The 2006 Saleen S281 Supercharged Coupe takes the retro-inspired S197 Mustang and transforms it into something far more specialized, combining Saleen’s distinctive aero treatment, chassis tuning, braking hardware, and forced-induction performance into a serialized high-performance package. Showing approximately 10,179 miles, this example is finished in Tungsten Metallic over a Dark Charcoal interior and carries the unmistakable S281 Supercharged identity throughout. Highlights include the Saleen Series VI twin-screw supercharger, 5-speed manual transmission, Racecraft suspension, 20-inch Saleen wheels, Saleen bodywork, center-exit exhaust, and a cabin filled with Saleen-specific details. Its remarkably low mileage only adds to the appeal of what is already one of the more memorable specialty Mustangs of the mid-2000s.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 2006 Saleen S281 Supercharged Coupe is finished in Tungsten Metallic and wears the extensive bodywork that gives the S281 its unmistakable appearance. Saleen-specific equipment includes the aggressive front fascia and grille, heat-vented hood, side skirts and door cladding, rear fascia, center body panel, rear wing, and quarter-window panels. S281 Supercharged fender badges, Saleen Speedlab rocker graphics, Brenspeed rocker graphics, and a “SUPERCHARGED” hood graphic further distinguish the car, while the serialized front bumper number reinforces its specialty-production character. The car rides on staggered 20-inch Saleen seven-spoke wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires, with Saleen 14-inch slotted and vented front brakes and 4-piston calipers visible behind them. The interior of this 2006 Saleen S281 Supercharged Coupe is finished in Dark Charcoal and carries considerably more Saleen character than a conventional Mustang GT cabin. Saleen leather sport seats feature embroidered branding and distinctive louvered front headrests, while the dashboard incorporates aluminum-finish trim with “SUPERCHARGED” and Mustang script detailing. A Saleen twin-gauge pod places boost and air-temperature instrumentation prominently atop the dash, complemented by Saleen-specific instrumentation, steering-wheel badging, performance pedals, shifter hardware, sill plates, floor mats, and serialized identification. Together, these details make the interior feel like an integral part of the Saleen conversion rather than simply a Mustang cabin with a few cosmetic additions.
Engine
Under the hood of this 2006 Saleen S281 Supercharged Coupe is a 4.6-liter 3-valve SOHC V8 fitted with Saleen’s Series VI integrated twin-screw supercharger and dual-stage water-to-air intercooling system. In S281 Supercharged specification, the package was rated at 435 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of torque, with power sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and 3.55:1 rear gearing. This example also features an aftermarket cold-air intake, while the Saleen 2.5-inch stainless steel center-exit exhaust provides the appropriate soundtrack. Beyond straight-line performance, Saleen’s Racecraft suspension, N2 dampers, upgraded stabilizer bars, and large front brakes turn the S281 Supercharged into a more complete performance package—one engineered to accelerate, corner, and stop with considerably more authority than the Mustang GT on which it was based.
