TROY, Mich., June 10, 2010 – Hot off its public debut at the All-Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA, last weekend, Saleen Performance Vehicles will bring its latest product – the 2011 Saleen S302 –to the Seventh Annual Aeromotive NMRA Ford Nationals this weekend in Milan, MI.

The Saleen S302 is based on the 2011 Ford Mustang 5.0 and builds on the Saleen tradition of offering limited-edition, high-performance vehicles for enthusiasts who are looking for an exhilarating driving experience, with refined drivability for real-world road conditions.

The NMRA event this weekend marks the Detroit area debut of the 2011 Saleen S302.  In addition to the S302, the Troy-based, high-performance car manufacturer will also showcase the 2010 Saleen S281, which was announced last year.   Both vehicles and product experts will be in the Brenspeed/Saleen display at Milan Dragway.

Earlier this year, Saleen Performance Vehicles partnered with Indiana-based Brenspeed and driver Brent White in a joint campaign of the 2010 Brenspeed/Saleen Speedlab racecar for nine NMRA events this season.  White will pilot his Brenspeed/Saleen Speedlab racecar this weekend at Milan. 

The racecar boasts a Brenspeed B302 engine and a Saleen Speedlab body kit upgrade.

The engine’s power output is boosted by the new Saleen Series 6.5 supercharger, tuned by Brenspeed, to achieve its 600-plus horsepower.  The new, all-aluminum B302 short block is available from Brenspeed.
