There are some cars that just don’t seem to die out or fade out no matter what is going on in the world. Steve Saleen can be credited for many of the best cars that have been around over the years and even though he says that he is retired we all knew deep down that this wouldn’t last. After all you can’t get rid of some of the best cars on the market.
Steve Saleen has created a new company – the SMS. It’s debut will be the SMS Twenty Fifth Anniversary Mustang concept. As with any Saleen car this new concept will be incredibly strong and fast. It will come equipped with a 5.0 liter V8 engine that pushes out 720 horsepower when at the crank and 612 in the rear wheels. The torque is rated at 670 pound-feet.
“My Anniversary cars were always the most powerful of the breed and this car continues that tradition,” boasts Saleen. He has not released any specific numbers yet on how fast the car can rev from 0-60 – but he did give us a little teaser when he said that the concept has “nearly the same levels of performance” as the legendary S& Twin Turbo.
Visually, the Concept has undergone a number of striking changes, notably including a “light blade” lighting system and sequential rear turn signals. There are functional carbon fiber pieces and numerous billet aluminum design accents. The vehicle is completed with SMS “Chromosome Silver” paint with Saleen’s signature anniversary yellow, white, and black graphic accents.
While this car is being dubbed a concept it would not surprise us to see it on the market within the next two years.
