The package uses a Turbonetics single-turbo system that increase the output of the 4.6-liter V8 engine to an amazing 550 hp.

After a short preview, the Saleen S281 made its official debut today at SEMA Show. Based on the 2010 Ford Mustang, the S281 will be offered as a limited edition model, like most of the Saleen cars.
The exterior features an elegant design with an understated yet imposing grille and front fascia, and a refined treatment of the familiar Saleen extended rear fascia and trunk lid with a simple, elegant, integrated wing. The car sits on 20-inch, 7-spoke alloy wheels with Pirelli P-Zero Rosso high-performance tires.
The same elegance is being continued on the interior: new, leather sport seats with Ultra-Suede inserts, highlighted by chevron-like Ultra-Suede red tabs in the seatback bolsters, and unique treatments of the gauges, steering wheel, center console and shifter.
But that’s pretty much with the elegance, as under the hood there lies a real beast: a 4.6-liter V8 engine equipped with a Saleen Series VI.5 twin-screw supercharger and dual-stage intercooler that delivers a total of 485 hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque.
It seems that around Halloween people’s imagination is simply going crazy.Take this Mustang GT for example spotted in Ukraine, and they don’t even celebrate Halloween!
The car look like and an ex-murder’s car: it is painted with blood and their is an arm on the hood!

Apparently, even celebrities – you know, those people who seem to have everything - can still wish for something and have them come true.
Ford’s ‘10 Unleashed’ promotion found itself with an unlikely individual wishing to get a chance to sit behind the wheel of a 2010 Ford Mustang GT: Queen Latifah.
The comedienne/musician used the 10 Unleashed promo to ask Ford if she could use the Mustang GT as part of her latest music video for her new song ‘Fast Car’. As we can imagine, the free advertisement the music video would give Ford was enough reason for the company to grant Queen Latifah’s wishes. The go-ahead from Ford even prompted her to take driving lessons from NASCAR driver Colin Braun on how to tame the thoroughbred engine sitting under the hood of the Mustang GT.
And now, we’ve finally gotten our hands on the ‘Fast Car’ music video where, as promised, the Mustang GT played a pretty prominent role. Check it out.
Larry Shinoda was a great American automotive designer who was responsible for the original Boss 302 back in 1969. When it was created, the 5.0 Liter powered Mustang was the best handling blue oval pony car of all time and came with the now infamous shaker hood scoop and hockey stripes running the length of the vehicle. The Ford factory tuned Boss 302 was destined to compete in the SCCA’s Trans Am championship and was also the forerunner to the design of the 1970s muscle car. When Mr. Shinoda passed back in 1997 his daughter KAren kept her father’s spirit alive by founding Team Shinoda.
Team Shinoda has just revealed the first details about their 2010 BOSS Shinoda Mustang, a car riddled with the classic design cues of the original with an added 800 HP bonus. Serial number #001 is now up for sale on the online auction house eBay, so if a bright blue 2010 pony car complete with rally wheels and slats covering the rear window is something that you are interested in, then you can place a bid of your own, starting at $69,400.
Upgrades to the 2010 Mustang include a Paxton NOVI 2200 supercharger bolted to the 4.6 Liter fuel injected eight cylinder engine in order to extract a total of 800 HP from the Ford V8. On the outside, the BOSS gets the familiar side stripes that start at the hood and end near the bottom of each door as well as lettering on the hood. The BOSS sits on a set of 20 inch chrome Bullitt wheels that hark back to the 1960s as well as the rear spoiler, rear window louvers and black out panel between the tailights. However the 21st century touch can be seen in items like the Shinoda chin spoiler and Shinoda badging.
The 2010 Ford Mustang will be well represented at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas with over eight highly modified models to be unveiled at the world’s greatest tuner car show. The design house 3dCarbon will be on hand with the 2010 Boy Racer, Galpin Auto Sports will bring out a modified 2010 GT Convertible, the suspension manufacturer H&R will focus on personalized colorized wheels for the new Mustang while Paul’s High Performance will build a drag strip ready Mustang aimed at tackling the quarter mile. The Steeda Q350 will be both track tested and street legal by the time it makes it to the show and Street Scene Equipment will combine both power and style with their own take on the blue oval’s new pony car. Ford Racing’s factory driver and D1GP drifting champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. will bring the limited edition Mustang RTR-C to the show while Ford Vehicle Personalization will have their own metallic gold Mustang that is sure to wow the automotive enthusiasts at the south end of the strip in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
In order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the successful 1970 Mustang Boss 302, Ford Racing is unveiled the limited edition Ford Racing Boss 302R. There will be only 50 units each priced at $79,000.
Based on a 2010 Mustang, the Boss 302R will be powered by a 5.0-liter 4-valve motor producing an estimated 400 hp mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
This special edition will also be sold with a Grand-Am Homologation Package, priced at $129,000.
