Saleen

The Saleen car brand is an American performance manufacturer founded by racing driver Steve Saleen in 1983. It established its reputation by transforming Ford Mustangs into serialized, road-legal performance cars with upgraded engines, suspension, brakes, aerodynamics, and interiors. Saleen later developed original vehicles, most notably the mid-engine S7 supercar and the compact S1 sports car. Its current range includes Mustang-based 302 models, modified trucks and SUVs, and limited-production Saleen-designed cars. Motorsport has remained central to the company’s engineering approach, with Saleen vehicles competing in domestic and international racing. The brand primarily serves enthusiasts seeking distinctive American performance cars that sit between conventional factory models and highly exclusive supercars.
