2020 Ford Mustang Bullitt Review (Winding Road)
A Solid Upgrade To The Mustang GT, And Still Relevant.
Thanks very much to Ford for lending us the 2020 Ford Mustang Bullitt this review. Our tester's base price was $46,705, with $6,390 in options and a destination fee of $1095, making the all-day price $54,190.
Engine: Tons of Character, Glorious Noise
Great power from a high-revving V8 that sounds excellent
Poor fuel economy (though, who cares?)
Since we're talking about a fun, torquey American sports car, we've got to start with what lives under the hood. The naturally-aspirated, 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood of the Bullitt is very much like how it comes in the standard GT, albeit with a bigger 87mm throttle body, the Shelby GT350’s intake manifold, and a mild tune. That adds up to a cool 20 more horsepower over the GT, netting 480 with 420 lb.-feet of accompanying torque. Almost 100 horsepower per liter, naturally aspirated? Yes please. This is enough to shove the 3,705 lb. green beast to 60 MPH in 4.7 seconds, and hit the quarter mile mark in just 12.9 seconds.
