Steve Saleen Presents SMS 25th Anniversary Mustang Concept
Steve Saleen has been creating performance cars for 25 years now. They have included the fastest production Mustang, the S302 Extreme, and the 200mph+ Saleen S7. Recently Saleen retired from Saleen Inc. before creating a new company SMS Limited. To celebrate a quarter of a century in the business Steve Saleen now presents us with the 25th anniversary Mustang Concept boasting a power output of 720hp and 670ft lbs. of torque .
Saleen commented "In celebration of my 25 years in the niche manufacturing business I wanted to create a personal car for myself that appropriately marks this very special Anniversary. The functional aesthetic innovations that we have developed are truly exceptional in every way. Though this car is not going to be for sale, it nevertheless demonstrates the technological advances present at SMS."
That awesome power comes courtesy of a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine found lurking beneath the carbon fibre bodywork. The interior gets a new two-tone custom made leather upholstery to enhance the exclusivity of the vehicle.

looks a bit to much to the nightrider, but looks nice
duhh, another special edition mustang.. i wonder how many different editions there are? 30?
This is stupid;why didnt they put some kind of xenon or better? ligths in the front !
If you look closer at the image, the SMS 25A features HID headlights. The same ones that came on the S281E.
Personaly...I think it's bitchin! I'm on my second Saleen S281SC and I love it!! If this was for sale....I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
That's impressively. Saleen did a great job on making the Mustang very special but even elegant and agressive. Especially the backend is cool. But you are right, it reminds a bit to knightrider

Steve you've outdone yourself this time. I told myself that nothing would top the 99-04 model Saleen S351's or the S7 but I was wrong. I dislike Ford vehicles unless your name preceeds them!!!!
