2010 Saleen S281 Mustang teased ahead of SEMA debut
2010 Saleen S281 Mustang Preview - Click above for a high-res image gallery
Newly formed Saleen Performance Vehicles released their first 2010-based Mustang, the 435S, this past summer, but the lack of any significant design upgrades left us wanting something a little more. We knew an S281 model was soon to follow, and thanks to Saleen's Flickr page, we now know the car will make its debut at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. The three photos posted on the site actually provide a decent look at the front and rear of the car, and we especially like what's been done to the 2010 Stang's controversial rear with the elongated tail and the diffuser-style rear valence. Check back for full details and plenty of photos when we cover the 2010 Saleen S281 Mustang's live unveiling early next month. Thanks for the tip, Brandon!

i've always loved what saleen does with the relatively boring platform, and this looks like it's going to be one of the best.

I actually think all of the SMS cars are nicer than the Saleen cars released since he left

Why is the background moving in the first picture, but the car is not?

I think they're 2 different companies, Saleen himself left Saleen and formed SMS, but I thought Saleen went out of business.
I recall there being a big deal about Steve Saleen honoring Saleen warranties at the new company SMS.

The back looks fantastic.

Ditto. The new 'Stang really needs the black tailight filler panel.

Yuck! I think Saleens days are over...and have been for a few years now. There best designs were back during 94-04. The best Mustangs are still the traditional GT and Shelby GT500. Mustangs are awesome cars straight from Ford...but I cant help but hate all of the ones that are sold with Roush ans Saleen kits on them. There should not be all these after-market companies who offer dozens of styling versions of the Mustang. Keep the Mustang purely Ford in regards to looks. With that being said...I'll take a 2010 Mustang Shelby Convertible please.

Like their ever popular stock rear end?
