2008 Saleen 302E - Article

"2008 Saleen Mustang S302E", March 2009

With 620 HP and 600 lb-ft torque, the 2008 Saleen Mustang S302E is one of Fords most powerful and exotic fast cars. With a 6-speed manual transmission and Max-grip rear differential, this “extreme” roadster can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 4 heart pounding seconds and travel a quarter mile in just under 12 seconds. At a retail price of about $79,995, this sizzling sports car will definitely catch the attention of every fast car enthusiast.

The 2008 Saleen Mustang S302E boasts outstanding style, performance, and control. Built to look like the late 1960s Boss 302 Mustang, this exotic car contains front and rear fascias, rocker panels, spoiler, louvered rear window treatment, and shaker hood and matte black graphics. The S302E‘s body consists of unit steel with an aluminum hood. The interior of the car is decked out with black leather with silver accent stitching on the dash, door inserts, and center console. Saleen’s remarkable style is enhanced by the use of standard 20-inch, 5 spoke forged aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires. The powerful 2-door coupe also features a Saleen Racecraft suspension and an all-new, second generation Watts Link system that allows drivers to retain control when rounding corners.

The exceptional motor in the 2008 Saleen Mustang S302E features a forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods, individually blueprinted forged pistons, 5 axis CNC aluminum cylinder heads, high flow fuel injectors, and high performance camshafts. “This is the best motor that we have ever done,” says Powertrain Engineering lead Rob Simons. The chassis system is rounded out by upgraded 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and traction control. The high performance brake system features 15-inch vented, slotted rotors with 6-pistons calipers in the front and 11.8-inch rear vented discs with single piston calipers in the rear.

Saleen has lived up to its name by building an exotic fast car that packs all the power car enthusiasts expect from a Ford Mustang. The 2008 Saleen Mustang S302E definitely lives up to its proud nickname, “Extreme.”

"It seemed to make sense that as we go into our 25th Anniversary as a manufacturer in North America that we make our best and most powerful car yet,” says Saleen President and CEO, Paul Wilbur.
