"Arguably America's only true supercar, the Saleen S7 was created in response to a desire for a road going version of the S7R race car, which has won over 40 GT events world-wide, most in the American Le Mans Series and the FIA GT. The road car is slightly detuned from the race version, but only slightly - it still pumps out 750HP in the "base" form, while factory-supported aftermarket packages can push that number to 1035HP. Constructed of a steel spaceframe, aluminum honeycomb panels and carbon-fiber bodywork, the S7 rockets 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and a 240MPH top speed. At 160MPH the cars aerodynamics produce downforce equal to its weight; enough to theoretically drive upside down."—Official description (Forza Motorsport 2)[1]
The 2004 Saleen S7 is a rear-wheel drive supercar by Saleen.
It appears in all Forza main series titles, except for Forza Horizon 2.
Synopsis[]
Developed only in 18 months by Saleen in collaboration with British automotive supplier RML Group, the S7 supercar was conceived to elevate Saleen's status from a car tuner to an automotive manufacturer. Using a 575 hp (429 kW) Ford V8, the S7 was capable of at least 200 mph (322 km/h), which made it a serious contender to European supercars.[2]
The S7 was produced from 2000 to 2009 and received a twin turbo engine upgrade in 2005. It also competed in GT racing as the S7R.
