Anyone have any sketches, info, or anything on the new Saleen model? I think the 05-09's looked amazing, but I am waiting to see what the 2010 version looks like before I pull the trigger on my next car. I am trying to get ahold of someone at Saleen to dish some info, I will report back with my findings. Till then, can anyone else scrounge up anything? Been luking for a while now, awesome site guys! First post!

 

Welcome!

I have heard nothing official yet other than Saleen is due to get a 2010 for development.... if they haven't got one already.

 

 

Saleen has said that they will have a 2010 Saleen Mustang available at launch, but there has been no other information.

 

I'll try to come up with something

 

with all of the aftermarket tuners and body part companies involved with this car...i cant believe that this many people can keep a secret.

 

EDIT: updated and refined pic!

 

!very nice. like the front fascia as well. cant wait for a refined one. ill set it as my background!!

 

I hope you enjoy this one zooming across your desktop. Always makes me proud as an artist to know that my work is enjoyed by others! Thank you.

 

Now this is just unfair! I can't see the picture cause it's blocking that site here at work!
Thanks for the welcoming guys!

 

Anyone come up with anything? Saleen never got back with me...

to further elaborate on that the CEO of Saleen told me that the first model will most likely be a RaceCraft model; Im assuming because it would have little, if any, body alterations and considering that the platform will be the same one could assume that many of the performance mods could easily carry over. So in theory they could very quickly come out with this version.

I was also told that one of the first things that they will be looking into changing is the rear end as he did not like the look of the 2010 rear, specifically the tail lights, at all.

 

As for tails, I hope they do something similar to the light blade system they used on the SMS model. I also love the stretched look the extensions gave it on the 05-09 models, I imagine they'll probly do something similar to this new one, just a bit more curvy. Add new tails, the stretched look, and a nice set of new wheels, and I'll be sold over a GT. Can't wait to see one, I'm more excited about what Saleen does to it than what Ford has done.

 

The Light Blades are pretty cool.

Keep in mind, as we currently speak, SMS and Saleen Inc are two separate entities. What is seen on an SMS vehicle will be unique to that company.

With the economy the way it is, 2010 models from both companies could be delayed.

Saleen Inc is trying to figure the future, and SMS needs recongized distribution.

 

Maybe not for long since Saleen is up for sale according to Autoblog. Steve should buy it back if he can. However, he needs someone good to run it as they haven't shaken the poor customer support rep yet.

 

Yeah thats the only thing that sucks about Saleen. I emailed them about the S5S Raptor Concept and I never even got so much as an automated response back. Just terrible, and I REALLY WANTED to see the Raptor in production too, even though the SVT version is nice lol

 

Tried it again...

 

Now the waiting game begins on this... Can't wait to see Saleen clean up the rear end and choppy flow! I hope they do custom tails too.

 

I wonder if we'll see the Saleen at the LA auto show?

 

You will not. Saleen wouldn't crash Ford's party.
