine that will deliver at least 481PS and 569Nm of torque, pushing the limited edition to a top speed of 262kmph.
The original 1968 Mustang GT fastback that starred alongside Steve McQueen in the award-winning movie "Bullitt", also drove onto the Ford stage at NAIAS, ending a 40-year mystery about the film car's whereabouts.
The all-new Mustang Bullitt is equipped with a manual transmission, and the gear shifter features a white cue ball shift knob as a nod to the original. An active valve performance exhaust system is standard and re-tuned to give the car a signature burble.
Other standard equipment includes a 12-inch all-digital LCD instrument cluster, identical in function to the cluster introduced on the all-new Mustang that goes on sale across Europe later this year, but with a unique Bullitt welcome screen that starts in green with an image of the car rather than the pony.
Exterior paint choices are limited to Shadow Black and the classic Dark Highland Green - as worn in the movie. Other features that pay tribute to the car McQueen drove are subtle chrome accents around the grille and front windows, and classic torque thrust 19-inch aluminium wheels. Inside and out, the vehicle uses minimal badging; only the circular faux fuel-filler cap Bullitt logo on the rear centre is visible on the exterior.
Besides the limited edition Mustang, Ford introduced its first performance SUV Edge ST at the show, which is tuned by the Ford Performance team.
Offered only for the customers in the US, the all-new Edge ST is the first version of the new Edge SUV to be unveiled by Ford. The new Ford Edge will be introduced for customers in Europe later this year, offering powerful new 2.7-litre, V6, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine delivering 340PS and 515Nm of torque.
