Saleen Championship Edition Mustangs
Saleen and General Tire Reunite
CORONA, CA-(Marketwired - Jun 1, 2017) - Steve Saleen, CEO of
Saleen Automotive, Inc. (OTCQB: SLNN) announces the 30-Year
Championship Commemorative Edition with both a street and race
version, featuring a renewed partnership with General Tire. These
Black Label special editions celebrate the 1987 Driver,
Manufacturer, Team, and Tire SCCA ESCORT Endurance Championships
won by Saleen's race team.
General Tire, which was essential to the success of Saleen
Automotive race teams in the 1980s, will once again join forces
with Saleen as a sponsor of these vehicles. These special Mustangs
will sport Saleen's signature white wheels with new General Tire
ultra-high performance G-MAX-RS. "We are extremely proud to
introduce the first summer tire for General with such a legendary
brand as Saleen," stated Travis Roffler, director of marketing for
General Tire. "The new ultra-high performance G-MAX RS is a tire
that we have been anticipating for a several years. Our dealers
have asked for it and we know the market is ready for it. This new
Saleen Mustang is a perfect match for the G-MAX RS."
The special edition Mustangs will be equipped with a 3.2L Liquid
Cooled supercharger, producing 730HP in the street version and a
whopping 750HP in the track car. Saleen will be introducing a brand
new exhaust system engineered for the Saleen Black Labels along
with a competition shifter. The race version will also be equipped
with rear-seat delete, a 4-point roll cage, 4-point harness,
upgraded radiator, and much more.
Continuing with Saleen's historic racecar designs, also included
will be the Saleen trademark white wheels with custom yellow,
black, and white Saleen graphics, along with special badging.
Saleen will also be bringing back their Racecraft Suspension,
including special camber caster plates.
The Commemorative Saleen Mustangs will be introduced to the
press within the next month. Plans for the media event include the
presence of the 1987 Championship Team drivers. Production of the
Commemorative Edition begins in September 2017.
