Saleen Automotive, Inc. (SLNN-OTC) has been receiving a lot of press lately for its innovative take on the future of electric vehicles through the launch of the all-electric, high-performance Saleen FOURSIXTEEN. This week, however, Steve Saleen reminds us that he knows and has built a company on Mustangs and American Muscle cars. The company held its annual car show this past weekend at the Saleen headquarters in Corona, California, where a highlight of the event was the release of renderings for its newest Mustang: the 2015 Saleen 302.
Attendees at the car show had the first look at profile pictures of the company’s 2015 car, which features an upgraded engine and independent rear suspension for what Saleen has stated could be its highest-performance Mustang yet.
While Saleen has kept silent so far on how much horsepower the newest Mustang will offer, the company did release details of the car’s specifications today. The 2015 302 has a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission, and appears lower to the ground that previous iterations of the car. A complete list of the car’s specs is available here.
