Supercharged 4.6L Powertrain & Mechanicals
Under the sculpted composite hood sits Saleen's engineered version of Ford's modular 4.6-liter 3-valve V8, rated at a stout 400 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque:

Twin-screw supercharger system integrated with a dual-stage water-to-air intercooler.

Saleen free-flowing dual exhaust system with signature center-exit stainless tips integrated into the rear fascia, producing an unmistakable supercharged exhaust note.

Tremec TR-3650 5-speed manual transmission shifting smoothly with a crisp short-throw linkage.

Ford 8.8-inch rear differential running an aggressive 3.55:1 final drive ratio for rapid off-the-line acceleration.

Saleen Racecraft performance suspension with upgraded springs, struts, sway bars, and bushings designed for flat cornering and high-speed stability.

Aerodynamics, Body & Stance
The exterior design of the S281 dramatically elevated the factory coupe body lines with fully functional aerodynamics and aggressive contours:

Factory Mineral Gray paint in outstanding condition throughout, maintaining a deep gloss across all panels.

Complete Saleen aero kit: custom front fascia with integrated driving lamps, louvered composite hood, side skirts, rear quarter window chevrons, rear fascia with center exhaust exit, and integrated rear spoiler.

Factory 20-inch Saleen 7-spoke alloy wheels finished in silver, wrapped in performance rubber, filling out the arches for that signature aggressive Saleen stance.

Cabin, Gauges & Premium Custom Audio Build ($5,000 Investment)
Inside, the cabin blends everyday modern comfort with exclusive Saleen performance touches alongside top-tier modern audio tech:

Dark Charcoal leather sport bucket seats featuring embossed Saleen logos and custom louvered headrests.

Dashboard-mounted Saleen dual gauge pod monitoring boost pressure and intercooler water temperature.

Unique 200-mph Saleen gauge cluster with white-faced dials.

Upgraded High-End Audio & Tech: The previous owner (who acquired the car in trade) invested nearly $5,000 just a couple months ago into a high-end sound system. It features an Alpine touchscreen head unit, integrated backup camera, and a custom removable rear speaker box that provides concert-quality audio while retaining trunk utility whenever needed.

Original Factory Radio Included: For the collector or purist who prefers 100% factory original cockpit spec, the original OEM radio unit was carefully preserved and is included with the vehicle.

Full power amenities including ice-cold air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, locks, mirrors, and keyless entry.

Condition & Collector Appeal
With only 6,145 miles driven from new and a clean Carfax, this S281-SC presents in near-showroom condition inside, outside, and underneath. Everything works exactly as intended, from the boost gauges to the electronics, and the supercharged 4.6L pulls strongly with instant boost response through all five gears. Whether you are looking for an investment-grade modern classic to add to a high-end stable or a thrilling weekend cruiser that turns heads everywhere it goes, this Saleen delivers on all fronts.
