This brochure is dedicated to the Saleen 1 team that helped to make this car a reality. 1 PERFORMANCE REDEFINED 800.888.8945 • Corona, California • www.saleen.com A Sports Car with Super Car Credentials With almost 35 years of experience building performance vehicles, Saleen is well known for creating cars and trucks that promise plenty – and deliver even more. The new Saleen 1 builds on the legacy of the revolutionary Saleen S7. The achievements of the S7 are written in the record books of every major racecourse in the world for its domination over all other marques. The Saleen 1 represents the continuation of that tradition. This is a modern performance car that is at home on the track or on the street with advanced electronics, state-of-the-art suspension design and the power to take it to speed in seconds. The Science of Speed Sure, it is easy to bury the needle and go fast in a straight line, but it takes the understanding of aerodynamics, proper shock valving, the coefficient of friction, L/D, and a whole lot more to be efficient. Saleen is no stranger to engineering something to perform at the highest level. Their expansive racing history taught them everything they need to know. At Saleen, race suits combine with lab coats to ensure that every vehicle they build will survive the rigors of being driven regardless of the location. The exterior contours aren’t there just for looks. They are designed and engineered to help the Saleen 1 slip smoothly through the air. Wind tunnel testing, fluid dynamics, crash testing, laminar flow, emissions analytics and much more go into the meticulous engineering process that Saleen vehicles endure before they receive the stamp of approval. It doesn’t take a scientist to go fast, but it takes one to go fast properly. A Shape that Re-Invents Styling The Saleen 1 design is the perfect blend of timeless hours dedicated to creating one of the world’s great automotive shapes. While the carbon fiber body reduces overall vehicle weight by a minimum of 20% over steel or fiberglass, it increases the degree of difficulty for mass production of the Saleen 1 by a factor of 10. But if building a landmark car was easy, then everyone would attempt it. Designer and namesake Steve Saleen was looking for a body that would entice the interest of every performance enthusiast in the world. But in addition, Saleen wanted more. The Saleen 1 is a car that is not only pleasing to look at but purposely built, saving weight where possible, adding contours when it resulted in greater downforce and reduced high speed lift. The Saleen 1 is the perfect balance of front to rear weight bias (42F/58R) making it a true road car that proved the lessons learned from almost 35 years of car building experience. A Mid-Engined Marvel A vehicle’s ultimate performance is tightly linked to the power and torque generated by the engine. Going hand in hand with engine output, the vehicle’s power to weight ratio is a key factor, the lighter the package, the faster the delivery. The Saleen 1 features a high output, inline four-cylinder, turbocharged, Saleen-designed engine kicking out 450 horsepower. Combined with the lightweight chassis and carbon fiber body, the Saleen 1 power-to-weight ratio achieves elite performance status! Elegant Confines As an original concept by one of the world’s most innovative car designers, the Saleen 1 interior is constructed to deliver optimum control, safety and comfort. From the leather seating to the clean, bold, racing-inspired instrumentation, the Saleen 1 is true perfection. Championship Heritage 383 races, 249 podiums, 27 poles, 126 fastest laps, 119 wins, 13 championships and victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Saleen race cars do one thing well, win. The same racing DNA goes into every production vehicle manufactured by Saleen Automotive. It was on the racetrack that Saleen engineers learned how to master the exacting science of aerodynamics and refine vehicle handling and drivetrain performance. Using the lessons they learned on track, Saleen is able to build vehicles that exhibit both fingertip control on the racetrack and street manners that make them a delight in every day driving. It is this ability to take the input from the operator and, without complaint, execute the commands with perfection. This is what sets Saleen vehicles apart from the rest. From pit lane to car pool lane, Saleen has the heritage and winning legacy that guarantees authenticity.
