When you see it for the first time, you may think it is Ferrari or a Lamborghini. But you will be surprised to know this yellow one is an all American car. The Saleen S5S Raptor was introduced at the New York Auto Show on 20th March 2008. This could be a in the history of the new high performance car manufacturer Saleen.
The two seater model Raptor with its engine at the middle is the first project from Saleen’s new management team. This is Saleen's follow up to the much hyped S7 super car. The 'S5S' name stands for Saleen 5-liter supercharged motor, which produces monstrous power of 650 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. And this is a green car with the engine which runs on ethanol. Saleen chose the ethanol burning engine to help reduce emissions and oil dependence. It reaches 0 to 60 MPH in 3.2 seconds. The Saleen S5S Raptor achieved a top speed of over 200 MPH.
The over all look of the car is simply astonishing. It is definitely going to turn heads wherever it goes. The sexy front flanks and wedge design is perfect for the super car. You can see the speed even in the design of its head lights.
The Saleen S5S Raptor is subtler version of its predecessor S7 and is made with light weight aluminum composites. Sun light drizzles through the solar tinted glass sun roof. Saleen says that the S5S Raptor could be on the road in two years at an estimated $185,000, depending on the public's reaction to this car.

thats good it doesn’t have a sex appeal and it is not look like a wanna be 360 spyder.

to know this is an american car is amazing
again i agree with ecd this car doesnt have the sex appeal of a Ferrari of Lambo this looks like a wanna be Ferrari 360 spyder
wow. I gotta get me one of these.
well, no. lambos and ferraris look much better and exotic. if this did handle well (which it doesnt) it still doesnt have the pedigree. did i say it was ugly?
what i want to see on this site is the new corvtte there planning on making. i hear its going to have a 3.6liter v6 with twin trubos and only 400hp. thats stubid but what can you do about it.
