Saleen Automotive, Inc., commonly known as Saleen, is an American manufacturer of specialty high-performance sports cars and high-performance automotive parts. It is headquartered in Corona, California, and privately held. Its flagship car was the S7, introduced in 2000 and wholly built by Saleen with a mid-engine design; it remains the only Saleen production car not based on an existing design or chassis. As of 2025 the company manufactured the Mustang-derived 302, the Ford F-150-derived Sportruck and Sportruck XR, the Ford Bronco-derived BIG OLY, and the Saleen S1, an original sports car in race and street variants. In 2017 Saleen and partner Charlie Wang formed a Chinese joint venture in Rugao; the Chinese company was put up for auction in May 2022.
