(from SMS Press
Release) Steve Saleen presents: World Premiere of 2011 SMS
302 Mustang Corona, California. (April 16, 2010) On the day before
the 46th anniversary of the debut of the Ford Mustang, which was
launched on April 17, 1964, Steve Saleen, the man whose name has
become synonymous with high performance Mustangs, launched his most
eagerly awaited SMS Signature Series cars, the 2011 SMS 302 Mustang.
SMS Supercars President
and CEO Steve Saleen says: “Many automotive enthusiasts have
embraced our SMS 570 Challenger, but I know our core fans have been
waiting for the first Mustang to come from the new company, SMS
Supercars. I am thrilled to be able to end the suspense today. With
the new 5.0L 2011 Mustang arriving at dealerships shortly, it was
appropriate for us to act swiftly and present our SMS 302 Mustang
based on this early model year change. We know the 302 name will
excite any Mustang fan as well”.
After the successful
launch of the 2010 SMS 570 Challenger in the Spring of 2009, the
2011 SMS 302 Mustang represents the second in the trio of SMS
American Supercars, which will be followed by the introduction of
the 2011 SMS 620 Camaro later this year. At first, two SMS 302
versions will be offered, the SMS 302 4V with a normally aspirated
5.0L engine, followed by the SMS 302 SC, using the patented SMS 296
SuperchargerTM.
Continues Steve: “Our
line of SMS Mustangs will be the only Mustangs authorized to bear my
name, to use the benefit of my heritage and to incorporate
performance innovations derived from my over thirty years of racing
and manufacturing experience. With the extensive design,
development, manufacturing, certification and warranty coverage that
we put into each vehicle, the government agencies all recognize SMS
as the manufacturer of record for these cars”.
Power
The SMS 302 4V utilizes
the all-new normally aspirated twin overhead cam 5.0L V8 engine with
over 440 hp and 400 ft-lb of torque. This is accomplished with an
all-new 4-valve head design, a high flow exhaust system, an
optimized pulley drive system, premium fuel calibration and
performance filtration.
The SMS 302SC will pump
out over 535 hp and 450 ft-lb of torque, thanks to the use of the
SMS patent pending 296 Supercharger System with Asymmetric
Multi-Lobe Screws, SMS Six-PackTM Intercooler System and SMS patent
pending Duo-Path Induction. Transmission options for both are a
6-speed Automatic or a 6-Speed TR3650 Manual.
Performance
The 2011 SMS 302 4V will
accelerate from 0-60 in under 4.5 seconds and pass the quarter mile
in 13.5 seconds at a speed of 116 mph. The SMS 302SC numbers are
even more impressive with a 4.3 second 0-60 and a quarter mile in
12.1 seconds at 119 mph.
Suspension
Both SMS 302 models come
standard with the new and unique SMS S4 High Performance Suspension,
comprising of S4 Specific Rate Front and Rear Springs, S4 Front
Struts, S4 Rear Shocks, S4 Front and Rear Sway Bars with High
Durometer Pivot Bushings and the all-new SMS unique S4 Watts Link
rear suspension.
Both models utilize
Pirelli PZero High Performance 275/35ZR 20 tires on 20” x 9” 5-spoke
alloy wheels at the front and 275/40ZR 20 tires on 20” x 10” 5-spoke
alloy wheels at the rear. The brakes with ABS Cross Drilled Rotors,
Powder Coated Calipers and High Performance Racing pads deliver
impressive stopping power to match the jaw-dropping acceleration.
Design
The SMS 302 has a
striking design that separates it from any other vehicle in the
market. Chief Creative Officer of SMS, Phil Frank notes, "The SMS
302 is a dramatic, timeless and iconic visual statement that
confidently leads the pack, continuing the evolution of the image of
the SMS brand." The sculpted front fascia utilizes a high volume
lower radiator intake with brake ducts and an integrated front
splitter with ducting for supercharged models. The striking new hood
differentiates the car with its chrome trimmed heat extraction
grilles. Available for either model as an option is the patented SMS
Red ButterflyTM Center Ram Air Induction which debuted in 2008 on
the SMS 25th Anniversary Mustang Concept. Notes Steve, “When those
butterflies crack open under throttle, people stop and stare.“
The bold side skirts
echo the new Mustang’s upper spear shape in the fenders while
flowing seamlessly into the deep sculpting of the vented rear
fascia. The high downforce rear diffuser includes a rear Formula
One-style rain light in reference to Steve’s racing pedigree. The
most dramatic element of the SMS 302 is the transformation of the
rear of the car through the integration of the rear fascia, rear
fender caps and the trunk lid spoiler; which creates a longer
silhouette and its exotic car good looks and makes the SMS 302
unmistakably a Steve Saleen product.
Interior
The interior with
all-new Alcantara and leather SMS performance seats with the
patented Signature Series chevron stripes, two-tone leather chevron
door inserts, a leather-wrapped billet aluminum shift knob and
leather wrapped steering wheel set the SMS 302 apart from lesser
offerings. Instrumentation features a 200 mph gauge cluster and a
supercharger gauge pod with boost and charge air temperature gauges
for the SMS 302 SC. Standard features include a color keyed center
console, a powerful Shaker 500 Stereo with SYNC® and a 276 Watt
amplifier, aluminum SMS door sill plates and embroidered model
designated floor mats to give the interior its finishing touch.
Tailor Made Options
SMS offers it’s
discerning customers a wide range of SMS Tailor Made options,
including a dozen unique show car paint colors such as Burnout
Black, Tire Smoke White, Sour Grape Green, Plum Insane, Pineapple
Express Yellow and Maliblue to name a few. Customers can further
personalize their car’s interior in matching colors for the seat
Signature Series chevrons and stitching if so desired.
Authenticity
Through the years,
Steve’s cars have become collector’s items and many have held or
even gained value due to their exclusivity and authenticity. After
passing the extensive quality control and dynamic driving test, each
SMS 302 is personally signed by Steve and then receives its matching
serialized SMS VIN on the engine bay plaque, dash plaque and front
bumper for authentication.
SMS 351X
While the SMS 302SC can
win a fight with almost anything on the road, another legendary
moniker is making its way back onto the road. Later this year, SMS
Supercars will add the SMS 351X model. Says Steve: “with even more
horsepower than the SMS 302SC, this supercharged beast will be the
pinnacle performer of any production Mustang. More information on
the SMS 351X will be released in the next few months”.
2010 SMS 460 and 460X
SMS is in the process of
completing the production run of 25 Limited Edition SMS 460 and 460X
Mustangs based on the 2010 model year. These unique collector’s
items are powered by a supercharged 4.6L V8 engine. All of them are
sold.
