2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt | Track Test

- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- On the list of most noteworthy Mustangs of all time, the Bullitt surely occupies a sport near the top. Never one to miss out on an opportunity, Ford has twice capitalized on that, with limited edition runs. The original car is still making headlines and attracting crowds, so Ford is back for a 3rd time and we had the chance to drive it at the race track!

I like the fact that John Davis sounds exactly like he did 40 years ago, and that he still has a ton of enthusiasm.
He's like Google or an encyclopedia for cars and trucks. He can tell you stories on all the vehicles he's reported.
I’ve had my 2020 Mustang Bullitt for 11 months now and love it. Plenty of power, handles great and I can honestly say that I have gotten plenty of nice comments on her from people in parking lots.
*After all these years John still has his signiture swagger.. Props to this man!*
This is the best looking mustang in my opinion. Clean and simple
With the PP2 wheels it would be bliss
but the colour is dogshit.
lobster whisperer you’re literally the only person I’ve seen on hundreds of videos and articles that doesn’t like the color. Must suck to have such a shitty opinion.
Facts 🤙
i like this dudes old school review. Gets to the point, and doesn't have a punch-able face like most hipster car reviewers.
I have one and love it, I waited over 9 months from order to delivery, in the UK Ford dealers aren't allowed to charge over list so mine was £47,145 on the road ($61,800 approx), however we only get 452 BHP probably due to some draconian EU directive
Ford has to move the exhaust line when switching to right hand drive. Making it a bit more restrictive, this affected bhp numbers which is why north American or left hand drive variants have slightly higher numbers across the lineup
Dodge should take note, and make a special Vanishing Point edition of the Challenger R/T. That'd be really fun to see, to go against the Mustang Bullitt. Steve McQueen would be proud.
The popularity can largely be credited to its classic style and muscular powertrain, specifically the 6.2L Supercharged Hemi V8 engine that delivers over 700 horsepower. Despite being at the top of its game, it might surprise you to hear that 2023 is the final year of the Hemi-powered Challenger.
The old mustang is more offroad capable than most suv nowadays lol look at that ground clearance
LMAO facts
Super true
Not to mention body-on-frame.
@@MaestroTJS yea I bet most people who want Ferraris don't know you can put a ferrari body on a frame
I saw that and was thinking DANG!
Raise your hand if hearing John Davis‘s signature voice takes you back to your childhood?
Thousands of us grew up watching him on MW.
I am grateful he is still doing this, and I want a 2019 Bullitt the way Mariah Carey wants her 90s body back. 🙏 🤤
That’s such a classic color combo, the wheels with polished lip, and a cue ball manual. Steve McQueen would be like 😁
Very nice and priced right. I'm a Corvette guy but I really like this car. Mustang's have nice lines!
MotorWeek Rules! John Is a legend!!
bet it's alot of fun in the street
I would take a Bullitt over the GT any day. Plus the fact that it comes in manual transmission only is no contest.
Batman what about 18 gt350 or a 19 gt razorback
I think Steve McQueen would like this one
I love my 2016 GT. It's fast, super comfortable on long trips, and you can fit plenty of stuff in the trunk and back seat area for a trip for two to the beach. The gas milage for a V8 is pretty good too. If you like sports cars, it's hard to beat a mustang for everyday livability. Watch out for that depreciation though.
My 2015 performance package gt is awesome. 26mpg cruising. Great handling. Radar cruise control. These new mustangs are crazy though with nearly 500hp stock.
Mustangs manage to look cool when new, but they all look tacky as hell after a few years, aside from the classics.
@@reallyhappenings5597 speak for yourself.
Really Happenings - but if you detail them periodically and do your regular maintenance they’ll look
cool for many years and drive great! It’s the best selling sports car in the world! Check the sss numbers!
We live in a hell of a time for car enthusiasts when 480hp "seems small." The average person would wrap this thing around a tree if they attempted to drive it at or near it's limit.
agreed!
I'm not a big mustang lover, but this thing just looks bad ass. I'll take mine in highland green the way it's supposed to be!
