The '''Saleen S7 Twin Turbo''' is an updated revision of the original [[Saleen S7|S7]]. Although the initial concept for the S7 incorporated twin-turbochargers, they were not used on the production car. The twin-turbocharged version later developed in 2005 went on sale for $585,296 USD (approx. GB£295,559, c.2007/€435,203, c.2007), replacing standard S7 production.
 
===Changes===
The engine was upgraded with two Garrett turbochargers producing approximately 6 psi (0.4 bar) of boost, increasing the maximum power to 750 horsepower (760 PS/559 kW) at 6300 rpm, and the maximum torque to 700 lb·ft (949 N•m) at 4800 rpm. The front and rear diffusers and the rear spoiler were also reworked to increase downforce by 60%.
 
===Competition package===
In 2006, Saleen offered an optional competition package for the S7 Twin Turbo. The package offers a 33% increase in power, to a total of an approximate 1000 horsepower (1014 PS/746 kW), as well as changes to the suspension, a revised front and rear diffuser, and an optional aerodynamic package with carbon fiber front and rear spoilers.

The '''Saleen S7''' is a [[Sports car|sports]] [[automobile|car]] that was jointly designed by [[RML]] and [[Saleen|Saleen, Incorporated]] and is currently being built at Saleen's headquarters factory in [[Irvine, California]].  It is constructed with a unique [[Hybrid Cars|hybrid]] of a steel spaceframe and aluminum honeycomb panels encased with autoclave-cured carbon fiber bodywork.  Engineering of the unique engine that is used in the S7 was headed by [[Billy Tally]], Saleen's current Vice President of Advanced Engineering.


Saleen S7 race cars were sold prior to 2002, but the first Saleen S7 road car is a 2003 Lizstick Red chassis #018 that was delivered on [[June 6]], [[2002]].  Prior to [[2005]], the S7 was [[naturally-aspirated]] and produced 550 [[HP|hp]] (410 kW). For the 2005 model year, the engine was equipped with two [[turbochargers]] and power output was increased to 750 [[HP|hp]] (559 kW). The car was from the beginning designed to be a Twin [[Turbo Engine|Turbo]] setup, however.

The Saleen S7 has also been campaigned in [[Auto racing|racing]] events around the world. It has been met with some success in the [[International Motor Sports Association|IMSA's]] [[American Le Mans Series]], where it competes in the GTS class. In all, it has won over 40 events around the globe; mostly in the [[American Le Mans]] and in the [[FIA]] GT championship. Saleen also recently announced factory supported aftermarket packages for 850 and 1035bhp. This option would add around $75,600 to the list price. In late 2006 there will a third party top speed run for the 750bhp S7.

The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo is an updated revision of the original S7. Although the initial concept for the S7 incorporated twin-turbochargers, they were not used on the production car. The twin-turbocharged version later developed in 2005 went on sale for $585,296 USD (approx. GB£295,559, c.2007/€435,203, c.2007), replacing standard S7 production.

Changes

The engine was upgraded with two Garrett turbochargers producing approximately 6 psi (0.4 bar) of boost, increasing the maximum power to 750 horsepower (760 PS/559 kW) at 6300 rpm, and the maximum torque to 700 lb·ft (949 N•m) at 4800 rpm. The front and rear diffusers and the rear spoiler were also reworked to increase downforce by 60%.
