Saleen has unveiled its latest powerhouse, the Saleen 302 Black Label Ford Mustang, at the MCA 60th Ford Mustang Anniversary event in Alabama. This high-performance marvel sits at the top of Saleen’s S650 302 lineup, boasting an impressive 800 horsepower and 660 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine. Alongside the jaw-dropping power output, Saleen has implemented a range of upgrades to enhance both the cosmetic appeal and handling prowess of the vehicle.
Under the hood, enhancements include a Saleen Performance throttle controller, a high-volume intercooler water pump, and a high-performance air filter among others, ensuring that the Black Label delivers exhilarating performance. The power is channeled to the rear wheels through either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic, offering drivers a choice in how they experience the immense power.
Recognizing the need for improved handling to harness such power, Saleen has not neglected the suspension and tires. The Black Label features Racecraft Specific Rate springs, struts, rear shocks, and sway bars, providing a balanced and responsive driving experience. For those seeking even sharper handling, optional adjustable coil-over suspension and R-Code Racecraft Suspension Components are available.
In addition to performance upgrades, Saleen has also focused on enhancing the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal and aerodynamic performance. The exterior receives several aerodynamic enhancements, including a sculpted hood with center vents, side vents, a new front bumper, muscular side skirts, and a rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and prominent rear wing. These enhancements not only improve airflow but also add a touch of aggressiveness to the Mustang’s appearance.
Inside the cabin, the Saleen 302 Black Label receives special updates to elevate the driving experience. Saleen Sport Seating with Alcantara/leather upholstery, embroidered headrests, plush double stitching on the dashboard, and a Saleen steering wheel with special badging enhance the luxury feel of the interior.
With a starting price of $108,990 before options, the Saleen 302 Black Label Ford Mustang offers a comprehensive package of performance, handling, and luxury. It represents Saleen’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering and delivering an unparalleled driving experience to enthusiasts.
