Steve Saleen ponies up, celebrates 25 years in the business and 45 years of Mustangs with 2010 SMS 460 Mustang

Orange County, California. (April 17, 2009) Steve Saleen, his name being synonymous
with fast Mustangs, would not be Steve if he kept his hands off Ford's newest pony. On the
occasion of the 45th anniversary of the launch of the original Mustang in 1964, and in
reflection on his 25 year association with America's iconic sports car, Steve celebrates with
Mustang aficionados from around the world in launching first sketches of the 2010 SMS 460
and SMS 460X Mustangs at the 45th Anniversary Celebrations in Birmingham, Alabama.

Instantly recognizable as Steve Saleen's work, the new SMS 460 Mustangs feature a host of visual and technical highlights that set them apart from the crowd.
"I previewed many of the features of my newest Mustang with the 25th anniversary car I showed
last year," says SMS Supercars CEO and President Steve Saleen.
The front fascia treatment, the SMS Red Butterfly Air Induction HoodTM, the front and side splitters, the rear fascia and diffuser with the high down- force rear wing showed the way Steve Saleen is looking at Mustangs today. "You have to go with the times. While the Mustang remains an icon, Ford has done a very good job with the 2010 model. I wanted to interpret it using my signature to create the latest Steve Saleen
version of this American favorite."

The SMS 460 Mustang offers a 4.6 liter V8 engine featuring a minimum 470 hp and 427 ft-lb
of torque, while the even more powerful SMS 460X Mustang engine with all new internal and
headwork delivers 655 hp and 600 ft-lb out of the enlarged 5.0 liter V8. Both use the new
(patent pending) SMS 296 Supercharger presented last week at the New York International
Auto Show. Transmission options are a 5-speed automatic or 5-speed manual on the 460 or
a 6-speed SMST manual on the top of the line 460X.

Performance for both cars is expectedly striking. The 460 Mustang accelerates from 0 to 60
in the low 4 seconds, while the 460X manages the same in the lower 4's. In addition to
engine output, handling, roadholding and braking play an equally important role. The 2010
SMS 460 Mustangs feature Steve's signature Watt's linkage suspension with all-new
geometry. New SMS brakes front and rear deliver impressive stopping power to match the
jaw-dropping performance.

The interior with all-new Alcantara and leather SMS performance seats features the patented
Signature Series chevron stripes. Dash and interior panels are covered in hand-stitched
high-quality leather. Multiple seat chevron and SMS unique exterior colors are available.

Don't like the chrome vents on the hood, but otherwise nice. Saw them on the SMS Challenger and didn't like them either.

I like it. But I would rather have some fog lights down there instead of brake vents. My brakes aren't gonna see that kind of heavyduty use that those will come in handy for.

Lol I agree with you on the brake ducts my cousin thought they were mufflers I had a good laugh at that but the hood vents shouldn be a problem you can always sand em down and paint it.
