Ford Australia has announced it will be importing a limited allocation of the Ford Mustang Bullitt edition which was announced at the most recent Detroit Motor Show.

As the second-biggest market for Mustangs behind the United States, it’s no great surprise that this car is coming Down Under, but Ford’s confirmation means we can stop holding our collective breath.

Available only in Dark Highland Green, the film car’s colour, and with Ford’s 5.0-litre V8, the U.S-spec Mustang Bullitt will produce 354kW/569Nm.

“Steve McQueen as Bullitt created a legend and Mustang Bullitt is the perfect way to salute an icon of the silver screen,” Whickman says.

“We have to be quite honest about it – [the] Mustang has far exceeded our expectations, and for that, we hope that the 2018 model – and the arrival of Mustang Bullitt – goes to show that we’re bringing in even more choices, options and flavours to help give customers the Ford Mustang they want.”

It will instead release more information throughout 2018, before the Bullitt arrives.
