The Bullitt Mustang has 480 HP. The twin air intakes in the grill for possible twin turbos. Hummmm.


I don't see how they fit 2 turbos in there. The 5.0 is already a pretty snug fit in there as it is. They would have to get awfully creative with packaging.

But that would put it above the GT350 approaching GT500 and they’ve already said it goes between the GT and the Shelbys.

 

I think performance hybrid makes more sense - and I believe that was the initial speculation last year too.

Hybrid with 5.0 would top the GT350 in most, if not all performance metrics.  Also, 2020 is said to be the final model year for the GT350, so it won’t be around when the Mach 1 arrives.  The front fenders in the release photos are wider than the standard Mustang, so this will likely be a parts bin car (best of GT PP2 and GT350) with some unique styling bits.

Most likely paying homage to the original.

Wow.  I’ll take press releases that say nothing for $1000 Alex.

 

Its called Mach 1 and will use a 5.0L V8.  No other details.  SMDH.

That’s a good point.  They certainly didn’t rule that out.  And there isn’t much room to improve the coyote 5.0 beyond what’s already been done.


The "Mach _" branding would go with electrification of some sort too.

 

 

Which is exactly why it probably won't be a hybrid, because that would make too much sense.

That's like the one I'm my film, except it's grey.
