Saleen releases Gurney Signature Edition Mustang
Saleen releases Gurney Signature Edition Mustang
Saleen has partnered with American racing legend Dan Gurney to develop a limited edition Ford Mustang, which was unveiled today at the New York Auto Show. The car is called the Gurney Signature Edition and it’s been designed to mimic Dan’s original 1969 Trans Am series Mustang racer. It’s characterized by a unique ‘duck bill’ rear spoiler and ‘stinger’ hood and features trademark Gurney Eagle insignias throughout the interior.
All Gurney Signature Edition vehicles feature Saleen’s 465hp supercharged 4.6L engine, the same unit found in the S281 model. The cars also come with a host of other performance accessories including a short throw shifter and 3.73 Max Grip rear axle.
With input from Gurney himself, engineers also installed a specially tuned Racecraft suspension, Generation-II Watts-Link rear set-up, and a custom two-tone interior with either red or blue Alcantara seats. Stopping power comes from 12.4in vented discs up front and smaller 11.8in discs out the back. These reside within 20in powder-coated wheels wrapped with high-performance Pirelli Corsa tires.
Production will be limited to just 300 cars and each will feature Dan Gurney’s signature on the center of the dash.

tires are wildly inadequate (narrow) the car sits up like a $X$ pickup and why would anyone do alecantra leather striped inserts in a car like this? get a brain and have RECARO do the seats for you, heck, then stitch them in RED LEATHER and while you're at it, kill the "shoe box" they are using for a center console, and AFTER that, maybe a steering wheel that doesn't look like it came from K-Mart? do the door panels in leather as well. if you're going to do an upgraded car, do an upgraded car. this looks CHEAP all around and it doesn't have to.

"With input from Gurney himself"
Answer to your guys question about the ride height. Another mustang variant designed by an old fart.
Better question is how many more mustang variants can this plannet suffer? Are we done yet?
