    Your line about the S7 being inspired by race cars is actually dead-on accurate, lol.
    Saleen was running a couple of highly modified Mustangs at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997, and of course Steve Saleen himself went over to manage things personally. His pit boxes happened to be right next to the pit box of a team running the beautiful Longtail McLaren F1 GTR, which Steve admired a lot, and so he took a lot of inspiration for the design of the S7 from the Longtail F1, and you can definitely see the family resemblance.

      Doesn't rank as well for UA-cam Search. A lot of research goes behind what us UA-camr's use as our titles. the word, "Saleen" is what makes sure it recognizes I'm still talking about a car. S Freaking 7 will accidentally get identified as a video about the Samsung Galaxy S7.

    • @presidentkimi975

      Not relevant to say "bodywork" looks like X or Y. Back then all cars needed the "longtail" look to be eligible for Group GT1 racecar homologation. The F1 GTR Longtail, the CLK GTR, the Porsche 911 GT1 all took the long big wide butt look for the sake of the race cars.

      Steve Saleen himself actually did say the design of the S7 was primarily inspired by the Longtail F1 GTR.
      Saleen was at Le Mans in 1997 and he had a pit box adjacent to a team running a Longtail McLaren. He liked the look a lot, so he took inspiration from it.

So far they had made one, one of the differences I notice is that the car has center locking than traditional lug wheels. The price was $1 million.

    3:56 To be fair the number you are quote was for Twin Turbo version with 750hp, and actually it wasn't as less powerful than other competitor. Veyron has 1000hp because it must carried like 1800kg of weight, CCX has 800hp engine but carried 100kg more weight than S7. So they are pretty much in the same parity in terms of power-to-weight ratio.

  • @ifanramadhana7833
    @ifanramadhana7833 6 років тому +1

    6:21 Not that I'm criticizing Saleen but at that time they rely too much on modified Mustang, while manufacturer made equally fast car from the factory. They also failed to secure any OEM contract like they did with Ford GT and Viper. So he had to sell some share of his company to private investor and only to found he is being ousted afterwards. Things did eventually get better, he start a new company called SMS Supercars and it was successful enough that when Saleen bankrupt he buys his old company back. Of course things aren't so smoothly right now and he sells half the company to the Chinese. Which merge their Artega GT project into Saleen S1 and selling Saleen tuned Lincoln in Chinese market beside his modified Mustang.

    Saleen in a nutshell: Starts as a Mustang tuner, has a midlife crisis and becomes a McLaren F1 tuner (sort of like the Hennessy Venom GT and Lotuses), goes back to a Mustang tuner after 10 years.
