The turbocharged heir to Saleen's first foray into complete car production, the S7 Twin Turbo represents living, revving proof of a high-performance vehicle manufacturer at the peak of its powers.
When Saleen produced the S7 its first car built from the ground up, it was met with great acclaim and its racing variant, the S7R, went onto stir up a storm on tracks across the world. However Steve Saleen and his team always knew there was room for improvement.
So in 2005 they took the S7, with its lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced-plastic body and steel and aluminum honeycomb frame, and they created a monster. They upgraded its V8 with two Garrett turbochargers, increasing its maximum power to 750 bhp, and remodeled the front fenders, the front and rear diffusers and rear spoiler to significantly decrease drag and increase downforce.
In doing so they bequeathed to the motoring world an automotive beast capable of 0-60 mph in a jaw-dropping 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 248 mph. That's what we call going out with a bang!
