Saleen S5S Raptor Concept

Saleen made a splash at the New York Auto Show today when it unleashed its impressive S5S Raptor Concept.

The two-seater mid-engined Raptor is said to be the first ground up project from Saleen’s new management team, and would seem to be an initial look at a follow up to the devastating S7 super car. The “S5S” moniker refers to the Saleen 5.0-liter supercharged motor, a monster of a powerplant capable of producing 650 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. Making the engine even more impressive is the fact that it’s built to run on sustainable cellulosic ethanol, fueling the coupe from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
