Looks like the designers at Saleen are making this an evolutionary design (which is a good thing in my book). The Saleen S7 was a beautiful car, but this sketch blows the S7 away.

Rumor has it this car will in the same category as the F430 and Gallardo. I have seen a picture of the clay model, and it appears to be about the same size as a Gallardo.

NICE!!! the only decent american car...they must still work on the engine mabie the P80 from BMW could be a good choise

Don't forget. Saleen was part of the Ford GT Program. They have experience with supercharged V8s so the engine will be a good mill. Also, a key member of the Ford GT team is now at Saleen. I bet the S5S will be very similar to the Ford GT in terms of performance.

Reventon will not compare with an American car.. Not even in your dream!! Thats a Lamborghini, and this is still a saleen.

by no means am i saying that this IS a reventon. i'm not saying they would compare in pedigree or build quality or craftsmanship ect. ect. saleen is just a baby in that department, and in racing experience, they don't have as even nearly as much as the italians, i'm just saying that it would be cool if this car ended up to resemble the reventon and their would be another car thats not so limited (20 units) and expensive (1.4 mil) with this type of styling and similar performance without the hefty pricetag.
