 Motor Show Ford Mustang Bullitt and Mercedes Belonging to the Pop Star Usher Shine at the Performance Festival

The Essen Motor Show is in the starting blocks: The curtain for the performance
festival at Messe Essen will fall on November 30 (Preview Day). The more than

Renault Motorsport, Skoda and Volkswagen Motorsport. They will show new
sports cars and current racing vehicles. The highlights will include German and fair premieres of the new Ford Mustang Bullitt, Renault Megane R.S. Trophy and Skoda Kodiaq RS.
The new Ford Mustang Bullitt on the booth of the Mustang Owners Club in Hall 5
cites numerous details of the Mustang Fastback GT390 from 1968 which, together with the title hero Steve McQueen, played the leading role in the legendary cinema film entitled Bullitt. These include the subtle chrome highlights around the radiator grille and along the front side windows as well as the black grille reserved for this special edition alone. The new Ford Mustang Bullitt is outstanding on the technical side too. Its V8 engine with a capacity of 5.0 litres mobilises 338 kW (460 bhp) and thus 7 kW (10 bhp) more than the Ford Mustang GT.
