It's been nearly a year since SMS Supercars first showed a rendering of their proposed 460 Mustang. And had nearly given up hope that it would ever come out. But sure enough, Steve Saleen and the rest of his crew have been hard at work developing the new SMS Mustang. That car, now named the 302 Mustang due to the V8's displacement change for 2011, was officially unveiled today at the company's headquarters in Corona, CA.

Two separate versions of the 302 Mustang will be offered, including a naturally aspirated base 4V model and a supercharged 302SC Mustang. The 4V will produce 440 horsepower thanks to a few powertrain tweaks, while the supercharged model will boast 535 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.

Both Mustangs will have a slew of standard features including the new SMS body kit, hood with heat-extracting grilles, 20-inch wheels and tires, upgraded suspension and brakes, and numerous interior appointments including Alcantara seats, 200 mph gauges, short-throw shifter and more. The styling appears to be a mix of the previous generation Saleen Mustang, also penned by SMS designer Phil Frank, along with the new design language featured on the SMS 570 Challenger. We especially like the elongated rear end that helps hide the awkward taillights, although we would probably do away with the massive spoiler.

As you'd expect from a Steve Saleen product, each model will offer impressive performance figures. SMS quotes a 0-60 mph time of under 4.5 seconds for the base 302 Mustang while the supercharged version can perform the same task in just 4.3 seconds. A higher performance model is also in the works, named the 351X Mustang, which we should learn more about in just a few months.

Pricing for both models is just about what we would expect, which is fairly expensive. The 302 4V starts at $54,990 while the 302SC Mustang will cost $64,990

  • steve saleen knows mustangs, long link to them .he also knows racing and that which makes a race horse run . not just plastic add ons.

  • I hope that for 10,000 more for the supercharged version you are getting more than just the added charger. Like beefed up internals or something. Cause otherwise they ARE ON DRUGS. No Supercharger is ten grand.... Unless were talking a 1800 hp stable charger like a Wieand Roots monster charger..

  • @generalgeorge1 Yea but you gotta wait 3 years to supercharge it. This is not just supercharged they have put great suspension and transmission as well you will never get all of them together for close to that price... Im not even talking about the cosmetics they made...

  • @SavLifeSkateboarding You must be one of them Gay Man boys
