The 20th anniversary Saleen (SA-20) was shown to the public for the first time today during the Saleen Car Show at their headquarters in Irvine.
The car is stunning in person with the custom Pearl White paint. The interior receives some exclusive touches as well that really set these 10 cars apart from the “regular” S281s. You can read the details in the press release below.
I don’t have a way to host the pics, hence all the attachments.
Saleen Celebrates its 20th Anniversary With
the Unveiling of the SA-20
Irvine, Calif., August 29, 2003 – This year marks the 20th anniversary of Saleen, Inc., manufacturer of
premium, high-performance vehicles such as the Saleen Mustang, Saleen/bonspeed Thunderbird, Saleen
Focus and Saleen S7. In celebration of this event, Saleen is offering the ultimate in limited edition
vehicles: the SA-20 Speedster. The vehicle will be unveiled to the public at Saleen’s 7th Annual Car
Show at the company’s Irvine facility on Saturday, September 13th. The SA-20 epitomizes Saleen’s
philosophy; “Power in the Hands of a Few” with only ten of these special edition vehicles being
produced.
The SA-20 Speedster, based on the Saleen S281, will be available as a convertible only and will be
powered by a 375 HP, 4.6L V8 featuring a Saleen Series IV Screw Type Intercooled Supercharger and
Saleen PowerflashTM performance calibration system. The ten vehicles will be factory-custom painted
Pearl White with its Five Spoke 18” wheels painted to match. The SA-20 will feature Saleen’s brandnew,
never before seen 20th anniversary Tonneau cover with integrated light-bar design. In addition, the
vehicle will feature 20th anniversary black and yellow graphics, Saleen’s lightweight, vented, composite
hood, S281 Extreme Wing and S281 Extreme Rear Fascia with center exhaust. The interior of the SA-
20 will feature 20th anniversary special edition Saleen leather sport seating, console plaque, custom floor
mats and custom door panels.
The Saleen SA-20 will mark the third time Saleen has celebrated one of its anniversaries with the release
of a limited-edition vehicle. The company celebrated its 10th anniversary with the SA-10 and its 15th
anniversary with the SA-15. Each anniversary car was produced in limited quantities of ten. Both cars
are extremely rare and highly sought after.
For customers who order the SA-20 prior to Saleen’s 7th Annual Car Show on September 13th, purchase
includes airfare for two and one night’s lodging to be present for the public unveiling of the SA-20. SA-
20 owners will also dine with Steve Saleen where a private unveiling of the vehicle will be held the
evening before the car show. For more information on the SA-20, contact Lupe Baker, Director of
Vehicle Sales at (949) 597-3832 or [email protected].
