"GTA is well established in its own right as an automotive company and has strong relationships and sales channels in China," said Steve Saleen, CEO of Saleen Automotive. "We believe that they are the proper ambassador for Saleen vehicles in this vast new market. With the concurrent rise of wealth in China, we believe it is a timely entry for Saleen Automobiles to start hitting Asian showrooms and roadways.”

Saleen has yet to announce the name of the vehicles that will be distributed in China, but the line lineup should include the 570 Dodge Challenger, 302 Ford Mustang and the 620 Chevrolet Camaro.
