The Saleen S5S Raptor is a concept car revealed by Saleen on March 20, 2008 at the 2008 New York International Auto Show.[1][2]
The S5S Raptor was designed in 2007 at the ASC design studio in Metro Detroit, and is intended to be equipped with a 5.0 L (310 cu in) supercharged Saleen engine (similar to that used on the 2008 S302E) which will yield 650 hp (659 PS; 485 kW). This will allow it to accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds or less and complete the quarter-mile in 10.9 seconds. Expected retail price is US$185,000, roughly US$400,000 less than the S7.
