This high-performance supercar develops more than 1000 horsepower. Discover the exclusive details of this automotive gem, a true collector's item that will soon turn heads at a highly anticipated auction.
The Saleen S7, an exceptional American supercar
The Saleen S7 is considered one of the rarest American supercars of all time. Produced between 2000 and 2009, fewer than 100 examples of this automotive gem were produced, including the racing variants. When Saleen, after spending nearly two decades creating high-performance upgrades for existing automobiles, decided to produce its own car, the result was the S7, a mid-engined supercar designed and developed to compete with outgoing flagship models. from Maranello and Sant'Agata Bolognese.
The S7 combines extravagant carbon fiber bodywork, including gullwing doors, with an extremely powerful twin-turbo V8 engine. As rare as it is impressive, this supercar embodies the excellence of American automotive engineering.
A unique copy with the Competition Package
Currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer, a 2005 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is attracting all the attention. This example, chassis 05-049, is one of only two to have left the factory with the Competition Package, making it an exceptional collector's item.
Changes made by the Competition Package include:
This S7's long, slender body is finished in a sparkling Liztick Red color and rides on a set of differently sized forged alloy wheels (19-inch front, 20-inch rear).
A sporty and high-tech interior
Lifting the door, you're greeted by a two-seat cabin covered in black leather, interspersed only with red cloth accents. Although the interior is cramped, like most supercars, it is equipped with bucket seats with four-point harnesses, air conditioning and a Kenwood CD/DVD player with a fold-out screen.
A powerful engine with more than 1000 horsepower
But the main feature of this car is its 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, housed in the engine bay. This completely revised block features a Motec engine management system and a new intake kit, which increases the already respectable horsepower by 30%, bringing output to over 1000 horsepower. With all this power, the car was able to reach a top speed of 399 km/h. This example should have no trouble achieving this feat, because it only has 1770 kilometers on the clock.
