Saleen S5S Raptor - New York Auto Show - Kelley Blue Book Interviews David Byron

[TheGoaltender94]

SEXY!!!! 

[thedothedew]

Sadly it'll never see production *Sigh*

[Fussinated]

This is Ford GT from Need for Speed 2

[Answerzombies]

the s is saleen and its a 5 liter super charged ...........

the raptor is like a name for a bird of prey.

wait wut? a raptor is a dinosaur

[CarbonXL]

This car is sexy, cant wait!

[norwegiantechnolover]

2:19 "I wanted them to look fast so they're stretched further than most people would typically look at a headlight." WTF this dude can barely speak!

[cardude1992]

so where the fuck is it?

[neogenzim1995]

this car is no longer muscle. it is now properly exotic. thank you saleen. you're smart now.

[pommamomma]

@neogenzim1995 its muscle

[wizzang]

How do you get in the car??

[ry27sm]

This guy sounds like an amateur.

[djeminescu]

I know it's not going to be faster than the S7 but it's going to be a far better car because you can actually live with it.

[SuperLakeith]

looks like that rare nissan cant think of the name though

[red4285]

@SuperLakeith not the skyline gtr

[SuperLakeith]

@red4285 NOT THE GTR BUT THE ONE FROM GRAN TURISMO ON PS1 

[reahm111]

I have a heavly moded raptor in forza 3 this car kicks ass.

[wrapper10203]

If you dont anyone to touch this car all you have to do is put up a sign that says if you look better than this car your can touch it.

[smallfrye182]

so its 3 years later... where are all the vids of it actually driving?

[beer94]

@smallfrye182

"Development has stopped as a result of the 2008 recession, and the future of the project is uncertain" - wikipedia

[MrWiwattana]

first, i think its like a lamborghini concept

[AntonSlizzardhands]

Growing I've always heard it pronounced SAYleen, but either way they have done an excellent job.

[gallarzo916]

That shit is badass. I've always pronounced Saleen as "sUleen" but i hear people say "sAYleen"

How is it pronounced

[MGRaiden64]

@gallarzo916 i say "sULeen", "SAYleen" just sounds a bit faggish

[o1f9k92]

I LOVE THE HOOD!!

[MrWegl]

They need to step off the rotating platform

[CorvetteRacingFan]

Oh, and this Raptor now I guess...

[CorvetteRacingFan]

Big time performance downgrade from the S7 IMO but I really like the looks. The S7 had astonishing looks and they really should have kept making it as their hyper-performance, street legal race car and sold this with a luxurious interior to compete with cars like Lambos and Ferraris.

[dsalmon95]

it looks like a lambo and a lotus had a baby xD

[AIRSOFTINGisAMAZING]

i want to shove my dick in the exhaust pipe >:)

[doingforcexdistance]

@TheTopOfTheCrop How so?

[ninja6kid]

i like how the car is rotating on a platform, but their walking around on the platform to look at the car......who breeds these people

[TrojanWarior87]

is this the MP4-12C?

[doingforcexdistance]

@TrojanWarior87 The vid is labeled "Saleen S5S raptor." Where did you get "mclaren?"

[KINDspotting]

@doingforcexdistance McLaren put out a car that looks a lot like the Raptor.

[DidItForebode]

I don't normally like American cars, I'll be honest - and there are many reasons for this - but this one really looks alright. You can keep the stupid shiney wheels though.

[bigtruckseriesreview]

I'd take this over the Gallardo. Over the Murcielago if it is big enough.

[kuikoman]

omg this car scare..too fucking rude and asexy

[rottenzeidler]

stunning



[BurritoSamurai]

9 people need to climb out of their smart cars.

[YouHaveAids123]

it must be awkward doing an interview on a floor that is freakin moving

[luismgodinez]

Once again we see americans building a car only on looks and not on science. Americans= highly inefficient. Veyron would school this.

[bigtruckseriesreview]

@luismgodinez

Veyron would school EVERYTHING. How many people got $2 Million for one?

