The Saleen S7 first hit production in 2000 and was the only car in their lineup not based on an existing chassis. It still stands as a badge of honor for American supercars. This particular S7 is one of only four models equipped with the Saleen Performance Package. The kit includes a remap of the ECU, new cam-shafts, an exhaust upgrade and fresh intake gear. The result is a boost to the S7's Ford-sourced naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V8 from 550 horsepower to 650.
Built in Irvine, California, the Saleen S7 featured a lightweight steel and aluminum honeycomb chassis for a curb weight of only 2,750 lbs. A pure supercar in every sense of the word, the S7 can still dice it with the best Europe has to offer. A fully-leather interior with aluminum trim, rear-view camera and LCD monitor highlight a few of the exceptional qualities of the S7's cabin. Though this isn't the twin-turbo version, the S7 can still accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in only 3.3 seconds and to 100 mph in 7.1 seconds, running through the quarter-mile in an impressive 11.35 seconds.
The Saleen S7 shot in the following clip by BrianZuk is owned by AE Performance and is sporting a set of distinct ADV.1 5.2 SL track-spec wheels measuring 19 inches in the front and 20 in the back. The spokes are finished in slick matte black while the rims are decked out in brushed gunmetal.
