Engine & Drivetrain

Designed by Saleen engineers, the S7's engine and drivetrain incorporate the latest in modern racing technology. The new all-aluminum V8 engine casting was engineered and tooled by Saleen to displace seven liters. Redline is 6500 rpm. Space age materials and engineering are used throughout, including stainless steel valves, titanium retainers, beryllium exhaust valve seats, an aluminum throttle body, Saleendesigned aluminum CNC-machined cylinder heads and stainless steel exhaust system. An exclusive Saleen-designed Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system results in an extremely compact engine, allowing for better packaging and overall weight distribution. The V8 incorporates a unique Saleen-designed side-mounted water pump, a belt-driven camshaft drive and a Saleen-engineered dry sump oil delivery system. The engine's mid-chassis placement optimizes weight distribution and center of gravity, making room for an unusually tall engine that allows for a very efficient induction system. Air enters a roof intake, passes through a 90-mm mass air meter and feeds into a carbon fiber plenum. From the plenum the air is routed to the twin ball bearing turbos, is pressurized to 5.5 psi max and then passes through an oval-bore throttle body into an aluminum intake manifold with eight individual runners.

thats a sexy car, and i like the numbers on it too

2.8 seconds my arse. Is it still the same Ford V8 in the boot, except with aliminium bits in it?

ive got 2 of them

A car that proves not all can pen nice shapes... Downright ugly design.
But then again the basic concept is right, its quite light, powerful and probably adequately handling.
Like European competitors they should not go raving about high topspeed before that been verified on track, Paganis 220 --> 198 in close memory.

i have an impressive number..... 5

omg it's hot, but prolly a nightmare to drive....

2.8 smells like some major bs....they running a chev of ford in that thing?
