The restyled Mustang Bullitt is equipped with a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Tremec five-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2007 version.

The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Statistics

The Mustang is 187.60 inches long, 74.00 inches wide, and 54.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 107.10 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the Mustang is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 60 months or 60,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $19,650, with a dealer invoice cost of $18,256. This price is in line with the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2008 Mustang is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.

The 2008 Mustang gets 24 - 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 - 17 in the city. This is below average for a coupe car.

Parting Shots

The 2007 model began the promise of the Ford Mustang. The 2008 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Ford hopes that the Mustang Bullitt will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
