Saleen S7


Saleen S7 Twin Turbo (Production 2000 - Present) The limited edition Saleen S7 is a coupe hand built as a joint project by Hidden Creek Industries, Sallen, RML and Phil Frank Design. The vehicle was produced solely in Irvine, California by Saleen.
The Saleen S7 is considered by some to be the original true US production supercar (certified). The car was first seen at the Moenterey Races, packing 550 horsepower in the engine bay. Later though (2005) the S7 Twin Turbo took over having a more powerful twin-turbo engine that meant a powerful 750 horsepower, and raised the top speed to an estimated 250 Miles Per Hour (402 Kilometers Per Hour).
Forbes have this car rated as number one and we agree with them, its also one of America's most expensive cars so unfortunately unless you are a millionaire it is unlikely that you will get the chance to own one. With a price tag of just over 567,000 US dollars this is truly a car for the elite.
Model Speed Price Country
S7 Twin Turbo 240-260 MPH $567,200US
The Saleen S7R holds the fastest lap records (in its class) for the Monza Raceway.
Initially back in 2002 when it originally went on sale the S7 was the only car packing more than 500 horsepower that was street-legal in the US. Numerous magazines have recognized this vehicle as the fastest car (production) in the world, reinforcing what we already thought.
