This week at the New York International Auto Show Saleen is unveiling it’s mid-engine two-seater S5S Raptor that is powered by a 650 horsepower supercharged 5.0-liter engine. Cost of this dream vehicle is around $180K and is tentatively schedule for production in 2010. The S5S Raptor will come with a six-speed manual transmission, will be able to run on E85 ethanol and sequential gearbox with paddle shifters. Some performance numbers for the Raptor include 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph, I guess that qualifies as an exotic car.
As for the stuff that will keep this beast on the ground, a rigid aluminum chassis with double wishbone front and rear, stability and traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with 15 inch front rotors and six pot calipers plus a set of 20 inch meats with Pirelli Rosso performance tires round out this awesome machine.
