2015 Black Label Saleen Mustang Gets More Power Than You Thought

The 2015 Black Label Saleen Mustang is the most powerful Saleen Mustang ever made. Ever. At 730 horsepower and 600 lb-ft torque, that also makes it the most powerful Mustang you can buy in production right now.

Originally, it was promoted it as a 640-horsepower Mustang. All that got thrown out the window at this weekend’s introduction.

Of course, there’s a simple way to boost the performance of the Kenne-Bell twin-screw supercharger in the 5.0-liter engine. Just find 95 octane gas. According to Saleen that’s going to notch power up to 750 horses.

It’s a stunner with low profile tires perched on five-spoke alloy wheels. Building on its racing heritage, Saleen started off by raising the all-new, four-wheel, independent suspension for better handling.

“We have spent a lot of time with aerodynamics,” founder Steve Saleen said in his introductory remarks before a packed house at its headquarters in California. “We spent a lot of time on lift over drag.”

The interior has been resurfaced with calfskin. The interior also features Saleen signature white face gauges

It may be a Black Label Saleen Mustang but its color is a special hue of yellow called “California Sunset.” The perception of the color changes, Saleen claims, based on the strength of the sunlight.

The 2015 Saleen 302 Black Label will have a starting price of $73,214
