Saleen unveils its Ferrari F430-killer: the S5S Raptor

The famous American manufacturer of high performance sports cars and high performance automotive parts, Saleen has introduced its all-new S5S Raptor supercar which designed to digest cellulosic ethanol. With Saleen 5.0L Supercharged Engine, this cool drive can deliver 650 horsepower at 6300 rpm and 630 pound-feet of torque at 4400 rpm, aiming to compete with the high-performance offerings from Ferrari and Lamborghini.

The Raptor can be equipped with a close-ratio 6-speed manual, or optional paddle shifting sequential gearbox. Either gearbox can send the rigid aluminum chassis and composite material body screaming to a top speed of over 200 mph.

The Saleen S5S Raptor supercar is expected to hit the market in as little as two years for $185,000.
