The film Transformers that was launched in 2007 presented the 2007 Saleen S281 for the personality Barricade. It was a law enforcement car in the film and as its reputation matured, so did the need for it. Saleen did make a unique design Saleen that had the similarity to the car in the film. However, since it was a law enforcement car serious variations had to be created. In the film, the aspect of the car says "Police" the one Saleen published said "Saleen". Also, instead of "9-1-1" on the again fender it said "4-1-1" and of course there were no sirens or the boasting lumination on the top either.
