    Yes, like mentioned, there‘ll be a 10.9L drag racing V8 making 2200hp and an AWD conversion (yes, that’s a real thing). The engine block is rated for up to 4000hp though, so imagine what I’ll allow you to tune it to :rolleyes:


    Yes


    we will see, I’ll be sure to test that.


    Like already mentioned, there will be 3-4 versions + one with no paint or stickers (pure CF)

    After Wang spent 500 thousand dollars to buy Saleen, he couldn't even produce shxtbox at all.He pieced together other car companies, such as artega in Germany and Euauto company in Hong Kong.He hung the Saleen logo on the cars produced by these brands and produced several cars to defraud subsidies.And on the grounds of developing the automobile industry and building factories, he defrauded the China municipal government of 6.6 billion RMB.Finally, his scheme was reported and his company and factory were closed down, but he had already returned to American with the money he cheated.

    It's really sad to see such a brand full of glorious past fall into the hands of a dirty liar.:(

    What do you mean?
    I was unaware of that, what I found out before this was that Saleen was basically permanently on the edge of completely bankrupt from the financial crisis up until it got bought by some Chinese investors. I also saw some pictures of a huge event in China in 2017 with Saleen on stage, including some rebadged cars and a yellow wrapped Saleen S7. Saleen also recently went public but no exchange lists a value yet
    There also was a sale of the entire S7 parts/chassis/Memerobilia garage that they had, the S5s raptor also was in there.
    I have seen a covered car in the background of a recent video inside Saleen‘s factory which has a very very similar silhouette to that car so maybe they kept it?

    Do you mean the Saleen conference held in Beijing in 2019?

    They released a total of four cars, but three of them are rebadged car.

    In the end, only the electric shxtbox went on the market, but it was only symbolically announced that nine cars were "sold". It is said that they only built more than twenty such cars. Because all this is a scam from beginning to end. In 2020, Wang's legal manager exposed his despicable behavior, and he abandoned all his industries in China and returned to American with money.

    In addition, before he bought Saleen, he started a brand of produce energy vehicles called Greentech Automotive in American.He once promised the US government to provide 25,000 jobs, but it was finally found that he only recruited 100 employees, and even made only 25 cars in 2015.In the end, the company was also closed in 2017.

    That's a whole lot of Saleen lore I didn't know, damn
    So what is up with Saleen now? Is there anything behind what they claim right now? That they're supposedly building a few new cars right now? I mean, I have seen an unfinished LM chassis in a recent video so...?

    They may should have been out of Wang's control now.In May 2022, Wang's equipment, production line and assembly line in China were all auctioned.Perhaps Steve Saleen continues to explore on his own path with his old team.

    I assume this whole ordeal also is why the Saleen S1 was never shipped to customers?

    Haven't driven this car in a game in over a decade (Midnight Club Los Angeles) and loved it to the point of buying a model one. Beam was in desperate need of a lore-friendly American supercar. Especially love the lore-friendly aspect, excited as heck for this one!
