The S7 also features a gimmicky live video rear view 'mirror' system with a camera mounted in the rear of the car feeding video images to a screen in the front. In true supercar style, the car sports gull-wing doors which makes getting in and out whilst in small supermarket car parking spaces so much easier. Luckily for us the Saleen will be available in the UK as well as in the USA, Europe and the Middle East. It will be built in Saleen's Californian factory for the US market and in a factory in the UK for the European and Middle Eastern sales. The cars will be churned out at a rate of about a hundred a year.
Production is targeted for four years.
However, work has already started on a cheaper, higher volume model, so we could see Saleen's name becoming more widely known outside of the States shortly. Aside from the engine, the other clue to its American origins is the size of the car.
