This Might Actually Be The 2018 Ford Mustang Bullitt
The showdown between a green Ford Mustang GT Fastback and a black Dodge Charger in the Bullitt remains one of - if not the - greatest car chases ever seen on film. Tyre smoke, massive jumps, wayward hubcaps - the scene had it all.
So, a limited-edition Mustang celebrating that 1968 Fastback - the car piloted by Lt. Frank Bullitt, portrayed by Steve McQueen - based on the current car would be awesome, no? One has indeed been rumoured for some time, with a design sketch’s appearance in the background of a Ford promo fueling speculation. Now, we’ve had another strong hint that the car is actually happening.
A member of the Mustang6G forum posted up this image, which purports to show a Bullitt-edition Mustang being filmed for an advert in Chicago.
It certainly looks like the real deal: even with the subject blurry and under artificial light, we can be pretty sure the paintwork is intended to echo the original’s ‘Highland Green’ hue. The black and chrome wheels look right, too.
Should this all be going ahead, a Detroit Auto Show debut seems likely. For now, we’ll have to just keep ourselves going by re-watching that amazing car chase…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

It’ll come with a high price tag for what is at end of the day a mustang
Not a fan of green cars, but the bullitt mustang looks awesome in that shade. If it gets released as a special edition, i wonder what the price will be?
Here we see what could be a rare Mustang Bullitt.
That colour is so similar to British Racing Green that it’s not even funny 😂
What if its actually black and aliens want us to think its green #fakenews.
Too bad we won’t see a new black two door charger any time soon probably never will.
It’s not really new: there was already a Bullitt special edition of the Mustang back in 2008
