Saleen S5S Raptor.
The
Saleen S5S Raptor was one of the stars of the New York Auto Show, so it's not surprising that
Saleen is considering building the 650-hp, V8 hyper car. According to an interview in Automobile with Chris Theodore,
Ford's former head of NA product development, one of the men behind the
Ford GT and the man atop
Saleen, "the car has the potential for reality." He went on to say that the concept was "designed around a feasible business model," and that the S5S was very well received after its debut. This could mean that a production version is on the way and that it would take all of six months to have a prototype in testing. The major hurdle
Saleen has to overcome is finding a suitable production partner, but if that wrinkle is ironed out and they decide to build the Raptor,
Saleen's halo car might be spied in prototype form next year.
