Steve Saleen, CEO of Saleen Automotive, has announced the 35th Anniversary Edition Mustang, the “SA 35.”
Saleen Automotive celebrates every five years with a special, limited anniversary model using the Saleen Racing Heritage colors of black, white and yellow. There are only 10 Limited Editions produced and the prototype for SA 35 was unveiled at the company’s open house on Sept. 15 at Saleen headquarters in Southern California.
“We were extremely proud to introduce the SA 35 to our friends, family and enthusiasts. It celebrates and validates the continuing success and longevity of the Saleen brand,” said Steve Saleen.
The SA 35 is equipped with a Saleen supercharger, producing 780HP and 630 ft. lbs. of torque. Among the extensive standard features included in this limited edition are: Saleen iconic Racecraft R Code suspension, mono-block forged Saleen designed aluminum wheels, General G-Max tires, special 35th-anniversary fenders, Saleen Black Label hood, aerodynamics with retro styling, Saleen exhaust system, Saleen wing and custom SA 35 interior with special badging.
Saleen has had a long-standing relationship with General Tire, which was essential to the success of Saleen Automotive race teams in the 1980s, according to Saleen’s Enthusiast Club. Earlier this year, Saleen himself made an appearance at General Tire’s launch of its G-Max RS, the company’s entry into the summer ultra-high performance tire category.
