The long-standing Saleen in-house parts brand, Racecraft, has graduated to full standalone status, with the announcement today of the first set of Racecraft-branded cars focused at the everyday enthusiast, rather than the wealthy sportsman or collector.

Three principles guide the design of Racecraft’s cars: affordable value, a base that can be built on and putting ‘go’ before ’show’.

The first car to bear the Racecraft name will be the base Mustang, called the 420S. The name is derived from the 420hp (313kW) supercharged engine.

Other mods to the car include lightweight wheels, a Racecraft suspension, high-performance tires, and a few custom interior treatments and graphics – leaving the door wide open for individual customization by the buyer.

Options that can be added from the company’s SpeedLab parts division include performance enhancements that can push the car to 475hp (354kW). read more »
