Expecting the speculations to be correct, the release of Ford Mustang Bullitt would be around 2018, in accordance with the 50th anniversary of original movie “Bullitt”.

It can however be also predicted that this whole stunt was a Ford-sponsored ad. It could be an intentional action by the team to create a buzz about the car before its release; and if it’s not, The Rock should be a little careful before releasing any such kind of videos on a social platform.
