The name Saleen often conjures images of the exotic S7 supercar, the company’s roots are firmly planted in the Mustang. Founded in 1983 by racing legend Steve Saleen, the tuner quickly established a reputation for transforming Ford’s pony car into a high-performance powerhouse.
From its early days modifying Fox-body Mustangs for the racetrack, Saleen expanded into producing street-legal versions that redefined the Mustang’s capabilities. As the Mustang changed, so did Saleen’s offerings, culminating in the stunning SA-40, a limited-edition Speedster released in 2023 to commemorate the company’s 40th anniversary.
This ultimate expression of the S550 Mustang platform is a testament to Saleen’s enduring legacy of crafting extraordinary performance vehicles. The Saleen SA-40 Speedster stands as a pinnacle achievement in the S550 Mustang lineage.
Building upon the already potent S302 Black Label, the SA-40 boasted a visually striking carbon fiber body, a meticulously tuned 800 horsepower V8, and a chassis honed for maximum performance. With its rarity and exceptional attributes, the SA-40 is destined to become a coveted collector’s item, a testament to Saleen’s mastery and the enduring allure of the Mustang.
