Saleen’s Iconic Styling is a Recipe for Success
Saleen’s iconic styling and outstanding performance is what makes us the leader in performance automobiles. We ensure that every part we make contains this exemplary look and feel. Our wings are made to fit seamlessly onto your vehicle and add that much needed downforce without being an eyesore.
Why Choose Saleen?
Saleen knows performance and aerodynamics. We were so successful with our S7, that at 160 MPH, it created it’s own weight in downforce, meaning it could drive upside down. Of all the American muscle cars, our wings and spoilers have the most surface area, meaning that you get the most bang for your buck. Installation is a breeze and requires nothing more than simple hand tools. Adding a Saleen wing or spoiler to your vehicle is the best modification you will make.
*Promotion lasts from October 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014. Eligible Body parts include: Full Body Package, Front Fascia, Rear Fascia, and Side Skirts for all 1984-2004 Mustangs. Decal set included is the lower Saleen Stripe Kit for the same MY as ordered body parts. Promotional items will be added at checkout and may ship separately.

Some of the mystery about the 2015 Saleen 302 is solved. The renderings of the full front and side of the new Saleen 302 were revealed at the event. Typically a novelist will reveal the details of the story in various chapters. Steve Saleen is keeping fans in suspense for yet another chapter.
Ford has chosen to produce the 2.3 Liter EcoBoost Mustang to begin the 2015 model year. The EcoBoost engine will have 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft. of torque with a Best-in-class 21 city/32 hwy/25 combined mpg.
The EcoBoost Mustang might be ok for many Mustang enthusiasts, but performance oriented Saleen fans are waiting for the release of the 8 cylinder 302 Mustangs. The renderings of the 2015 Saleen 302 Mustang have satisfied a little of the curiosity that surrounded the Saleen event. Patience will be necessary to get to the last chapter of the novel.
The photos below are informal images taken during the event. Formal photos will be posted later. These images compare the 2015 Ford Mustang to the 2015 Saleen 302.

In the world of limited edition production automobiles; unusually equipped vehicles can exist through a myriad or reasons. Such as a deletion of options, a shortage of parts, or even a change in suppliers. Any scenario creating a variation of equipment from car to car. Abnormalities can also happen by way of unusual, non-standard exterior and trim colors by “special request” from the original order.
When we view Saleen Mustang production from 1984 through 1993; we see an allotment of standard issue exterior and interior colors with each model year as well as recommended color combinations for paint, decals and wheel finish. These recommendations for hues were generally accepted by most customers; though a few buyers went away from these Saleen color charts to create one-off vehicles without equal.
From what we know, Saleen produced nine Mustangs between 1984 through 1989 that featured a solid red interior. (For the sake of this story, we are ignoring the 1986-91 convertibles that were optioned with the red/white Ford leather option.)
When we examine these solid red interior cars, most were produced for the 1988 model year in the hatchback body style.
During the 1989 model year, Saleen Autosport produced 892 serialized Mustangs. Of these, 167 were convertibles. As of this writing 51 units are known to be painted black.
Of the 51 black convertibles:
*36 units had Smoke color interior
*11 units had Sand Beige interior
*3 units are believed to have white tu-tone color mixes of Ford leather
*1 unit had Scarlet Red interior
The lone 1989 convertible with solid Scarlett Red interior is serial number 89-0107. Produced during October 1988, this early ’89 Saleen Mustang was equipped with grey ARE wheels with an exterior graphic delete. This Mustang was one of eight black convertibles for the model year to feature side graphic delete as well as one of 40 black convertibles to be equipped with a black roof.
One unique feature of 89-0107 is the Bittersweet Red painted side pin stripe applied by Ford. Typically these painted stripes, when applied during the aero era, matched the main interior color. Saleen Mustangs produced in 1984, 1985, 1988 through 1990 will tend to have these stripes most often. Exceptions being GT conversions, SSC and SC. -DB

About the Limited Edition NFS Mustang
Steve Saleen used his experience designing and building vehicles for the Need For Speed movie to create a Limited Edition Mustang that is at home in the world’s most prestigious car collections . The Limited Edition NFS Mustang adds custom paint wheels, and advanced internal components to Saleen’s top of the line Titanium model to produce a vehicle that embodies the spirit of the Mustang used in the movie.
Form Follows Function
The front of the vehicle features a Saleen Functional Red Butterfly™ Center Induction Hood and a Front Fascia with a High Volume Radiator Intake to maximize the airflow in and out of the engine compartment. Side Skirts with Integrated Brake Intakes and Carbon Fiber Air Vanes deliver cold air to the brake calipers to prevent over-heating.
A Rear Integrated Diffuser allows fast moving air beneath the vehicle to expand creating a low-pressure zone, and a high-downforce rear spoiler keeps the vehicle on the pavement at high speeds. The Decklid Center Insert reduces parasitic drag; while the Rear Fascia with an Integrated Quad Exhaust and LED Race Lamps improve rear-end aerodynamics and style.
Lateral Acceleration
S4 Specific Rate Front and Rear Springs, S4 Front Struts, and S4 Rear Shocks work together to optimize stability around corners while providing perfect control during extreme braking. The Saleen Front and Rear Swaybars and High Durometer Pivot Bushings provide precise steering control while conquering tight corners at racing speeds.
Longitudinal Acceleration
The Limited Edition NFS Mustang features a push button start a 650 horsepower Supercharged 5.0L, V8 Ti-VCT Engine, with a 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 sec and a top speed of 282 km/h. The patented 8th generation Saleen 296 Supercharger™ incorporates a twin-screw compressor which drives an astounding 32 cubic meters of air per minute into the engine adding nearly 200 horsepower to the naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 Ti-VCT Engine. The engine is available with a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, or a 6-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shifter and a final drive gear ratio of 3.73:1.
The Six-Pack™ Intercooler System incorporates six cylindrical micro-fin intercoolers providing over 60% more cooling and flow efficiency than the standard 5.0L V8 Ti-VCT Engine cooling system. In addition, the NFS Mustang features a High Volume Intercooler Water Pump delivering 90 liters of water per minute through the cooling system, and a Remote External Air Induction system optimizes the air/fuel ratio within the combustion chamber. The Launch Control App manages wheel traction control for maximum longitudinal acceleration during quick launches that translates to quicker 0-100 km/h times. Finally, Saleen’s Power Flash Performance Calibration maximizes the engine horsepower and torque curves throughout the RPM band.
