Performance Car Innovator Steve Saleen Launches All-New Vehicle At 2017 LA Auto Show

This newest Saleen vehicle, which will debut at the 2017 LA Auto Show, has been 100-percent designed and engineered by Saleen and his team at their base of operations in California.

Saleen Automotive Inc., headed by CEO Steve Saleen, an innovator and trendsetter in mass customization, has been producing vehicles more than 34 years with six generations of Saleen Mustangs, trucks and America’s Supercar – the Saleen S7. Saleen has announced the upcoming launch of the Saleen 1, which has been referred to as the S1.

This newest Saleen vehicle, which will debut at the 2017 LA Auto Show, has been 100-percent designed and engineered by Saleen and his team at their base of operations in Corona, California. Saleen Automotive will commence manufacturing of the Saleen 1 immediately. The LA Auto Show opens to the public on Friday, Dec. 1.

Jiangsu Saleen Automotive Technologies Group (JSAT) is a new, separately owned automotive company based in China. JSAT is building a billion-dollar, modern manufacturing facility to produce Saleen vehicles in China for worldwide distribution.

The genesis of the Saleen 1 began with JSAT purchasing the tooling and remnants of the Artega GT. JSAT asked Saleen to assist in modernizing the Artega GT for today’s sophisticated consumer. In reality, Saleen says such an ”update” was not feasible, which resulted in a new vehicle being designed and built from scratch.

Initially, all Saleen 1 vehicles will be built in North America. Eventually, at an appropriate time in the future, the JSAT factory will assume responsibility for an entirely new line of Saleen vehicles, including the Saleen 1.

Do you speak spark plug? Most part numbers are a meaningless series of numbers and letters. But spark plugs have a language on the side of the box that can tell you what’s inside. Like any other language, there are dialects.

The nomenclature of spark plug part numbers can tell you everything from size (diameter and reach) to what materials are on the center and ground electrode. Like learning a new language, knowing how to translate spark plug numbers can open up a new way to inventory and sell spark plugs for counter professionals.
