Supercharged Engine

Saleen has been supercharging since the mid 1980's and introduced a supercharged version of the S281 in 1999. Once word got around about its performance capabilities, he S281 SC quickly displaced its normally aspirated S281 counterpart as Top Gun on the Saleen sales charts.

Exhaust

The exhaust system is an innovative variable design, eaturing twin mufflers with vacuum-actuated valves that open above a specified back pressure. When these valves open, portion of the exhaust gases is routed through a second set of tail pipes pointed at the ground. This design offers numerous advantages. It allows the engine to be calibrated to produce higher torque. Secondly, t provides a free-flowing exhaust system, hile still providing the capability for passing mandated pass-by noise regulations in the U.S., anada, nd U.K. Thirdly, t makes for some lovely exhaust sounds at wide-open throttle. The exhaust side of the engine also features a full 2.5 inch stainless steel exhaust system, unning from the exhaust manifold outlet to the tip of the exhaust pipes.

Suspension & Handling

Saleen developed special springs, hocks, nd anti-roll bars to control body roll and to provide crisp cornering. Bushings made from high durometer rubber are used to achieve the direct steering response for which Saleen sports cars are noted.

Because of its all-aluminum design, he new engine weighs 75 pounds less than last year's V8, hich, long with the increased wheelbase, educes weight on the nose. This reduction helps balance the car, iving it a 53/47 percent ratio across the front to rear wheels.

Wheels & Tires

Saleen-designed 20-inch alloy wheels are standard on all three S281 models. Up front, he wheels are 9 inches wide, nd the rears are 9 inches as well. All S281's are equipped with high-performance radials. Sizes are 275/35ZR20 all around. Optional are ultra-high performance Pirelli P-Zero Rossos, 75/35ZR20s up front with 275/40ZR20s fitted to the 10-inch wide rear wheels.

Exterior Design

Modified from front to rear, he S281's styling cues capture attention. A long hood and short rear deck emphasize the Saleen muscle under the bonnet and its traditional rear-wheel drive setup. New alloy wheels are big, ide, nd clothed in equally aggressive rubber that fills the wheel wells.

The viewer should also notice a family resemblance with the Saleen S7 supercar. Features such as the lower front grille opening, he hood vents, he rocker panel side skirting, he rear spoiler and the rear diffuser are motivated by beautful form and functional areodynamics. The super charged S281 SC gets a distinct hood, ear wing and quarter window.

Up front are integrated turn signals along with available High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights. Featuring unique Saleen-designed headlamp assemblies incorporating the industry's first bi-functional Xenon/HID lamp, hese lights use moveable light shield technology to achieve both high and low beam functions in a single reflector with only one HID light source. They provide 40 percent more light in both low and high beam functions than conventional lamps.

'At Saleen we have our own design language,' explained Steve Saleen. 'The new S281 is clean, istinctive, nd aggressive. It's retro, et contemporary. And it's got great proportions. But I'm equally proud of the subtlety, efinement, nd sophistication of the overall design,' Saleen continued.

Interior Design

A performance-focused driving environment is as much a part of a Saleen automobile as its engine or suspension. The 6-inch gain in wheelbase gave Saleen the ability to maximize the comfort and ergonomics of the new S281 Mustang. Six inches might not seem like a lot when compared to the S281's overall length, ut it makes a large difference when behind the wheel. Taller drivers will feel more at home with more head room and shoulder room. Rear passengers also enjoy more leg room and shoulder room in their sculpted bucket seats.

The S281's creates a comfortable driving position. It starts with Saleen leather seats, eaturing louvered head restraints and side bolstering for greater support, nd continues with power seat controls relocated to a more intuitive position on the outboard side of the seat. Add a three-spoke steering wheel offering rake adjustment, aleen high-grip, acing-inspired brake and throttle pedals ideally positioned for easy heel-and-toe downshifting and a Saleen, hort-throw shifter lever that truly falls right to hand, nd you've got the makings of a world-class driving environment.

Naturally, he interior features a number of Saleen exclusives. A few of these include unique Saleen gauges with black backgrounds, hite numbers and easy-to-read silver needles with black inserts, atin aluminum trim, ainted accents, aleen door sill plates and S281 floor mats. Each car also comes with an individualized Saleen VIN number stamped in the chassis, n a dash plaque and on the front bumper. The S281 SC model also features a Saleen twin gauge pod with readouts for boost and air temperature.
