Rebuilt 2007 Saleen S7 LM With 1000 HP and 240 MPH+ Top Speed Hits Auction
It originally cost $1,000,000 USD, but currently is fetching less than half of that.
The 2007 Saleen S7 was an incredible automotive achievement, and in 2017 the company announced that it would be recommissioning models to a new-and-improved LM-spec. Today, a 2018-built Saleen S7 LM has landed on Bring a Trailer, showing just 158 miles on the clock.
This barely-run-in model is practically brand new and features a host of astronomical figures and upgrades. For example, its seven-liter twin-turbo V8 engine reportedly produces 1000 HP and 850 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed transaxle. A top speed is estimated to be over 240 MPH, which makes this — even to this day — one of the fastest production cars around.
Saleen‘s LM-spec gives the S7 a number of visual and aerodynamic improvements, too. It features a roof-mounted intake, adjustable rear spoiler, rear diffuser, power-operated butterfly doors, center-locking forged alloy wheels, black leather and Alcantara upholstery, air conditioning, and LED instrumentation. Elsewhere, the clear-coated carbon fiber body is finished in silver with black accents, while center-locking alloy wheels measuring 19” and 20” front and rear are finished in silver.
When new, Saleen charged $1,000,000 USD for the S7 LM. As of writing, the Bring a Trailer auction is sitting at $425,000 USD for the monster hypercar. Take a closer look at the Saleen S7 LM above, and find the listing on Bring a Trailer’s website where it’ll end in 13 days.