Damn all this guy lost was a little hair? Still looks the same since seeing him as a kid. 👍
Love that color
Motorweek, nearly just as cool as the classics!
At 4.30 the bottom of the dash has a read out showing PRNDS?
This makes the new Mustang even cooler
Still #1 after all these years
The Bullitt Mustang is awesome..
I could listen to the track test all day. Have any footage without voice over it? Would love it!
1:27 Oh that's a glaring error. It's a DOHC, not a pushrod
I didn't hear him say pushrod but if the hate makes you happy keep it up kid.
@@racerxnk are you dumb? OHV means pushrod
@@masterwhopper414 OHV does not mean pushrod, pushrod means pushrod. With an overhead cam you have overhead valves.
Had an 08 Bullitt and I’m seriously thinking about this one. Damn.
wow 47k USD ! that is a helluva lotta money! nice review as usual! I've heard the sport exhaust is more or less straight pipes, that'll delight mustang guys neighbours
Why are you shocked at the price? Pretty normal and expected for this car. Although the Bullitts I've seen purchased are just over $50k. Even a fully loaded Mustang GT can go for $53k. I'm sure there are some incentives and rebates you can find, but MSRP is competitive. I got a brand new Challenger Scat Pack Shaker in 2016 and MSRP was $49,100. Cars are all getting too expensive nowadays. Even a fully loaded Coralla Hatchback can top out around $29k.
@@floridamaddogg I suppose my concept of a mustang is a cost effective sports car, I suppose special editions can be costly, but this isn't that far off a normal GT is it?
@@Kingsoupturbo I see where you are coming from. I have 2 friends that both got brand new GTs. They were both PP1 and the one stickered for $53k. But he wanted the 401a package (digital instrument panel, etc) and BnO stereo, and once you start adding in options, price goes up steeply, but you could find base model GT for high 30s. So I see if you just want a very base model, yeah Mustangs definitely are a bang for buck, but I rarely ever see barebone GTs. Options are nice, lol....from what I've seen, the Bullitt is a Mustang GT with PP1 and other options standard on it along with 20 HP more, and a comparably equipped GT is within $1k. I guess comes down to ones own preference.
Indeed it is. Drops 10 grand the second you leave the Ford dealership, just like any other GT. And no rebates. I'm out.
Now I want a Bullitt Mustang so that I can be like Steve McQueen
reality check wtf he was a great actor
Don't bother you never will be
I wish they would make a Gone in 60 Seconds( H.B. Halicki version) Edition. I believe that movie is very underrated
Love the original gone in 60 just rewatched a little bit ago. Wish he got to finish the second one
@@Roadhouse1997 I re-watch the movie every year in the summer. I pretty much know the whole script but I believe if he was still alive he would still be making movies
in a way they do Eleanor was a shelby gt500 and they do make those just get the go baby shift knob and it painted ingot silver there is your s550 Eleanor
F yeah, coolest mustang of today next to the GT350. But for the blue collar guy this is great for the $$$
Beautiful machine 50k ain't bad
I love this Mustang
Very 😎
Why not track option
I hear these new 5 liter motor develop a ticking problems. I think it is the no steel lined jugs begin to leak down compression causing the tick sound. Instead of steel cylinders, Ford does a Flame Spray type Chrome lining of the jugs similar to weed eater motors. Also.. The Cheap plastic intake manifold bothers me. Other wise I love this car. The only thing better is the original GT 390 FastBack!! O yes!! No cheap flame spray plastic intake on that 390!!
Nothing wrong with the plastic intakes these days. They are better in almost every way then the old aluminum intakes. I do wish they had designed something a bit more aesthetic though.
@@TheVikingRL Long Term not good. Any plastic subject to benzene , heat soak, etc is not good long term. None of the race engines and racers use them. They all use CNC for a reason. The only reason Plastics are used is cost, Not because they are better. Period!
