Have you ever driven a street-legal car that does zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds?

Enter the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo, the self-proclaimed “supercar” that gets 750 horses with its V-8 engine and 700 lb-ft. of torque. In nearly all areas of performance comparison, the Saleen S7 beats out competition like the Ferrari F50 V-12 and the Porsche Carrera GT V-10. It handles the quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds, and redlines at 6500 rpm.

One might think that a vehicle with this much power and muscular durability wouldn’t be safe, but Saleen has packed in the safety features to further outrun its competition. According to Saleen.com , integrated roll protection, center-position fuel tank, three-point seat belts and automatic tensioners make the Saleen S7 a sure bet on the road. Inside, you’ll find performance sport seating and a leather-lined steering wheel that matches the leather-and-suede upholstery.

For just over $500,000, the Saleen S7 packs in the comfort as well, with power everything and a high-volume ventilation system. The front windshield and seats are heated, the LCD display provides rearview surveillance, and keyless entry provides easy and safe access to the doors and trunk. For the exterior, projector beam headlights and heat-rejecting tinted glass provide the ultimate in comfort and style.

On top of all of this, the Saleen S7 is a truly beautiful car, especially with the doors that open out and away from the torso of the vehicle. Three-piece Mulholland Brothers luggage comes with the car in the rear trunk, and the sloping, aerodynamic design makes a big impression whether you’re winding a mountain road or cruising down the interstate.
