Vehicle Description
The Ford Mustang Saleen - many call it the ultimate Mustang. It has
more power, more attitude, and more exclusivity than the others.
Add to the Saleen a special edition package and these cars will
hold their values much better than standard Mustangs. If you're
looking for the best of the best, the top dog in the Saleen
heritage, this is it - Number 8 of a mere 25 - 2008 Saleen S302
Sterling Edition.

As you approach this car you'll notice the super sharp two-tone
sterling clear coat paint finish. It's a special color
commemorating an anniversary year for Saleen and it's absolutely
gorgeous. Light reflecting off the finish reminds us of show room
condition! As you'd expect from a car of such low miles, the glass
and all lenses are in excellent condition. A carbon fiber wind
splitter and rear air diffuser enhance the aerodynamics. Gripping
the road and completing the look, the car rides on unique 20 inch
Sterling Edition forged Durabright split 5-spoke wheels.
The interior brings us the same joy as does the exterior. The black
Alcantara and leather look absolutely gorgeous. Custom stitching on
the seats and dash, along with the Saleen embroidered logos, are as
cool as it gets. All the switches and controls work as expected. We
found no tears or scratches on the interior. A Passport Radar Laser
system is installed if you're interested in pushing the pedal to
metal.
And speaking of pushing the pedal, under the hood you'll be
impressed. The 5 liter 3-valve V8 produces 620 HP, 600 lb-ft
torque. With the help of a twin-screw supercharger and stainless
exhaust, twisting the key to hear those horses rumble gets us
excited!
Here's the press release from Saleen:
The phrase "Saving the best for last" just got an exclamation
point. Just when it appeared all the North American International
Auto Show reveals were complete, Saleen Automotive unveiled its
25th Anniversary Sterling Edition Ford Mustang. "At Saleen,
automotive passion is more than a catch phrase, it is a lifestyle,"
said Saleen General Manager, Marques McCammon. "Showcasing our
Sterling Edition Ford Mustang at today's Sterling VIP Preview is a
demonstration of the things that reflect the way our buyers live.
They have a high sense of style, a love for all things performance
and an affinity for the exclusive. That is the very theme of the
VIP Preview event." The Sterling VIP Preview was a night full of
announcements from Saleen. Among the more significant was the
announced move of the Saleen World Headquarters from Irvine,
California to Troy, Michigan. "This is a strategic move for the
company," said Saleen CEO, Paul Wilbur. "Our Troy facility has one
of the most sophisticated low volume paint facilities in North
America. When you combine that with the phenomenal automotive
talent pool that is available in Michigan, it is a natural step."
The executive stated that Saleen will maintain an advanced
engineering and administrative staff in the "Golden State" to
support ongoing operations, but vision would be driven from
Detroit. No night with Saleen is complete without product and the
Sterling VIP Preview was no exception. To commemorate 25 years of
producing high performance specialty vehicles, Saleen unveiled the
Sterling Edition S302E. This 25 unit limited edition version of the
Saleen flagship car will deliver the patented blend of Saleen
style, performance and exclusivity that can only be rivaled by
Saleen's own S7. "The Sterling Edition S302E is the cream of the
crop," said Saleen General Manger, Marques McCammon. "Saleen is
about details and we left none to chance when we created this car.
From the hand painted graphics, to the 16 oz genuine sterling
silver serialized dash plaque, this car has it all. This is the
very definition of a 100-point car."
Exterior: Each badge is brushed billet, milled with the 25th
Anniversary wreath. The car rides on unique 20 inch forged aluminum
alloy wheels with a state of the art DurabrightTM corrosion
resistant coating. The hand painted gunsight exterior accent aims
your attention from the rear of the car to the 25th Anniversary
wreath that adorns the hood. The Saleen engineered front carbon
wind splitter and rear air diffuser was designed to enhance the
aerodynamics of the vehicle. The vehicles sub 4 second 0-60
performance is arrested by massive 15 inch cross drilled vented
rotors that are also unique to the "Sterling Edition".
The interior of the car is wrapped in luxurious black Alcantara and
leather, with silver accent stitching on the door inserts, dash and
center console. To commemorate the 25th anniversary, a genuine
sterling silver serialized medallion adorns the instrument panel.
To insure that the driver can always stay connected, it includes a
navigation system and iPod connector. The car's 620 horses are
called into action at the simple push of a button by virtue of the
console mounted push button starter, offered for the first time on
an E car in this special edition model.
