HIGHLY doubt it. The GT350 is what the Boss 302 was. Don't think there's a place in the market for two extremely track focused Mustangs... And with Bullitt, Mach 1 and GT500 all strongly rumored for priduction in the next few years, where would a Boss 302 fit in?
On the 08, the only thing that is actually "chrome" is the outside bezel of the wheel center caps. Everything else (grille surround, rear faux gascap, interior vents, etc.) is a very nice looking "satin" finish.
It looks like this 2018 (at least from what we can see in those design drawings...
Considering it's been picked up by nearly every automotive blog/news site, I'd say the automotive sector of the internet is abuzz, at least.
And IMO everything that makes the Bullitt THE coolest, makes Eleanor the absolute worst...
Given the level of legal signoffs required to get a video like this out, I can't imagine ANYTHING in it isn't intentional. And it has the internet abuzz.
They have no reason to even bother denying anything, because why not take the extra buzz rather then put a kibosh on it? People have short...
The most likely option is they're showing the "all new" aluminum 2018 Expedition, ahead of next week's Chicago Auto Show.
But is there a chance that the studio design "leaks" were actual, accidental leaks? Probably not, but if it is the case, perhaps Ford wants to get out ahead of it and...
Ford's official Facebook just posted this:
We have an all-new vehicle announcement coming up tomorrow. Stay tuned here
And looks like there will be a "Facebook Live" event for the unveiling of something at 11:55 am - it doesn't say what time zone, though...
Here is my 08. Absolutely love this car. It's in storage now, though. Can't wait for Spring to get here!
It's not the fastest or the loudest, but IMHO, it's the coolest S197 Mustang Ford ever made. An S550 Bullitt would be no different!
After the Fusion/MKZ launch together at NAIAS a few years ago, I'd be flabbergasted if they launched them together. Ford launched the new Fusion and MKZ at the same show and it worked very negatively for Lincoln - everyone said, why would I spend extra money for the Lincoln when the Ford has...
Press days for the Chicago Auto Show are this week and on the press conference schedule, it lists "Ford Vehicle Introduction" at 11:30 (central time) for Ford's slot.
Maybe it's the Bullitt! But the new Expedition is probably more likely...
Exactly. Bullitts never get the respect they should be cause they only have a few more hp than the GT from which they're based, but there is SO much more to a Bullitt than a few HP and green paint...
Bullitt is absolutely more than a GT/CS. GT/CS is an appearance package, and nothing more.
Everyone is always caught up on the fact that the Bulitt, "only" had a few extra HP over a GT, but it really was a comprehensive performance upgrade.
The 08 Bullitt had more power and torque, upgraded...
The 01 had a few hp more than the GT, and yes, stripping away all of the flare and being green is the ethos of Bullitt. It's all about flying under the radar.
Until the government tells them they cannot, they will do it every chance they get, forever. My buddy is a dealer and he says "we're here to make money, not make friends..."
