This is the Saleen S7 that I have been working on in between my bouts with my Toyota GT2000. Whenever I had an issue with the Toyota I would step away from it and work on this to clear my head. This is the 2001 model year. I love the lines on this car and its general shape really appealed to me. It's not overly detailed and was just built OOB.

Saleen is an American aftermarket performance company. Best known for their upgrades to the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. The S7 was their first supercar designed and engineered by them.

The Saleen S7 is an American hand-built, high-performance supercar designed and initially built in the UK by Automotive and Motorsport engineering company Ray Mallock Ltd. on behalf of Saleen Inc. Developed jointly by Steve Saleen for the initial concept and direction, Hidden Creek Industries for resources and initial funding, Phil Frank for the body and interior CAD design and development, it was the first fully proprietary car produced by Saleen and became America's first mid-engine production supercar. The S7 debuted on August 19, 2000 at the Monterey Historic Races. The all-aluminum engine is a bored-and-stroked derivative of Ford's 351 Windsor small block with Cleveland-style canted valve heads, not based on the FE big-block. It proved remarkably tractable and flexible for such a high-output unit—550 hp at 6400 rpm. In 2005, the S7 gained a more powerful twin-turbo powerplant which boosted engine power to 750 hp (559 kW) and top speed to 248 mph (399 km/h). In 2006, Saleen offered a competition package for the S7 Twin Turbo.The package offers a 33% increase in power, to a total of an approximate 1000 horsepower (1014 PS/746kW), as well as changes to the suspension, a revised front and rear diffuser and an optional aerodynamic package with carbon fiber front and rear spoilers.
















Thanks for looking in...

Very nice.

I think that's the car that Jim Carrey magics up for himself in Bruce Almighty.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. This is the first car I have completed since I was a kid. I hadn't done much modeling if any the last 30 years. When the DeAgostini Millennium Falcon came along I really got excited to model again. This car was in the stash half finished. I really enjoyed finishing this car as I finish my Toyota. It was a nice distraction against throwing my expensive Toyota against the wall...lol.

Thanks,

Ron
