The S281 is a range of modified Ford Mustangs by Saleen, with the 2000 model being a derivate of the fourth generation Mustang, and a preceded model – the Saleen S281 E – derived from the fifth generation Mustang.<\/p>\n
Based on the Mustang GT, it has a 4.6 liter single overhead camshaft V8 engine with a roots-type supercharger that increases power to 365 hp (272 kW). Other notable upgrades include a full body kit, bespoke suspension, 18 inch wheels and close-ratio gearbox.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no secret that Saleen\u2019s creations are, for the most part, based on existing Ford models and then honed to perfection as trackday weapons. Saleen\u2019s had a long time to perfect this art, and the S281\u2019s unflappable handling (despite retaining the ancient rear live axle setup most other have abandoned) speaks to their mastery. No drag-only proposition, the S281 demolishes the skidpad and is perfectly content blasting through corners. It wouldn\u2019t be a Saleen if there wasn\u2019t some attention paid to the engine, and in this car\u2019s case it\u2019s the addition of a supercharger and intercooler that makes a huge difference in terms of available torque. The harder the S281 is pushed, the faster it wants to go, so the 0-60 mph numbers only tell part of the tale (although its 5 second run to 60 isn\u2019t slow by any measure). Saleen\u2019s body modifications also add aggression to the mustang\u2019s lines, and a large 2.5-inch exhaust system makes all the right noises. It\u2019s like a Mustang, but better.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28881,"template":"","vehica_23442":[2480],"vehica_6659":[2625],"vehica_6660":[2671],"vehica_6655":[2320],"vehica_23443":[2495],"vehica_23545":[2508],"vehica_6670":[],"vehica_23445":[2556],"vehica_23531":[2515],"class_list":["post-28886","vehica_car","type-vehica_car","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","vehica_23442-assetto-corsa","vehica_6659-saleen","vehica_6660-s281","vehica_6655-coupe","vehica_23443-traseira-rwd","vehica_23545-manual","vehica_23445-101creative","vehica_23531-track"],"acf":[],"vehica_14696":"2000","vehica_23444":"603","vehica_23446":"856","vehica_23447":"1335","vehica_23448":"2.21","vehica_23449":"0","vehica_23534":"1.0","vehica_23455":"12","vehica_23456":["https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Saleen-S281-2000-Track_00_zrace_red.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Saleen-S281-2000-Track_01_black.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Saleen-S281-2000-Track_01_oxford_white.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Saleen-S281-2000-Track_03_deep_impact_blue_metallic.jpg","https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Saleen-S281-2000-Track_04_ingot_silver_metallic.jpg"],"vehica_28233":"","vehica_28602":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cars\/28886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cars"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vehica_car"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"vehica_23442","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23442?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6659","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6659?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6660","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6660?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6655","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6655?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23443","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23443?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23545","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23545?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_6670","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_6670?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23445","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23445?post=28886"},{"taxonomy":"vehica_23531","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brasilsimulatormods.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vehica_23531?post=28886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
