Saleen S7 twin turbo

As if the S7 didn't have enough power and motor, they're adding 2 turbos to it too.

With its 7.0L V8 and the added twin turbos, the power is now up to 750 hp @ 6300 rpm and 700 lb-ft torque @ 4800 rpm. That's compared to the naturally aspirated version which produced 575 bhp @ 5500 rpm and 570 lb-ft @ 4700 rpm.

Remember that the car is extremely light, weighing at 2750 lbs (1250 kg) in the naturally aspirated form. I can't imagine having 700 lb-ft torque with so little weight. I'll bet you'd smoke the tires if you accidentally sneeze while driving.

For the current S7 specs go to Saleen.

For more info on the upcoming twin-turbo version refer to Automobile Magazine.
