October 17, 1968 - this was the moment when Warner Brothers/Seven Arts revealed the movie Bullitt, a 113 minutes film featuring a 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 driven by Steve McQueen. Now, as a tribute to that amazing car, Gateway Classic Mustang will be offering a limited edition Mustang called the 1968 Steve McQueen Signature Mustang painted in the same green as the car in the movie. We think it can go without saying that this car will be extremely rare, and therefore extremely expensive.

The Steve McQueen Signature Mustang will be powered by a Roush engine that will deliver an impressive 450 HP and will be mated to a Keisler five-speed manual. The car will sit on a set of American Racing wrapped around BF Goodrich tires. The sporty wheels will be combined with 12-inch/11-inch front/rear Baer brakes and a coilover suspension to keep everything civilized.[...]

The Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari is no doubt the most powerful Fiat 500 in the line-up. It is powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged T-Jet engine that delivers a total of 180 HP, a significant increase over the 500’s standard 101 HP. But, as usual, there is always someone out there who believes that any car can be improved, and Italian tuner Romeo Ferraris has taken on that challenge with the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari.

Romeo Ferraris got their hands on two of the limited edition Tributo Ferraris so they could tinker around with their insides. Starting off with the original project’s 1.4-liter turbocharged T-Jet engine, Romeo Ferraris used new camshafts, a new turbine, oversize injectors, a remapped ECU and a new exhaust system complete with sports catalyst and dual rear exit to get the Tributo Ferrari up to 260 HP. That’s a 80 HP increase over the standard 180 HP.[...]
