Renowned aftermarket tuning company, Saleen, began rolling out special editions of the Ford Mustang from the 5th generation in 2007, codenamed the S302-PJ. Saleen upgraded the stock Ford 4.6L 3V V8 engines to a larger 5.0L displacement with high compression. These models are now known as Saleen 302 CID or S302, with the suffixes indicating the custom options.
The new S650-generation 2024 Ford Mustang spurred a flurry of aftermarket activities (so to speak), including- of course- the Saleen's 302 Series. Saleen celebrated the S550 departure with the limited SA-40 Speedster, consequently announcing the S650 replacement.
The 2024 Saleen 302 White Label focused on style and a slight power increase, while the 2024 Saleen 302 Yellow Label offers significant performance upgrades, including a supercharger boosting the V8 engine from 510 to 745 horsepower, along with enhanced suspension, brakes, and aerodynamics. Let’s explore the 2024 Saleen 302’s specs, features, and pricing.

The 2024 302 White Label is Saleen’s entry-level vehicle in the 302 model line, followed by the mid-level 745hp Yellow Label, and the top of the line 800hp Black Label.
“This 302 Yellow Label puts the power in the hands of a few at a very reasonable entry price,” said Steve Saleen, founder of Saleen. “Where else can you get a very useable, 745 horsepower vehicle with great handling and appearance for about $80,000?”
Each trim level offers different performance capabilities and features, with the Black Label being the highest in terms of power and performance.
“This 302 White Label (2024) is the most comprehensive design ever for our 302 White Label. There is a lot to like about the new S650 platform,” continued Steve Saleen. “Much has been said about this model, and we addressed it. We are quite proud of the end result.”

When the first Saleen Mustang was first made available to the public in 1985, gearheads were already in love with the fox-body coupe. It took more than the eye-catching gold stripes to win the people's hearts and wallets.
Equipped with performance-oriented aerodynamics, tires, wheels, and suspension, the modified Mustang already demonstrated its prowess at the Saleen Autosport starting lines the previous year.
The Saleen models have evolved over the past four decades into what we now know as the Saleen 302 in various Labels and packages, including the White, Yellow, and Black Labels.
A lot may have changed in that time, but Saleen’s mission with Ford’s Mustang has changed none: delivering unmatched elite race-car experience to Mustang fans and driving enthusiasts.
