For example, the Saleen S7 employs large engine-compartment vents on the sides and rear of the bodywork to help dissipate heat from its very high-output engine.

For example, players can download cars such as the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, Pagani Zonda, Porsche Carrera GT, Saleen S7 and the Need for Speed: Most Wanted BMW M3 GTR, even though these cars were built years after the game was made.

In early 2008, Saleen began reducing the non-engineering staff located in Irvine, California and consolidating operations in its Troy, Michigan manufacturing plant, relocating its official headquarters to that location.

Chris Theodore, previously in the position of CTO, was promoted to the position of CEO at Saleen on August 8, 2008 when Paul Wilbur vacated the position to pursue business opportunities outside of Saleen.

On August 12, 2008 Miedema Auctioneering held a 10 hour auction for Saleen Inc. at 6567 Sterling Drive South, Sterling Heights, MI 48312.

On August 18, 2008 Miedema Auctioneering executed a similar auction at Saleen Inc. 76 Fairbanks, Irvine, CA 92618

On November 11, 2008, Saleen announced intentions for a sale of its corporate operations.

Shortly thereafter, the remainder of research and development operations ceased with the departure of the remaining Saleen engineering staff in December 2008.

* Saleen H281 SC Dan Gurney Limited Edition-A 2008 model year special edition run of 300 ( 100 Blue, 100 Red, 100 White ) Mustang-based vehicles sporting styling reminiscent of DG's 1969 Boss 302 Trans-Am racer.

The naturally aspirated mid-engine Saleen S7 was discontinued after the 2004 model year with the introduction of the Saleen S7TT although both editions are commonly referred to as the Saleen S7.

The Saleen SSC model in 1989 was based on this prototype though the color scheme was changed to white / yellow.

* Saleen S281-Based upon a Mustang GT ( or SVT Cobra ) with suspension upgrades and stock 4. 6L SOHC V8 ( 281 ci ), debuted in 1996 and became flagship model for Saleen with the largest production of all Saleen Vehicles.

The Saleen XP6 was an " unintentional " product model ; V6 Ford Explorer base vehicles were ordered accidentally and could not be returned to Ford, resulting in a financially driven decision to convert and sell the vehicles.

* Saleen S7 ( 2000 – 2004 )-This naturally aspirated version of the S7 was manufactured until the introduction of the S7 Twin Turbo for the 2005 model year

As of the 2007 model year, Saleen did not recertify the S7TT for EPA emissions, suggesting that manufacture of the United States street-legal version has terminated.

Each year up through the eighties, Saleen was able to produce a new record volume of cars.

John Spruill, having last served as domestic programs manager, resigned from Saleen in early June 2007 after a nine year tenure with the company to continue his career working with Saleen and Tally in a different business venture.

Only one car was prototyped as Saleen was not yet ready to produce that year.

* Saleen H302-SC-- Equipped with a Saleen forced-induction system, this version is an increased performance version of the H302 with options for some of the features that appeared on the S302PJ such as a Watts Link.

* Saleen S302-E-- Borrowing from the S302PJ, the S302E utilizes an engine derived from that used on the Limited Edition but equipped with a Saleen Series VI Supercharger to maximize power.

However, the business units associated with the S7 and S5S Raptor in addition to the paint operations ( including the Dodge Viper contract ) were integral components of Saleen not purchased in the sale.

While GT cars are at least in theory based on road going versions, some GT1 cars in the mid to late 1990s were effectively purpose-built sports-prototypes which spawned exotic production cars with homologation production limits of 25 cars ( for small manufacturers, such as Saleen ) or 100 cars ( for major manufacturers like Daimler AG ).

Saleen was an automotive original equipment manufacturer ( OEM ) and was the last American small car manufacturer bearing OEM status.
