The supercharged version of the S281 was introduced in 1999 and quickly became known as “The Bad Boy on the Block.” Its level of performance delighted Saleen customers and dismayed the competition, who mostly came to recognize this Saleen model only from the rear . . . and disappearing into the distance. The supercharged S281 quickly reached a sales level equal to its normally aspirated S281 counterpart.
Last year the 281 Supercharged received several significant changes, including a Series IV twin-screw intercooled supercharger that boosted performance up to a necksnapping 375 bhp at 5,800 rpm and 415 lb-ft of torque at 3,500. That level of performance provides the supercharged S281 driver a 0-60 time of 4.7 sec, with the quarter mile flashing by at 13 sec flat at about 108 mph.
This model also features a Saleen twin gauge pod with readouts for boost and air temperature.
New features for 2004 include a Saleen performance center exhaust system, an even more stylish rear fascia and a Saleen S281 Extreme rear wing.
Despite the industry-leading performance, the supercharged S281 provides consumers a high level of value at a price of $43,322 for the Coupe and $47,381 for the Convertible
