The Saleen Performance Vehicles brand has had a tricky recent history, with the Saleen, Inc., business changing hands and names and seeing its business goals change from the days when Steve Saleen - now heading up SMS Supercars - was at the helm. But we haven't seen the last of the high-performance Mustangs from Saleen, with the new ownership announcing two new models on the way over the next year.

The first car is expected to roll onto the custom scene at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina later this month. No details on the cars are being teased ahead of their debut, but expect it to live up to the Saleen reputation.

“They are going to be very consistent with past products,” Saleen Performance Vehicles CEO Michael Shields told AutoWeek. “They are going to be a next generation.” More details are expected to be revealed at the event next week.

The second car won't come along until next spring at the earliest. Both cars are expected to feature extensive use of Saleen's custom parts lines, including superchargers developed within the MJ Acquisitions automotive and engineering group that purchased part of the parts business from Saleen, Inc. back in February.

    After what happened recently, I don't think I'd ever consider buying a new Saleen. If I wanted a fast, non-Shelby 'Stang, I'd go with Roush or SMS. At least the latter has the real deal, the man himself, who I'd trust much more than what has sadly become a disreputable company unfortunately bearing its founder's name.
