Saleen S7.

                                              Saleen S7

The Saleen S7 is a limited-production hand-built, high-performance American supercar developed jointly by Steve Saleen.t was the only car produced by Saleen not based on an existing chassis.
The body of the car made entirely from carbon fiber, incorporates the use of scoops, spoilers, and other aerodynamic features to create split-channel airflow throughout the car and at 160 miles per hour (257 km/h) the car creates its own weight in downforce.

The interior of the Saleen S7 was designed to be both luxurious and functional. Leather appears throughout the cabin with aluminum accents and the S7 comes with a set of custom-fit luggage. Because of the car's mid-engine layout it has two trunks front and rear. Other features include an LCD monitor, rear-view camera, quick-release steering-wheel and a 240 mile per hour (386 km/h) speedometer. The cabin is of an asymmetrical layout, with the custom-fitted driver's seat positioned toward the center both to improve the driver's visibility and center his or her weight in the vehicle.

The original naturally aspirated version of the S7 can accelerate from 0–60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in an estimated 3.3 seconds, and to 100 miles per hour in an estimated 7.1 seconds. It can complete a standing quarter mile in an estimated 11.35 seconds reaching 128 miles per hour (203 km/h).

The street version of the S7 went on sale in 2000 with a 550bhp normally-aspirated 7.0 litre V8 motor. Its race-bred chassis was so good that customers soon cried out for more power, so from the 2005 model year on twin-turbos boosted the S7’s output to 750bhp with a top speed of 200mph and 0-60mph in 3.4 sec.
With world-class performance and dramatic styling to match, the S7 is a credible alternative to the Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Pagani and Porsche establishment. Thanks to its relatively inexpensive Ford-derived V8 motor that makes 750bhp and 700 lb ft (948Nm) of torque in current bi-turbo form, it also promises significantly lower running costs.

The Saleen S7R has been campaigned in racing events in America, including the American Le Mans Series and the 12 Hours of Sebring, and Europe, including the FIA GT Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