@@grabir01 The plastic/composite doesn't heat soak like aluminum, is lighter, and generally has smoother passages than most any aluminum intake. Aluminum is stronger so better in FI applications and can be ported more readily than a plastic intake. I also suspect it's easier for most aftermarket companies to develop/manufacture aluminum intakes which is why they are more common. I don't know how rapidly the plastic intakes break down due to heat/benzene/etc but suspect it is at least somewhat dependent on the quality of the composite used.
I have nothing against good aluminum intakes and am waiting for a CNC piece as we speak. But I wouldn't be in any rush to rip one off of my Mustang "just because" either.
5.0L DOHC V-8 (Ford Mustang GT/Bullitt)
- Named one of _Ward's 10 Best Engines_ for 2019
You are very mis-informed sir. The liners are Plasma Wire Arc and they are not the causing of the ticking. The ticking is also harmless/normal so who cares.
John Davis you are a legend
usually i don't like muscle/pony cars that much, but this one is among the few i like. The Camaro ZL1 1LE would be my Musclecar to go, but we don't get any of these in europe.
Real question: How does the 6 speed manual Bullitt with +20hp compare to a stock Gt with that INSANE 10 speed auto?
the 10-speed makes a better straight-line performer by a Half a Second
Crazy how Ford can build an efficient 25mpg V8 and 30mpg+ NA V6 but in the case of their Ecoboosts you really have to baby those things to get close to EPA. This almost 500hp coupe can achieve 25mpg or better just cruising down the highway and mid teens city. An F150 with 5.0 get identical numbers as the Ecoboost unloaded and better numbers loaded. As soon as you spool your turbos up your mpg drops with the Ecoboosts which is constantly if it’s loaded truck. My conclusion: For fuel economy and longevity get a Coyote as a daily. If you tow a lot at higher altitudes or pull through the mountains on a regular and don’t care about mpg then get an Ecoboost. They can pull better than most V8s but with worse mpg.
Or get the powerstroke f150, but still don't really know the long term problems with those.
BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!
Why are the steering wheels Big Rig truck large?
Why did they say “OHV”?, kinda noticeable mistake.
If it's not a Subaru Crosstrek they get confused
paul mcelligott
It’s Dual Over Head Cam not single over head cam 😂 4 cam shaft 32 valve, 4 valve per combustion chamber plus Vtech-variable valve timing extra 30 hp kick in at higher rpm using bigger cam loops
Bring back the maverick while you are at it
And the Pinto and the 1974-1978 Mustang ll line

The only thing they are at is taking away very car but the mustang.
This is the ONLY mustang I like in this body style. I am a fan of the 2008 bullet mustang.
Dear Motor Week, please ditch the music and place mic near the exhaust. That would be more enjoyable than the music you're playing.
It really is going to be sad when all we hve to track test are a Nissan Rouge, mustang EV or Honda Passport. Long live the V8 car!

My dream car.but I can't drive Manual transmission vehicles😣
Me either
Beautiful!😎👍
I’ll take one!
Guess now I have to watch the movie AGAIN....!!!
Is it just me, it does 420 lp-ft of torque seem kind of low for an 480 HP engine?
knytrydr73 small displacement engines are notorious for high HP low torque
@@ITRIEDEL - Is that right? Did not know that.
STANGS always show up n out
Dealers are going to mark up like crazy unfortunately
SpeedDemon2581 ; Yup, but no one has to buy it. Let the Bullitts and the new GT500 sit at the dealers for a year or so.
SpeedDemon2581 got mine at msrp & I found one at $500 over msrp for one of my subscribers in Arizona, he flew to Tx and drove it back...
Didn't they make the Mustang's gearing taller? That could be why it's slower.
I hope the Mach 1 won't be as slow as the Bullitt. But at least the Mach 1 is available with the 10-speed auto. Maybe that will help . . .
@@bman99ss yeah, I hear the 10-speed is the way to go because it gets around the taller gearing, but the manual is more macho.
The excessive cylinder wall wear and tick is normal people. Ford even said so.
