It's time to step it up a gear and pit these 2 legendary cars against each other!
You'll get the chance to drive both the Shelby GT500 Mustang (manual) and the Ford "Bullitt" Mustang (automatic), but which will be your favourite?
Made famous by the 2000 movie "Gone in 60 seconds" the "Eleanor" Shelby GT500 Mustang is highly regarded as an excellent track day car, thanks to its powerful engine, sophisticated suspension, effective braking, aerodynamic design, and optimal weight distribution... we could go on! Its iconic status amongst car enthusiasts will make this one special driving experience to remember.
The Ford "Bullitt" Mustang won't disappoint either. It has a classic Mustang silhouette but subtle tweaks have been made to improve airflow and reduce lift at high speeds, enhancing overall stability and handling. It's an exhilarating car to drive on the track, you won't forget this driving experience in a hurry!
The only choice you need to make is whether you go for the 12 lap option or the 20 lap option. Both come with 4 sighting laps and a high speed passenger lap.

As soon as you start the engine, that unmistakable V8 burble fills the air, sending shivers down your spine and a grin across your face. This isn’t just a car, it’s a statement, and one that doesn’t whisper.
With its hefty horsepower and rear-wheel drive layout, the GT500 is a proper driver’s car: fast, loud, and packed with character. The manual gearbox puts you firmly in control, giving you the chance to connect with the car in a way that only a stick-shift muscle car can deliver. Gear changes are meaty and satisfying, and the power delivery is thrillingly linear, with a deep surge of torque every time you press the throttle.

With its burly 4.8 litre V8 engine, smooth automatic transmission, and unmistakable old-school charm, this beast delivers a driving experience that’s more about rumble and character than raw speed. Producing 200 bhp and clocking 0–60 mph in around 9 seconds, the Bullitt Mustang offers a unique, nostalgic ride that takes you back to the golden era of muscle cars.
Inspired by the legendary Steve McQueen film "Bullitt", this car is the embodiment of cool.

Just sitting behind the wheel feels like stepping onto a movie set, you’re not just going for a drive, you’re living out a cinematic dream.
This Mustang isn’t about lap times or cutting-edge tech, it’s about character, presence, and the pure joy of driving a proper V8. As soon as you start the engine, that deep, rumbling soundtrack fills the air, letting you know you’re in something truly special. The power delivery is smooth and muscular, and while it may not be the quickest car in our line-up, it’s easily one of the most memorable.
This experience is perfect for drivers who appreciate classic motoring with a heavy dose of Americana. Whether you grew up idolising the Mustangs of the muscle car era, or you’re discovering them for the first time, the Bullitt Mustang offers an unmissable chance to get behind the wheel of a piece of automotive history.
