At the 2008 NY Auto Show, Saleen debuted their newest car, the S5S Raptor. Details are sketchy, but the car is said to be powered by a 5.0 liter, supercharged V8 producing 600+ hp (probably the engine inside of the S302 Extreme). Performance is said to be a 0 to 60 time in the low 3 second range, and a top speed of above 200 mph.

you don't even relize how much you've just made my day man. I love Saleen (the company). and it looks like he's really keeping up with making some of the coolest cars. but i wish people would stop doing the LEDs around the head lights. It wasn't too bad around the R8 because that car didn't really look all that good in my opinion. It wasn't really meant too it was just modeled after the Veyron which design was based off of aerodynamics, if it's not broken why fix it? The LEDs where just to make it look better. and it worked but it doesn't look good on all of these new concepts. It doesn't look to bad on the Saleen here but i think it looked horrible it looks horrible on some of these concepts. Now those performance figures those are nice as long as they stick to them. 0-60 in low 3 sec range and 200 mph, NICE numbers i like those. As long as the price is low as well. Either way it is a nice car to put a picture on the wall and drool over until they release it and you can finally see some YouTube videos and get some sweet satisfaction. I love the tinted windows that is really bad A$$. That would be an awsome car to own. I'm loving that car. I think that it might actually divert my attention from the Skyline for a little while.

It's definitly a good replacement for the S7. The S7 was a nice car but the cost really drove buyers away. Hopefully this will be a little more competitive in the market.

That is one fine looking car. It seems to lack personality, but it is still gorgeous.

I don't know i think it has a lot of personality. I think it has quit a bit of soul to it too. It's an american car that wants to keep up with the big boys, Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo. It has a lot of feeling. It's an American car that looks like it's speeding at 190 mph when it's just sitting there. Yet i think that Saleen still hasn't lost touch of the Muscle it was born from, Despite the LED lights. (I don't like the LEDs) The car molds streamline to muscle and makes it a really nice looking car.
Now what bugs me is that almost every car maker has the same front grill now. The same one as the GTR, and the new Lancer. It's a really nice design but come up with something original!
