The Original Saleen Mustang S281 Extreme
The Saleen Mustang S281 Extreme belongs to the fifth generation of the Ford Mustang, which was produced from 2005 to 2014. This generation of the Mustang was a significant step in terms of design and performance, inspired by the classic Mustangs of the 1960s. The S281 Extreme variant received extensive modifications from the company Saleen. Founded in 1983 in the USA, Saleen has since been known for their high-performance and customized vehicles. The S281 Extreme was developed to satisfy demanding car enthusiasts by offering performance, design, and a unique driving experience.
Technical Details of the Saleen Mustang S281 Extreme
The Saleen Mustang S281 Extreme is equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine that delivers up to 550 horsepower thanks to a high-performance compressor. The vehicle features a special exhaust system that produces the typical deep sound of a Saleen, and it has been equipped with modified suspension to support a sporty driving style. The braking system has also been upgraded to meet the increased performance demands. In developing the S281 Extreme, engineers Steve Saleen and Phil Frank had a significant influence on the design and technical implementation of this model. The body received special aerodynamic elements such as a front spoiler, side skirts, and a rear spoiler.
