Saleen Extreme Stars as "Decepticon" Police car i
"Transformers

~2008 Extreme Makes its World Debut with More Than 600 Horses and On
Bad Attitude

IRVINE, CALIF. – The cars are the stars in DreamWorks' new hit movi
"Transformers," and the Saleen S281 Extreme is receivin
rave reviews as everyone's favorite bad guy. Appearing in variou
scenes, the Extreme – disguised as a deceptive police car code-name
"Barricade" –pursues lead character Sam Witwicky, played b
Shia Labeouf, and ultimately battles his "Autobot
protector, a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro named "Bumblebee.

Saleen delivered multiple S281 Extremes to th
"Transformers" set for filming, but none were equipped wit
the new Saleen supercharged 302 cubic-inch engine of the soon to b
released 2008 model. Debuting in late-summer 2007, the new Extreme i
expected to set a new benchmark for performance vehicles in its class
Designed by the same engineering team as the Saleen S7, the ne
Extreme will be the first vehicle to deliver true super ca
performance in a production sports car

"Fans of the movie can see the Extreme police car on display a
The Saleen Store in Irvine, California," said Mike Simmons
chief marketing and sales officer of Saleen Inc. "What's eve
more exciting is they can actually purchase the production model fro
their local Saleen certified dealership, without the police badgin
and vicious alter-ego, of course. The 2008 Extreme is a limite
production vehicle of only 200 units and a waiting list is alread
starting. However, we have two more attainable S281 models that hav
the same body style as the "Barricade" car. They might no
destroy 'Autobots' as easily, but they are plenty fast and fun t
drive.
