The 2001 Mustang was mainly a carry-over year with the same styled 2 door coupe and convertible offerings from the previous year. Three models were the base level V6, the V8 GT, and returning from 1999 the higher performance standard SVT Cobra but with the word Cobra embossed on the rear bumper. In 2000 only 300 special SVT Cobra's were built. The biggest news in 2001 was the introduction of the Black or Highland Green Bullitt special model GT coupe based on the 1968 fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 detective movie Bullitt. Famous for its car chase scene on the streets of San Francisco, there were many third party Bullitt kits available.

The 2001 Bullitt optioned Mustang was based on the 1968 fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the detective movie Bullitt. Bullitt modifications include unique side scoops, 17-inch American Racing aluminum wheels, a lowered suspension, modified C-pillars, special quarter panel molding, rocker panel moldings, brushed aluminum fuel cap door, special Bullitt badging, polished-rolled tailpipe, and came in Dark Highland Green and True Blue and Black. The original 1968 used in the movie was Dark Highland Green. The movie's director called for speeds of 75 to 80 mph, but the cars (including the ones containing the cameras) reached speeds of over 110 mph on surface streets. Filming of the chase scene took three weeks, resulting in 9 minutes and 42 seconds of film. During the chase scene, the Charger loses six hubcaps and has different ones missing at different times. The production company was denied permission to film on the Golden Gate Bridge.
