The Saleen S7
Steve Saleen is known as a tuner of American cars, particularly of Fords. Then some time during the 1990s, he developed a concept to create a true American supercar. The Saleen S7, one of the fastest cars that ever came out of America. Released in 2002, it is deemed as one of the most technically advanced cars in the world, and one of the distinctions that it had then was it was the only American street-legal car that packs over 500 horsepower in stock trim. Now, the world beating American supercar has a lot of competition, and if they don’t do something, they just might fall behind the wayside of the supercar wars. Noticing this, Saleen has a plan. His team upgraded the S7 to the point that it has become a whole new car, ready to take on new challenges. This car is the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. The same in house developed V8 engine makes its way to the S7 Twin Turbo capable of pressurizing air up to 5.5 psi, are mounted at the high performance exhaust system, boosting performance to another level. the new modifications are enough to raise the engine’s output to 750 horsepower and 700 lb/ft of torque. And amazingly, this is still a clean engine, featuring an extensive emission control system and is compliant to OBD-II standards.
With all these raw stats, it is pretty obvious that the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo can beat even the most extreme of hyper-cars.
