Saleen S7 Generations
The Saleen S7 has one generation in this catalogue. The 1 generation ran from 2000 to 2006, used a Coupe body, and included two versions. Since both versions carry the same 7.0 MT name, their power figures are essential identifiers: 7.0 MT (558 hp) and 7.0 MT (750 hp).

Both Saleen S7 versions have a 7,011 cc Gasoline engine with 8 cylinders in a V-shaped layout. The engine is centrally mounted and uses Distributed injection (multi-point). Both entries specify No boost, a 6-speed Manual transmission, and RWD.

Which Saleen S7 Version to Choose?
Choose the 7.0 MT (558 hp) when the measured acceleration and torque figures matter most. It is the only version with a recorded 0–100 km/h time—3.9 seconds—and it provides 712 Nm at 4000 rpm. Its top speed is 320 km/h.
Choose the 7.0 MT (750 hp) when maximum recorded power and top speed are the priorities.

It also includes recorded wheel sizes, whereas those of the 558 hp version are not measured.
The two versions otherwise share the principal catalogue specifications: a 7,011 cc Gasoline V-shaped 8-cylinder engine, central engine placement, No boost, Distributed injection (multi-point), a 6-speed Manual gearbox, RWD, 1,250 kg kerb weight, 100 mm ground clearance, and a 72-liter tank. Price, current value, reliability, problems, and cars for sale cannot be compared because those details are not measured in the supplied data.
