This is the first new Saleen model announcement since Steve Saleen got back to leading the brand which bears his name. It is called the Saleen 351 Mustang.
Previewed by the above rendering at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 351 Mustang is powered by a Saleen-engineered supercharged 351 cubic-inch V8 engine that produces 700 hp and 887 Nm of torque. It is mated a six-speed transmission with a performance clutch and a 3.73:1 final drive ratio. The brakes have been upgraded with 15-inch disks for improved stopping performance.
On the outside, the car features a functional butterfly hood scoop, carbon fiber front and rear splitters and carbon fiber side sills. There's also a carbon fiber rear diffuser, an F-1 style tail lamp and 20-inch alloy wheels with high-performance tires.
