Vehicle Description
This 2005 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is one of a very limited number
produced. Thanks to the two turbochargers delivering cool air into
the mammoth 7.0-liter Ford V8 mated to a 6-speed manual
transmission, the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo produces 750hp and 700
ft/lbs of torque. Pulling 1.1 Gs in lateral acceleration on a skid
pad, the S7 Twin Turbo has achieved some world-class acceleration
numbers, reaching 0 to 60 in just 2.8 seconds and 0 to 100 in a
mere 5.9 seconds. A standing-start quarter-mile resulted in an
elapsed time of 10.5 seconds at 145 mph. This car was built in
February 2005 and delivered in April 2005. This particular car was
the very first Saleen S7 Twin Turbo to be shipped by the California
company to Europe. The car never even had a Window Sticker, as
Saleen hadn't settled on pricing of its European deliveries when
this car was sent overseas. This Saleen S7 Twin Turbo made its
public debut at the Top Marks Show in Monaco, where its admirers
included Prince Albert of Monaco and actor Roger Moore, who
famously portrayed James Bond in numerous films. An Italian company
called DR Group then purchased the car, before returning to the
United States after Saleen founder Steve Saleen regained control of
his company in 2012. Trimmed out in silver paint over a black
multi-toned leather and suede interior, it comes with performance
sport seating, a custom-fitted driver's seat, autoclave
carbon-fiber body panels, heat-rejecting tinted glass and an LCD
display. This supercar has 240 actual miles on the odometer.