Joey Brown I hear you loud and clear !!!🤣🤣🤣 They make junk and justify it by saying “It’s normal...”, so you let warranty run out and you get stuck with the inevitable $$$$ to fix it !!!
What’s the difference between this mustang vs Gt ??
Front spoiler, front grill (gloss), intake manifold, throttlebodies, air intake, brake calipers, wheels, seats (green stichting and different learher pattern), door panels, Bullitt startup screen animation, Numbered Bullitt number plate on dash, white cueball shifter, green stichting on floor mats, Bullitt badges on stearing wheel and “fuel cap”, chrome around windows and no Mustang badges in the front and no 5.0 badges on wings. Probably forgot some details, but now you got an idea that actually this is not a GT - its a real special edition with focus on original details.
The Bullitt is slower . . .
Yikes. 10K more and change than I paid for my Performance Pack 2015. Interested in the intake parts though if I could get to 480.
It's not really 10k more if you option out the GT the same . My 2015 50th was like $43k because of options.
if you knew Math, then you would know that a comparably equipped GT is approx. the same price
@@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8Okay. But it's still 10K more than I paid for my car. You seem confused about "math".
"Eight o'clock? Sure. We'll take the Bullitt."
2008 Bullitt gained 15hp over the GT. 2019 Bullitt gains... 15hp
TheTmaaan55; Do you remember the price of the 2008 Bullitt?
@@cobracharmer6178 The window sticker on mine was $31,960 with all the options
@@TheTmaaan55 like $3500 more than my gt at the time . This bullit is only like 2000 more than a comparable GT.
@@TheTmaaan55 ; Thanks Tmaaan. That means the new "Bullit" is about $15k more than your 08. That also means a typicaI blue collar worker would have to get a .50 cent per hour pay raise every year since 2008 to keep up with the price. .50cent = $1,000 per year. I still own my 09 GT500 I bought new in Nov. 08. Sticker: $46,195. Paid $42,900. No mark up because the economy was starting to tank. The new GT cost as much.
@@cobracharmer6178 ...ok? I just think its funny that the bullitt gained exactly the same HP advantage after 10 years
480hp, that's almost 500hp. I wonder if Ford could still squeeze more horses into that Coyote motor, when the next generation Mustang arrives. Though it might be too early to say this. But if they still recycle that engine for the next generation, they might either make it a hybrid, or stick to the old ways of increasing the displacement.
All they have to do is keep adding gt350 parts to the gt to get more power.
@@1compaqedr8 Yeah... probably that is another idea what they will do. They will use the Vodoo engine, with the flat plane crank.
Put an ECU Tune on it and you're there
I just love this Mustang. The numbers for January bear out that about 20,000 more people did too when buying a Pony Car. Mustang is the formula, the original, still the best. Cudos still to Demon and Hellcat for the big push to gain 3% additional marketshare. Horsepower and Marketing. Camaro is kind of still excellent, but over shadowed. Horsepower and livable balance here count. And Mustang wins! I loved my 2010 Mustang GT Premium, and yeah it is true. You will always be a Mustang fan for life. For Balance I had a Camaro before this Mustang and it was nowhere as good.
0 to 60 in 4.7 and 1/4 in 12.9
Exact numbers motorweek got from the 2006 GTO
@Dominic Turkstra hell yea that is! That's sounds about right
Yeah, they can't drive. These cars hit 12.0 @ 117 easily with the 6-speed
@@BigDaddyAddyMS I guess the folks at Motor Trend and Car and Driver can't drive either. From all their test results, it seems that the Bullitt is simply slower than the GT . . .
I heard 4.2 seconds for 1/4 mile
Would be mean as hell in black with wider rear tires and a supercharger
Pushrods?
Love the color.. way under powered
Nice car, but like all the top spec ponies out there way to expensive.
John if this was a bullitt test, for God's sake stop calling it the gt!!!
5 years later and Ford wants $10,000 more for a similar vehicle… WTF 🇺🇸
6k miles and the check engine lights already on 🤣
I wonder if youll have to double clutch it 😂
Only if you live your life a quarter mile at a time.
