Discover the Universe of Saleen Models
This collection allows you to explore the fascinating world of American sports cars through the creations of Steve Saleen. You will mainly find models from the category of Model coupes and Model roadsters , perfectly reflecting the sporty DNA of the brand.
Saleen Models are distinguished by their aggressive lines and exceptional performance , characteristics that manufacturers strive to reproduce with remarkable attention to detail. From the legendary S7 to the prepared versions of the Mustang, each model tells a particular story in the epic history of this Californian brand.
The Exciting Story of Saleen
The Saleen adventure began in 1983 when Steve Saleen , a former racing driver, decided to create his own car tuning company in California. Passionate about Ford Mustangs, he began by developing high-performance versions of this iconic American model, adding his personal touch to both the aesthetic and mechanical aspects.
The brand took on an international dimension with the development of the S7 in the early 2000s, the first supercar entirely designed by Saleen. This revolutionary car, with its V8 engine producing over 500 horsepower and its carbon fiber body, firmly established Saleen among the world's most prestigious sports car manufacturers.
Over the decades, Saleen has built a reputation for excellence in automotive tuning, particularly on Ford bases. The 1990s and 2000s marked the brand's peak with increasingly daring creations.
A Significant Anecdote
A fascinating anecdote perfectly illustrates the Saleen spirit: in 2000, Steve Saleen decided to break the speed record on the German autobahn with his S7. The challenge was considerable, as it required exceeding 300 km/h in real conditions on a road open to traffic. This technical and marketing feat demonstrates the brand's total commitment to pure performance.
This quest for excellence is also reflected in the approach of Saleen Model car collectors, who seek out these models for their rarity and their faithful representation of exceptional vehicles. Each Model then becomes a witness to an era when American automotive innovation rivaled the greatest European manufacturers.
