It would appear that Saleen has ended production of the S7. The Saleen management told me when I was with them to do the Car and Driver 0 to 200 mph to 0 event that they would end production in 2007. They would be unable to meet the government's crash requirement for 2008.
It would have cost them 5 million dollars and destroying several S7 with no guaranties that they could pass their requirements. If they didn't pass they would have to send another 5 million again and destroy several more S7 will still no guaranties they would pass again.
There is approximately about 78 or more S7 in the world today, part of those are race cars that never see the road.
The Saleen S7 is pure automotive sex, Steve Saleen was responsible for making one of the most glorious cars in the world.
I went to a Farrari car show where a S7 was on display with the Farraris, there was constantly more people around and more pictures taken of the S7 than the Enzo. The Farraris are certainly one of the world finest cars, but the public was more impressed with the Saleen S7.
It will be difficult or nearly impossible in the future to build an low production Supercar and meet the government regulations because of the insanely expensive costs.
So what does that mean... the current S7's should sky rocket in price. If you own one ...you are in one of the most exclusive Supercar ownerships in the world!
The first time I saw your car Ward I was humbled at the beauty, charm and grace that your car possesses. It makes all others look obsolete. The last time we were together, I looked at your car parked next to a Lambo and a few Vipers and you made them all disappear. The honeymoon is never over when you own an S7.
This is the only time I have ever felt this way. The S7 is Pure magic.
I'm been scouring the world to find one for sale for a while, still no luck...if anyone knows of one on the market please let me know, any color considered
there's a couple of S7R's competing in the FIA GT series this year and 24H Lemans, run by Larbre Competition who were very successful with the viper a few years ago, they have formed an alliance with Oreca
