Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang - A High Performance Limited Edition Series

Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang - A High Performance Limited Edition Series Close collaboration between the estate of Steve McQueen, Chad McQueen, McQueen Racing, Steeda, HRE Wheels, and Galpin Auto Sports created a car special enough to be approved by the legendary star's son. Building on an excellent platform, adding amazing performance combined with precision handling, and wrapped in a menacing, yet, understated package that is second to none. Steve would be proud! For Immediate Release LOS ANGELES, CA - McQueen Racing, Steeda, and Galpin Auto Sports, alongside Chad McQueen, have announced the launch of the official Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang in a limited production of only 300/year. Using the stunning new Ford Bullitt Mustang as a starting point, this ultra-high performance edition has been purposely re-engineered to deliver supreme performance, improved driving dynamics, and offer an increased exclusiveness for this iconic Mustang. The dedicated engineering and performance teams have spent considerable development time to create the most quintessential McQueen Mustang possible - The Steve McQueen Edition. The design spec was classic McQueen - take an already excellent car and enhance power throughout the RPM band, while improving the handling capabilities suitable for both track and on-road, and give the design an even more classic restrained but undeniably cool stance. "Ford's Mustang has always been a big part of my dad's legend. I wanted to kick the already strong performance up several notches without losing that essential style that makes this car so desirable. Less is more," commented Chad McQueen, professional racer & Steve McQueen's only son. "This special edition reflects the lessons my dad ingrained in me about what made his personal cars so desirable." Key attributes of the Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang include:

  • Available Powertrains - Naturally Aspirated 500hp or Supercharged 800hp
  • Available Only in Dark Highland Green
  • Exclusive McQueen Racing Performance Powertrain, Suspension and Handling Parts Engineered, Tested, and Developed in Collaboration Between McQueen Racing and Steeda
  • Lowered 1" in the Front and 1" in the Rear
  • Custom Steve McQueen Edition 20" FlowForm Wheels by HRE 20"x10" (front) and 20"x11" (rear)
  • Nitto NT555 G2 Ultra High Performance Tires - 275/35ZR20 (front) and 315/35ZR20 (rear)
  • A Purchasers Package that includes Letter of Authenticity, Signed Steve McQueen Edition Commemorative Print by Camilo Pardo, and other unique items
  • Commemorative Steve McQueen Edition Rear License Plate Numbered JJZ109 - a Nod to the Original Movie Car
The substantial chassis, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades involve over 27 individual components that provide powerful and confident performance, all designed, engineered, and manufactured under strict ISO 9001:2008 Certified standards in the U.S.A. "The Steve McQueen Edition Program Team had no limits in their quest to incorporate key components that strategically work cohesively together delivering maximum performance" proclaimed Dario Orlando, President of Steeda, "the entire Steeda Team is proud to bring our over 30-years of experience in designing, engineering, and manufacturing high-performance Mustang components to this exclusive developmental team." In addition, with the dramatic power increases and changes to the suspension, it was necessary to also upgrade the wheel and tire fitment to give the car its distinctive stance. To accomplish this, the Steve McQueen Edition Project Team worked hand-in-hand with HRE Wheels to design and engineer a modern reincarnation of the classic wheel that was on the original 1968 Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the movie. After countless design iterations, a new Steve McQueen Edition HRE FlowForm aluminum wheel was conceived that provides a staggered wheel fitment that optimizes the fitment of Nitto High-Performance tires (275/35-20 front and 315/35-30 rear). "We are honored to be the wheel partner for this very special edition Mustang. The Steve McQueen Edition Designers worked closely with us to develop a fresh take on the original Bullitt Mustang design and I think we've captured it perfectly. We're looking forward to adding this iconic style to our HRE FlowForm lineup later this year." stated Alan Peltier, President of HRE Wheels.

He was racing dirt bikes by age nine, and in just three years, would go on to win his class in the World Mini Grand Prix. Chad quickly moved on to auto racing. He won his very first race: the Mini Le Mans event, a kids-only track created on the set of the film Le Mans. Before filming was completed, Chad would experience the thrill of racing at triple digit speeds down the straights, seated in his dad's lap at the wheel of a Porsche 917. And there would be no doubt afterwards that the McQueen racing gene would be passed to another generation. Like his father, Chad became a hardcore automobile, motorcycle, and racing enthusiast.
