World's Largest Collection of Saleen S7 Pictures

This is a  true Supercar. The Saleen S7, which is rumored to have 750 horses, and costs 400,000 is capable of over 200 miles per hour. Zero-to-60 time is under three seconds. The S7 is designed to compete with the fastest, quickest, best handling, most luxurious grand touring cars in the world, while providing a distinctly American driving experience for the fortunate few who will own one.

The Saleen S7 is a sports car that was jointly designed by Saleen Performance, Incorporated and RML and is currently being built by Ford, Incorporated in their headquarters factory in Irvine, California. It is constructed with a unique hybrid of a steel space frame and aluminum honeycomb panels encased with autoclave-cured carbon fiber bodywork. Engineering of the unique engine that is used in the S7 was headed by Billy Tally, Saleen's current Vice President of Advanced Engineering.

Saleen S7 race cars were sold prior to 2002, but the first Saleen S7 road car is a 2003 Lipstick Red chassis #018 that was delivered on June 6, 2002. Prior to 2005, the S7 was naturally-aspirated and produced 550 hp. For the 2005 model year, the engine was equipped with two turbochargers and power output was increased to 750 hp. During the 2005 model year, a specially modified version of the twin-turbocharged S7 with 1000 hp became available.

The Saleen S7 has also been campaigned in racing events around the world. It has been met with some success in IMSA's American Le Mans Series, where it competes in the GTS class. In all, it has won over 40 events around the globe; mostly in the American Le Mans and in the FIA GT championship. Saleen also recently announced an extra 'turbo pack'. This option would add around $75,600 to the list price. Engine output would go up to 900bhp (slightly 100bhp less than the Bugatti Veyron 16.4) and has already topped over 245mph in testing.
