SMS Ford Mustang 25th Anniversary


Even though Steve Saleen and Saleen Inc. parted ways last year, the 59-year-old continues to work on Ford Mustang projects through his newly founded company SMS Limited. The Ford Mustang 25th Anniversary Concept, which was created by Saleen in celebration of his 25th anniversary in the niche manufacturing business, is the company’s first actual vehicle. Though SMS doesn’t intend to put the Mustang concept into production, it demonstrates the company’s capabilities.

The Mustang concept features a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that develops 720Hp at the crank and 612Hp at the rear wheels. Other mechanical upgrades include the cross-drilled brakes and the billet aluminium watts link suspension. Saleen enhanced the Mustang’s looks with an aggressive bodykit as well as with a few unique details like the LED taillight and the induction system on the hood scoop that allows the butterflies to crack open under throttle.

2007 SSC Ultimate Aero

The world's faster production car since September 2007. Built by, the Americans, that's a surprise. SSC which stands for Shelby Super Cars beat the Bugatti Veyron by 2.83 seconds. Not bad, in my opinion I don't like the styling of the Ultimate Aero, it is old and ugly, also the Bugatti, I believe it needs to be something better for the amount you are paying. The Ultimate Aero is about 1 million less than the Bugatti. Also it boasts with better technology, a Twin Turbo V8 engine which out performs the Bugatti's V12.