[wajdef]

its beautiful

[saboobuu]

are the air intakes fake or real. they are with ford, so they might have taken some cues from the 2000 mustang wiht the fake air intakes

[kenny10rendon]

4:08 he said muscles funny

[poYzd]

better hurry up and give me one of these mr. saleen, bcuz it looks like ferrari took your design idea and they're already on the road with it!!! good thing it's never too hard to out do a ferrari...although this supercharger better be something to keep up with their power!! good luck saleen, keep comin up with stuff like this and putting italians to shame!

[afghanakk]

front is lotus and back is lambo... with stupid light from pontiac hehehehe

[saboobuu]

@afghanakk the back reminds me of the acura nsx

[Maniakq1]

this is art

[jjcvk]

nice big doors.....

[amedovski]

EUROPEans CAR ARE BETTER , we have bugatti , zonda , lamborghini , ferrari , mercedes maybach ,mclaren , maserati , aston martin !not a ford dodge saleen, corvette.

[PandehPropaganda]

@amedovski Actually Mercedes SLR's are made in the USA by Chrysler even though it's a German car.

[CorvetteRacingFan]

@amedovski

How dare you not mention Porsche! :P

I don't know about better but certainly Europe has a much greater variety of supercars. The fact that Vipers and Corvettes can outrun quarter million dollar Euro exotics is just a bonus but they are NOT supercars because of price or exclusivity. Being amazing for the money does not make a supercar. The only bonafide supercars out of the states are the Ultimate Aero and the Saleen S7 but they do a good job competing IMO.

[sm0key69er]

some times MUSkLES LOL @ 4:06 some one cant talk ha

[TheOfficialKC]

Why didn't they make this!!! It is exactly what America needs. A direct Ferrari competitor. That way they compare something in the price range. It is easy to say a Ferrari is better than a Corvette because of interior but that is a $200,000 price difference. This is perfect. Just as nice as a Ferrari, faster, and a little cheaper.

[Lukeschedel]

4:04 do you hear how this goof says "muscles" ?... I swear he is high.

[mysteryman839]

sorta kinda resimbels the louts??? what yall think?? nice car tho

[PandehPropaganda]

@mysteryman839 Definately not haha

[crendonwho93]

im going to buy this car or die trying

[crendonwho93]

ima buy this car or die trying

[monsterreapz]

tell me why the lights look like stickers? aha sexy car though

[DeDeNoM]

looks like the new Mclaren

[GTGTRR]

@DeDeNoM more like the other way around. this came out 1st.

[guitarmanaddi]

beautiful

[luiscarlos0719]

esta bonito el auto muy bello

[krislyttle]

It's like an NSX smashed with a HSV-010 and then given tits and ass implants.

Sorry to say it, but that's how I see it.

[jklx92]

i'm sorry, but when that guy whow as standing next to the host said that this car is a american muscle car, that really threw me out. I mean it has the aggressiveness but also this car is missing some key points of stylings of being a muscle car. Now this "american muscle" car became a exotic type of muscle car, which is on my opinion is not an american muscle car.

[angelavamosi1011]

einfach wooooooow...... 

[MozartBeatz]

Whats taking so long for the car to hit production. They might as well design a new car. You don't show a car to the public and have them wait 2 or 3 years and decide to produce it. If this ever goes to production it will have an outdated look. .

[siliconsurf]

Right after this, Ford asks for a bailout from the american taxpayers...

[ballin3393]

Ford was the only American car producer to not accept bailout money.

[stopscrewingaround11]

that is absolutely stunningly gorgeous.

[quakebox]

nice car but it will be overpriced so we would better buy the real thing

[youtoolgofckurself]

i want to marry this car.

I would never ever file a divorce once i married this sexy beast. :D

its just astonishing. it kinda reminds me of the new ferrari 458 italia. which is very sexy, this is like the mother of the ferrari 458 italia. man! don't you just love milf? lol

10/5 :)

[LOGIC42369]

@youtoolgofckurself yea it does remind me of the 458 too, probly cuz of those headlights, their kinda similar

[1992pattrow]

@youtoolgofckurself

Just think of two of them next to each other, TWINS!