I think he meant to say, running over crowds. 😂
Dude get some new jokes...
I appreciate the car
But dang I really just enjoy the older models. Up to 2009 . Those body styles just yell mustang. These newer models Even from 2010 progressively start looking nothing like one. But growth is important.
you'd have to be a numbskull to buy this in black...
I did. Every time I start washing it I tell myself that I should have got the green one. Every time I finish washing it I’m so happy I got the black one. Put them next to each other and you will se that green is beautiful - but black is badass 😎
The way Mr. Davis talks, makes me think he’s had a stroke sometime recently.
I've never seen a show that always has a "cold damp track" Everytime they test a car... Ever think of changing test locations? Crazy thinking I know.... Smh
Joelon 305 ; I think that's why they drove it to Georgia in hopes of better weather.
@@cobracharmer6178 watch all their reviews of performance cars...it's the same story every time. I've never heard..."great day and great weather for testing today..." Lol
I get a kick out of the downhill strip they use for 0-60 runs and quarter mile times WTF?
What American citizen will do with that car, It got a manual gearbox 😃
Hmmmm….drive it?, euro-snob
2 for me pls☺️😎
How much do we have to pay to see Mr.John Davis himself do a burnout in this car?..... please John,do a burnout.
Since Ford isn't doing anything about the typewriter tick, not buying another one again! Also, the clutch forks are failing prematurely and all they are doing is replacing the transmission with a new one that has yhe same exact problem. No, thank you!
then you're only option is Challenger or Camaro
my neighbour has one.
As a Camaro fan/owner, I would never buy a Mustang out of principle. But something isn't right, that car only getting a 12.9 on the quarter with 480 horses. Not that anyone buying this car will try for themselves. They'll get bought up just to be auctioned off in 20 years
They clearly stated the conditions made the times longer and implied it is faster than the numbers.
@@1compaqedr8 motor week has historically always had slower times posted than the average of the other automotive publications. Compare any test they do to motor trend, for example, and they're usually 3 to 6 tenths of a sec slower.
@Camaro SS your listening comprehension is bullshit
Yeah , these guys might be getting old or something. My 2015 gt with just a cat back does 12.8 at 113mph on all season Michelin pilot sport all season tires and doesnt rev to 7500 like the bullut. Is this car even heavier maybe ?
if the regular GT Mustang can do it in 4.2s and 12.5s then so can the Bullitt
from 3:04 i lost this guy till the end it was like a joke to me , not hating and nice car though
Why do you test it on a track and mention no time in relation to other tested cars on this track. This say nothing but subjective impressions!

@@LGBFJB46 2019 Bullitt Mustang is 480 hp. 2019 Camaro SS is 455 hp. 2019 Mustang Bullitt weight is 3705 lbs, 2019 Camaro SS is 4113 lbs. So tell me again how the Camaro SS is faster if it has less horsepower and is over 300 pounds heavier? I know Chevy guys are rarely the sharpest tool in the shed but the math is pretty simple. Also, both of these cars are not "bad ass"; one of these cars is bad ass, the other one is a Chevy.
@@LGBFJB46 ; Research tells me the Camaro is on the chopping block.
4.7 is not great for a 480hp car
it will match an 18 GT Mustang so it's 12.5s and 4.2s
Keith Johnson - Shelby GT500 agreed, but even those numbers are not get for the HP . We also have a 2016 GT and I have always felt it should be faster. Traction and weight are the stangs biggest killer
@@andrewrae50 - the 18 Mustang GT 10A matched a Lexus LFA with an 11.8s 1/4 mile pass bone stock
I wouldnt take their numbers as written in stone.. the car, the weather and the driver will vary the result
They clearly state in the video that bad weather conditions (probably too cold to get decent traction with summer tires) prevented better times and that they previously got .5 sec faster times with a GT in better weather. I know that with my Mach 1 and summer tires, if the temps are in the 30's it is like driving in the rain - the tires just spin over 4000 rpms in 1st and 2nd.
