Power in the hands of few
Steve Saleen was a Formula Atlantic racing driver who founded Saleen Autosport in 1983 with three Mustangs and a belief that an American car could compete with Europe's best on a road course. The Saleen Mustang dominated SCCA racing through the 1980s, finishing 1-2-3 in 1988, and built the brand's reputation on motorsport credibility rather than straight-line numbers.
That credibility culminated in 2000 with the Saleen S7 — America's first true production supercar. Mid-engine, carbon-bodied, with a 7.0L V8 and butterfly doors, the S7 won four GT championships in 2001 and broke records at Le Mans. It remains a Saleen production car not based on an existing chassis. Today, Saleen is recognized as an Original Equipment Manufacturer, building modified Mustangs and the all-electric S1 alongside its motorsport heritage from its Corona, California headquarters.
