Saleen has been building high-performance custom Mustangs for decades now, and fans of the tuned muscle cars will be keen to know that the next generation of the car will receive the same treatment. This is the first image of the Saleen S302.

Released today, the image shows the car’s dramatic front-end design, from the flared and scooped hood to the lower valance and the blacked-out grille. As Mustangs Daily reports, Saleen is aiming for drama with the S302’s design.

“We feel this latest Saleen mustang model is perfectly positioned as the next American exotic, campaigning on the world stage,” Saleen announced in a statement. “As a first look, the final features and specifications of the 2015 S302 Mustang will be released as our unveiling and production draws nearer.”

Likewise, we’ll keep you apprised of the developments with Saleen’s first custom 2015 Ford Mustang as they happen.
