History- Historically known for taking pony cars and turning them into super cars, everyone wondered what a ground up build from Saleen would look like. On August 19, 2000 at the Monterey historic races, the public not only laid eyes on the first pure Saleen design but also the first production supercar: the Saleen S7! Not one to leave well enough alone, time not only saw the Saleen S7 growing bigger, but also stronger with as a result of strapping twin turbos to the 427 small block ford. This resulted in horsepower jumping from 550 to 750. Knowing the markets need for speed, Saleen wanted them to push this car to the extreme. The result was offering the Competition package which boosted horsepower to over 1000, giving the market just what they wanted.

The car- The only S7 to be painted Merlote, this supercar is ready for the road or track. Fitted with the competition package and motec engine management system, the performance of this car is unmatched. The factory one off paint retains its luster and serves this lighting bolt well. The minimalist, race inspired interior is clad in charcoal and gray leather that shows only light use. The innovative small block ford nestled inches behind the pilot fires to life on command and produces a sound that leaves no question this car desires to be taken seriously. No matter if you have track ambitions and what to guarantee a trophy room full of trophies or if you just need to know that you have the fastest thing on the road this Saleen supercar will not disappoint.
