Saleen Automotive Delivers 730HP Saleen Mustang Police
Vehicle
CORONA, CA-(Marketwired - May 10, 2017) - Steve Saleen, CEO of
Saleen Automotive, Inc. (OTCQB: SLNN), delivered a Special Edition
Saleen Mustang Police Car to the Riverside Police Officers'
Association in Riverside, California, which represents the
Riverside Police Department's frontline Officers, Detectives, and
Sergeants. This specially built Saleen Mustang will be used to
bring awareness and attention to their fallen officers and
promotion and avocation of the Police Officers' Assistance Fund,
which provides financial assistance to officers' families in
Riverside and surrounding communities. It will also be a tool in
recruiting new officers, engaging the community, and generating a
cohesive camaraderie with Riverside Residents.
The Saleen Mustang boasts the latest in technology starting with
a whopping 730HP, powered by a twin-screw supercharger with a
unique exhaust. It sports a fully revised suspension for extreme
cornering, and wears Saleen big brakes, giving it ultimate
stopping. The interior is fitted with Saleen gauges and necessary
police equipment with full police lighting built into the cockpit
for better exterior aerodynamics. Wrapped in black and white
Riverside PD graphics, the Mustang sports a revised front end,
Saleen rear wing, and is equipped with the necessary siren and
external speakers. Steve Saleen stated, "This is one of the fastest
police vehicles ever built. It is one of the most exciting projects
Saleen Automotive has been involved in. If you are attempting to
elude the police in the Riverside Department's jurisdiction,
beware; your chances of getting away are quite slim."
Detective Aurelio Melendrez, who also serves as vice president
of the Riverside Police Officers' Association, said, "We are
excited and pleased to receive delivery of this Special Edition
Saleen Mustang. It brought incredible smiles to those in the
department who were on hand to take delivery. We are honored and
thrilled that Saleen Automotive has shown their support of the
Riverside Police Officers' Association/Riverside Police Department
in this way." Melendrez stated that the majority of police
officers' deaths across the country are attributed to automobile
accidents; after driving the Saleen Mustang he felt the vehicle was
the best accelerating, handling, and stopping (police) vehicle he
has ever driven. The technology that led to this vehicle's extreme
performance is something he hoped to see become used in a more
widespread format, to improve officer safety and vehicle response.
The Riverside PD employs roughly 350 men and women. Drivers of this
particular Saleen Mustang have been specially trained to handle the
speed, cornering, and overall handling. As with any tools assigned
to department employees, only those qualified will handle the car.
To date, Steve Saleen has trained a handful of department
employees. Melendrez feels Saleen's continued work building police
vehicles and training officers with this exceptional technology
would keep officers safe. He is hopeful to continue a collaborative
effort between Saleen and Riverside PD.
