Saleen Debuts the 2024 800hp 302 Black Label Mustang at MCA 60th Anniversary
Celebrating 40 Years of Saleen and 60 Years of Mustang
Saleen Automotive, the Southern California vehicle manufacturer founded by legendary racing driver and manufacturer, Steve Saleen, unveiled its 2024 302 Black Label at the MCA 60th Mustang Anniversary at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama, April 6
The 302 Black Label is the top of the line model in the 302 family, and with 800 supercharged ponies it has the power to back up its aggressive look.
The Black Label features an all new Saleen developed air management system. Starting with the sculpted hood, a center vent extracts high pressure air and engine heat, while recessed side vents release high pressure from the wheel area. The new hood integrates seamlessly into the front fascia that provides additional down force, and has fully functional brake cooling ducts.
All new side skirts, a rear fascia with integrated diffuser, and a Saleen rear wing that provides additional downforce and balance, round out this new aerodynamic package.
Paying homage to some of the classic Saleens, the Black Label also features a center exhaust exit. This particular Black Label is finished in Speedlab Beryllium, one of 14 proprietary Saleen Speedlab colors available.
As with all 2024 Saleen 302 models, an instrument surround frames the new LED screens, creating a more integrated and flowing look. A passenger grab handle further compliments the overall aesthetic and functionality. All Black Labels feature custom Saleen Sport Seating with Alcantara and color matched stitching.
“I’m proud to say that our new 800 horsepower Black Label is our most comprehensive 302 model to date. We’ve spent a lot of time not only developing the look, but making it functional as well,” said Steve Saleen. “In addition to what you see here, we will also be offering some exciting options such as a multi-chambered titanium exhaust that produces an F1 inspired sound, and a sequential transmission in the near future.”
All 302 Black Labels come with a Gen 5 Racecraft® suspension, Saleen brakes, and Saleen wheels and tires. Starting MSRP is $108,990.

Saleen Debuts its 2024 745hp 302 Yellow Label Mustang at NADA
Saleen Automotive, the Southern California vehicle manufacturer founded by legendary racing driver and manufacturer, Steve Saleen, unveiled its 2024 302 Yellow Label at this year’s 2024 NADA show in Las Vegas. The vehicle was shown at the EZ360 Exhibitor Booth, #5313 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, February 2–4.
The 302 Yellow Label is part the Saleen 302 line. While aesthetically similar to the White Label, under the hood is big change. The entry level White Label is no slouch with 510hp, but the Yellow Label increases this almost 50% to a tire shredding 745hp via a supercharger.
The Yellow Label features improved vehicle air management with an entirely new front fascia that incorporates an aerodynamic splitter integrated into the high down force air dam. A revised hood vent allows additional escape of hot engine air from the 745hp powerplant, and a Saleen wing in the back provides needed downforce and balance.
As with all 2024 Saleen 302 models, an instrument surround frames the new LED screens, creating a more integrated and flowing look. A passenger grab handle further compliments the overall aesthetic and functionality.
“This 302 Yellow Label puts the Power in the Hands of a Few at a very reasonable entry price,” said Steve Saleen. “Where else can you get a very useable, 745 horsepower vehicle with great handling and appearance for about $80,000.”
A Gen 5 Racecraft® suspension, Saleen brakes, and Saleen wheels and tires round out the 302 Yellow Label.
