2005 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo For Sale - Rare Factory Twin Turbo, Only
470 Miles From New! LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 2005
Saleen S7 Twin Turbo The Saleen S7 is the brainchild of Steve
Saleen, the owner and founder of Saleen Inc., a performance company
known for aftermarket enhancement for Ford Mustangs along with
being a formidable racing team. In August 2000 during the Monterey
Historic Races, Steve Saleen unveiled an entirely original
production vehicle that would usher in a new era of supercar design
and performance and dominate racetracks worldwide the Saleen S7.
Unlike Saleen's previous projects, the S7 boasts a completely
unique and bespoke chassis originally developed for competition. On
the track, the S7R variant quickly earned the respect of some of
motorsport's most seasoned professionals, achieving class wins at
both the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their
racing car was followed with a series of road cars built for
homologation. "The S7 was immediately competitive in motorsports
from day one, winning over 100 professional races at the world's
top racetracks including Daytona, N�rburgring, Silverstone, Imola,
Spa-Francorchamps and the 24 Hours of Le Mans - and that was just
in the first ten years of its existence," said Saleen Automotive
CEO and Founder, Steve Saleen. In 2005, Saleen launched the Twin
Turbo model of the S7, the American-made mid-engine sports car.
Utilising the same all-aluminium engine block as the standard car,
the Twin Turbo gained two Garrett turbochargers, producing 5.5 psi
of boost and increasing the power output to an eye-watering 750
horsepower at 6,300 rpm, with maximum torque rated at 700
pound-feet at 4,800 rpm. The engine was kept cool thanks to the
carbon fibre front intake, directing air into twin front-mounted
aluminium radiators. The S7 Twin Turbo featured Saleen's PowerFlash
computer-controlled engine management system, with integrated
coil-on-plug ignition. The front and rear diffusers, along with the
rear spoiler, were revised to increase the downforce by 60 percent.
Mated to the engine is a six-speed manual transmission that carries
power to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. The 0-60
mph time was estimated to be 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 248
mph. This Twin Turbo example offered here for sale is presented in
beautiful Metallic Black paint with a matching black
leather/alcantara interior. Having been collector owned since new,
it remains in showroom condition with only 470 original miles on
the odometer. Attesting to its low mileage, its optional polished
alloy wheels still wear the original Michelin Pilot Sport tires
that it left the Saleen factory with when new. This particular S7
is certainly one of the lowest mileage examples and would be the
centerpiece of any supercar collection. Today, the Saleen S7 is
regarded as a modern classic, with an increasing presence at events
like the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance and in the world's most
prestigious museums, car collections and auction houses. With its
rarity and racing pedigree, it can be compared to cars like the
Porsche GT1, Mercedes Benz CLK GTR and Mclaren F1 all of which are
far more valuable. The Saleen S7 is an ultra low production, Le
Man's winning and revolutionary automobile that will surely
appreciate in years to come. Additional Details: 2005 SALEEN S7
