<h2 id="saleen-s7">Saleen S7</h2>

Made for the street due to need FIA approval, this car of almost $400,000 in price competed at Le Mans and other events for the GT championship.

The attribute that allows him to take advantage of his rivals is his low weight of 1249 kg.

The Saleen S7 has a 7,000 cm3 V8 engine that drives it to over 320 km/h at a fairly moderate speed of revolutions per minute.

The formal appearance stands out for a high waist line contrasted with a low, drople-shaped cabin. Engine air intakes drastically disrupt lateral line continuity and the rear spoiler does the same for the end of the tail.

A vehicle in which the emphasis was clearly placed on performance.
