<P> Two 1968 390 V8 Ford Mustang GT Fastbacks ( 325 hp ) with four - speed manual transmissions were used for the chase scene , both lent by the Ford Motor Company to Warner Bros. as part of a promotional agreement . The Mustangs ' engines , brakes and suspensions were heavily modified for the chase by veteran car racer Max Balchowsky . Ford also originally lent two Galaxie sedans for the chase scenes , but the producers found the cars too heavy for the jumps over the hills of San Francisco . They were replaced with two 1968 375 hp 440 Magnum V8 - powered Dodge Chargers . The engines in both Chargers were left largely unmodified , but the suspensions were mildly upgraded to cope with the demands of the stunt work . </P>
