So runs a PP3 as well, whack that onto the price, probably breaking £50k over here :eyebulge:
Likely they will be offered by Ford Racing Parts after the car has been out a while.So, how do I get a set of these wheels; without actually buying a Bullitt?
I do notice it's not running recaro's in this one :O
You're not paying for an Icon though, the Icon is the original, this is more a brand (just to be a pedant).Autocar says some will be coming to the UK, in the summer and in RHD.

They say in the USA it will be priced "well short" of the GT350 price.
So a specced GT350 is around $65k to $70k, so I reckon the Bullitt will be in the $60k ballpark, so possibly £50k to £55k which is damn good for such an icon, that pretty much needs nothing at all doing to it.
Definitely now wondering about waiting out for it.:love:
I also agree with Manders...You're not paying for an Icon though, the Icon is the original, this is more a brand (just to be a pedant).
Just for fun, I will disagree with young Manders...I also agree with Manders...
Absolutely love it but they'll probably price it too high for what it (really) is.
The s550 is a mustang. That is a brand of car, and is iconic in it's own right.Just for fun, I will disagree with young Manders...
Arguably you could say any model after the original is not iconic in the same way. Is my S550 iconic? To me, yes. The 2019 Bullitt, again, to me - yes. It's a modern copy of an iconic Mustang yes, but an icon nonetheless.
:ford:
Damn you Ford, you will bankrupt me one day :tsk:
Haha really [MENTION=6364]Twin Turbo[/MENTION]??? I thought he may be interested. I do get your point...I guess the correct phrase would be that these Bullitts will be a tribute to an icon.The s550 is a mustang. That is a brand of car, and is iconic in it's own right.
The S550.2 Bullitt edition isn't an iconic car, it's a homage to the original. Bullitt is a movie title. In fact the only car that can be Iconic by name, are the ones used in the movie, and replicas of that 68 390 mustang Fastback.
I would argue this point, for any Bullitt edition mustang ever created.
This is, a special edition mustang, and not an icon. If they remake bullitt with a steve mander (rather than a steve McQueen) with a 2018 S550 Bullitt, then sure, it's iconic for that. :lol:.
Neither of this is to say that the name is not iconic, and the car isn't special, but, for it's potential (speculative etc) price, is it worth it, as an icon, no. As a collectors item, and cool homeage, that's down to each individual (TT is currently selling his kidney, kids, wife, (and their non vital organs) and S197 for this lol)
