Default 2019 Mustang Bullitt

https://media.ford.com/content/fordm...g-bullitt.html

Looks great. Hopefully they do a run of cars for Australia. Probably won't though. There's nothing that could stop it except the exhaust has been retuned, which might push it above our legal levels.

An extra 15 hp with an open CAI, GT350 inlet manifold and throttle body, and retuned exhaust.

No one has said it won’t come here.

For what it’s worth, I think it will. It would keep the momentum and halo effect going on with Oz sales.

After all Whickman is on the record saying that we have a good chance of getting something special, based on the really good RHD sales here ( which have exceeded all expectations).

Love the little promo video.

354 kW from an N/A 5.0 engine is very good.

Fake news Drive are saying it’s US only- I think they’ll be proven to be just making stories up ( as usual ).

I am waiting for the sequel on when she returns to the car and they has slashed her tyres and keyed obscenities into the paintwork down the whole side of the car.

The sad thing is that the commercial wouldn't be able to be shown on Oz Tv, as it would offend the Nanny's.

No one from Ford Australia has said anything yet. But I'd assume cause it's a special edition limited in build numbers it may not come here. Although they bloody well should bring a run of them here.

With Mustang selling in such great numbers here (pretty sure we are the no 1 export market) then it gives us greater negotiating power. But I guess we will find out in future.

I thought the leftover tyre marks from the earlier cuts of that reverse burnout takeoff scene was an unprofessional touch.
Unless that’s just meant to be everyone’s reaction when coming to a barricaded off lane, I know it would be my reaction.

Maybe they did it on purpose, in the original movie you can see tyre marks from the earlier attempts.....

Yeah, no way they'll show this ad in Australia. Harold Scruby will be frothing at the mouth the moment he sees it.

Is it even illegal to drive in such a way in a private car park assuming you have the owners permission?

Lots of Australian ads will show fast driving with loss of traction on dirt roads for example.

They did one for the new Ranger Raptor on dirt roads but couldn't get the 2.0L to break traction.

Good to see it's going to come here. Now how about the PPL2 option?

And the GT500 later on.

This may be the stepping stone to see how many HP buyers bite, perhaps 500 allocation?

Maybe healthy orders leads to more specials like GT500, if not maybe a special for our market,
like the Bulitt engine and PP2 suspension with MT or AT, call it Boss 351 (Kw)?

Doubt you could do a handbrake turn in the Australian version, too hard to lean over the passenger side to pull the handbrake on.
What an insult to Australia to leave the handbrake and bonnet catch on the passenger side.
Yea, I know, all about money.

I don't know why it has taken Ford this long to release a special edition Mustang in OZ
Make hay while the sun shines.
This is one part of the Market where the sun is shinning bright.
Get the GT350/500 here while GM/Chrysler are asleep at the wheel.

Still not moving the handbrake and catch for the newest model mustang?

So what exactly are you getting for $6k extra over the previous Mustang, a few extra gears?

Updated interior trim, upgraded audio system, active exhaust, considerable power upgrade, stronger manual gearbox, new 10 speed auto, better tyres, digital gauge pack, improved suspension settings, safety equipment improvements, tri-bar led DRL's. I'm sure I have left something out but a pretty decent upgrade for the money.

MC Mondeo was worse - open the passenger door and it would cut the radio off mid-phone-call for the driver. They were too lazy to even re-allocate the driver's door priority in the courtesy switches.

The VB-VL, and subsequent VN-VS Commodores all had their handbrake towards the left of the console - from the early Opel LHD origins. Nobody ever whinged about them. I actually found it more useful to have the power window switches beside me, as you use those more than the handbrake.

But the bonnet catch - that's just lazy. It drove the guys crazy who had Mondeos at work - when they went to fill the washers up at a servo, and had to go around the passenger side (often right up beside the pump) to open it.
It's not that hard to move it across - VB-VL are stamped in both sides to accept the bonnet release, so each market gets it fitted on the correct side. 40 years later Ford still can't come to terms with it?
