One of One Twin Turbo Saleen S7 is Looking For a New Home
One of only two twin-turbo examples of the Saleen S7 with the Competition package, with just over 1K miles on the odometer, this is a collector's dream.
A Coveted American Supercar
The Saleen S7 holds a unique place in the supercar realm. Introduced in 2000, the S7 was Saleen's first model entirely designed and engineered from scratch. Developed in collaboration with Hidden Creek Industries and Ray Mallock Limited, it featured a steel space frame with advanced composite reinforcements. The 2005 Twin Turbo version, offered with up to 1,000 horsepower in the Competition Package, marked the pinnacle of this iconic supercar’s evolution. This particular S7 is the only one in the world that has the twin-turbo setup with the Competition Package, producing 1,000 horsepower.
Powerful Performance and Exquisite Engineering
Under the hood, this S7 boasts a mid-mounted 7.0-liter V8 engine, derived from Ford’s Windsor small block, extensively modified for peak performance. Recent overhauls by Fountain Race Engines and Heffner Performance included the installation of custom Gibtec pistons, Carrillo connecting rods, and a MoTec engine management system enabling E85 compatibility.
Striking Design and Aerodynamics
The exterior of this Saleen S7 is finished in a dazzling Lizstick Red, accentuated by Competition Package-specific aerodynamic elements such as a carbon fiber rear wing, front splitter, and revised rear diffuser. Designed by Phil Frank, the S7’s bodywork includes power-operated butterfly doors and functional ducting for optimal airflow. The staggered 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged alloy wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires, enhance both aesthetics and performance.
Luxurious and Sporty Interior
Inside, the S7 combines luxury and sportiness with black leather seats accented by red cloth, Sparco four-point harnesses, and color-matched carpeting. Modern conveniences like air conditioning, power windows, and a Kenwood CD/DVD player with a flip-out touchscreen ensure a comfortable driving experience. The cabin also features brushed aluminum accents and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching, providing a perfect blend of style and functionality.
Meticulous Maintenance and Unique History
This specific S7, chassis 05-049, has a unique and well-documented history. Sold first to a Florida collector and later owned by a California collector, it has been meticulously maintained, with only 1,100 miles on the odometer. It comes with a clean Carfax report, a clean California title, and a letter from Saleen confirming its exclusive specifications. Recent mechanical updates include a new wiring harness, turbochargers, and various performance enhancements, ensuring it remains in peak condition.
An Irresistible Opportunity for Collectors
With its unparalleled performance, striking design, and meticulous upkeep, this 2005 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo represents a rare opportunity for collectors and supercar enthusiasts. As one of only two models equipped with the 1,000-horsepower Competition Package, and the only one in its color combination, it could be a childhood dream come true for one BaT bidder. At the time of this writing, the listing has 10 days left with the current bid at $625,000.
