Saleen S5S Raptor

[Distress]

The first ground up vehicle to be conceived by the new management.

Note the "S5S designation sourcing: Saleen 5.0-liter Supercharged Engine.

Massive grunt with 650hp @ 6300 rpm and 630 pound-feet of torque @ 4400 rpm. Surely fast with a aluminum chassis and composite material body!

As power is nothing without a proper suspension: A double wishbone along with a ABS traction control and stability control systems. The brakes are 15-inch front with 6-piston calipers, and 13-inch rear with dual piston calipers. Traction is provided by Pirelli Rosso tires 20"/20"s.

It is designed to run on cellulosic ethanol. The same formula used as the official fuel of the 2008 American Le Mans Race Series and IRL. I don't know if I would call it clean.

The Raptor's interior can be illuminated by the sun or city lights at night through the solar-tented scenic roof over the cockpit.
