RaceCraft 420S Mustang To Debut at Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach
Saleen has made the RaceCraft 420S Mustang official with a press release, photos and a debut date of July 26th at Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach, SC. Mustang Week takes place from July 22nd to the 26th when the RaceCraft 420S will be unveiled at Colonial Mall on North Kings Hwy. at 4pm. Saleen is inviting everyone to come out for demo rides and to give feedback on the new RaceCraft 420S Mustang. The RaceCraft Mustang features a 420 horsepower motor with an MSRP of $38,995 giving it one of the best horsepower to dollar ratios for any aftermarket Mustang.
Press Release:
The Brand
The Racecraft brand will provide consumers with:
-Value that the market can touch
-A ready canvas for customization
-Business first styling that puts go before show
"This formula is one of legitimate performance that you can see, hear,
and feel. It just seemed a natural for us to say that Racecraft will
'Power Your Senses' ", said McCammon.
The Product
Racecraft model nomenclature is a reflection of vehicle horsepower.
Thus the first model in the lineup, the base Mustang, 420S features 420
Horsepower Supercharged V8 engine. Each Racecraft vehicle will also
feature the signature Racecraft suspension, Bridgestone performance
tires, light weight aluminum alloy wheels, race inspired graphics and
signature interior accents. The design formula is understated, leaving
room for the enthusiast to explore their own expression of style and
performance through Saleen's SpeedLab performance parts division. All
of this is wrapped in a 3 year 36,000 mile factory warranty.
Customization
"Racecraft and SpeedLab is the perfect marriage," says SpeedLab
General Manager, Michael Lingo. "The vehicles are dynamically superior
right out of the box, but my team is always ready to take performance
to the next level. It is a perfect combination, and the winner is the
consumer."
Among the SpeedLab offerings, consumers will find the ability
to upgrade the performance of their vehicles to up 475 horsepower
without violating their factory warranty. Many other components will
allow the Racecraft owner to explore further expressions in power,
style, and handling to help make their Racecraft an unique expression
of their performance personality.
The Value
Value is a key cornerstone of this new brand. This is evident in
the sub-$40,000 price point of the 420 horsepower 420S that includes
transportation and applicable federal taxes. What's more, the consumer
will find many of the offerings from SpeedLab priced at or below $1000.
This type of value will be found in each Racecraft branded
vehicle that executives say will begin hitting the market later this
year. "There are many customers out there who want to experience
extreme performance reasonably priced; we designed the Racecraft brand
with this buyer in mind, says McCammon.
More to come
Speculation that Racecraft will replace the Saleen brand is
completely false. Racecraft is actually intended as the entry point of
the Saleen performance enthusiast. The 420S is just the first offering
from the new brand. Saleen executives contend that the brand will
follow with more products that fit. "Consumers should expect to see the
next Racecraft model as early as the fall", said Product Planning
Director, Julie Zona. The Racecraft 420S provides the power enthusiasts
require behind the wheel and the control needed for unyielding
performance.
