New York Auto Show: Saleen is presenting new supercar concept called S55 Raptor.
V8 powered supercar boasts 650 horses and 630 lb-ft of torque.
The engine is mid-mounted and runs on either regular gasoline or 85% ethanol blended fuels.
S55 Raptor can do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed around 200 mph.
It has a lightweight aluminum chassis and composite body and a six-speed manual transmission sending drive to the rear wheels.
As the current mid-engined Saleen S7 is priced around 600,000USD then it is doubtful will the new model be a successor as it will be priced less than 200,000USD. It is more likely that Saleen is expanding its fleet of supercars.
Will it be produced? Depends on how much interest it receives from potential buyers.
Stumble it!
