I'd hit this over a Ferrari anyday of the week, But I think I'd have trouble going past a superlegera or LP560 gallardo for it though.

Typical American press release. No mentioning of the cc anywhere... <rolleyes>

I definitely see some Tesla Roadster and Lamborghini Gallardo in there.
Nothing bad, just noteworthy.

It's a good looking car.
If I'm not mistaken Saleen actually built the GT for Ford.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

im not too crazy about it, but its a big step up from the s7...that thing was butt-ugly.
A woman goes to the doctor to figure out why she is having breathing problems...The doctor tells her she is overweight. She says she wants a second opinion...the doctor says, "your ugly".

How does he have no involvement with the company? He's the one who started it.

He sold his stake. He launched a different company called SMS Limited last week.

Looks like the bastard child of a Gallardo and an NSX to me. Still, not a bad result. It could certainly have uglier parents!
Assuming the cost will follow the pattern that all American cars follow (1$ = ~£1), It'll be very, very expensive next to the competition. I'm hoping it'll be more like the actual exchange rate, though, and come in under £100k.

That's weird. So is this new S5S Raptor vehicle an SMS product or a "Saleen" product? I read his SMS website and he states that his goal for SMS is to produce exclusive vehicles; supercars and exotics...if he truely sold his stake in Saleen than it would seem like he plans to compete against his old company...seems counter-productive...and why not remain with Saleen if he knew the S5S was coming?
Confusing, but I've never heard of Saleen selling his stake in the company. It would make more sense that he is stepping down from "Saleen" which involves modifying Mustangs, and has moved onto "SMS" which would involve supercars only...like the S5S Raptor and S7. His website for SMS (which isn't finished yet) shows plenty of pictures of the S7, so that would make sense.

It's certainly not bad looking, but I prefer my mid-engine supercars Italian thank you very much.

cars are "styled" in the wind tunnel
when different groups of people try tackling the same problem , its no surprise that the "solutions" found end up being similer
there isnt 100 different "optimum" designs . and designers are trying to get their individual package pared down to the optimum
thus humans make very similer looking cars in this modern era
