Saleen S7 Twin Turbo (248mph)
Among performance addicts, the Saleen S7 is
legend. There are several reasons for this — the
exotic styling, insane performance, and incredible
tuning potential to name a few — but much of the
vehicle’s appeal is actually historical. Produced
from 2000 to 2009, the S7 was America’s first
mid-engined supercar.
It wasn’t just the first in the U.S. though; it’s one of
the best supercars ever made. Built on a
lightweight chassis crafted from aluminum and
steel, the vehicle featured a hulking 7.0-liter V8
that produced 550 hp, allowing it to accelerate from
0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds. About halfway through its
lifecycle, Saleen debuted the S7 Twin Turbo, which
brought the car’s performance to near comical
levels.
Now producing 750 hp, the vehicle could hit 60 mph
in just 2.8 seconds before smashing the
quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds. However, its most
stunning statistic is its top speed of 248 mph,
making it one of the fastest cars ever put to