[youtoolgofckurself]

@1992pattrow naahh, that's like looking between Kim Kardashian and his mom. And deciding which has a better ass. Doesn't work.

[1992pattrow]

@youtoolgofckurself

lol

[saboobuu]

@youtoolgofckurself if you married it, would it divorce you? lol

[supportourtroops2010]

@youtoolgofckurself the front end reminds me of the 458

[3131561]

@youtoolgofckurself wow sex with cars !!! i 100% agree with you , i love bmw pussy , really moaning of bmw and growling makes my cock goes crazy lol

[jpcarvalhinho]

@youtoolgofckurself

It would spend all your money... just as any Luxury MILF would :)

[AlexTube95]

He should have designed some round rear lights like alot of supercars, like Bugatti Veyron, Mclaren F1, Lambo Diablo, and alot of Ferraris...

[B3ansGuy]

the orange bits on the front kinda ruin it for me, but it looks perfect from every other angle

[lilemotom]

wow, that is all.

[cuteguy86]

looks like a bulky honda nsx to me

[Janusha]

What hes trying NOT to say is that they wanted it to look like a mix of a Gallardo and a F430 as much as possible.

With all the manpower and funding in america Im amazed at how they keep not getting it right. The looks is that of a kitcar or something out of Europe 10 years back. Its not ugly but there is something dated over american cars. Its strange. There is NO reason not to make beautiful cars. Oh well... its never going to hit production anayway.

[RainbowButterfly85]

Does anyone know how the doors open on the S5S Raptor? I'd like to know if they're traditional... Scissor... Butterfly...? The car doesn't look like it's designed for gullwing, in case someone might wonder why I didn't mention gullwing.

[MastaHuey]

This guy sounds stupid as hell hahah

[itzsyk]

@MastaHuey both sound retarded

[WellBeSerious12]

I also drew similar designs to this car...they looked a lot like the wienermobile. lol

[Darknights7]

i love this car, i drew similar cars to this before it came out -_- so ....this is mine <3!

[Metalchris36]

MAN THATS BEAUTIFUL! looks like a lotus

[dimkavenom]

I like it!

[mcla1234567]

sexyyyyy

[parker808]

that is 1 sexy ass car

[RacerX5034]

it going in the january car pack for forza 3 jan 12 or 16

[avaro51294]

it's for the 12

[littlelosito]

yep just got it

[skaterjrd99]

i have a picture of that exact car!!!! so beautiful

[marib2006]

-_- it looks like a lamborghini gallardo, they copied allot of the styling

[Forza3Forza3Forza3]

this car almost makes me want to cry of its beauty. american has once again failed to disapoint me like other foreign car companys have

[kingfii777]

forget forza its all about Gt5 :p

[Tofuman924]

ill be old by the time that game comes out

[kingfii777]

forget about oldeness is all about GT5 :p

[Darknights7]

buddy forza 3 has this car too.

[kingfii777]

it does? but I don't know much about that game :s

[Darknights7]

uhhh gt5= looks like slow as hell, amazing graphics, i dont like the physics that much, ive been with forza ever since #2, ive loved it, i use a steering wheel so adds more fun to it, drifting is awsome, customizations top priority like conversions, the vinyl graphics make amazing designs, gt5 all the way for graphics. i like both games, just my opinion.

[kingfii777]

cool I know my little brother got it and is good but I prefer realistic games or simulator :/ you right both are good :)

[Sherwin930]

@kingfii777 im going to get gt5 will there be customization?

[kingfii777]

No idea man, but beacuse is a very new car it may not have many cuztomization in any game and in GT5 it may not have customization :/ probably

[Sherwin930]

@kingfii777 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo but im still getting the game though =]

[kingfii777]

Yeah!!! that game is awsome ;)

[XxStalkerxSasquachXx]

probably, i dunno, i play forza.

[22bryant]

beautiful

[xwhereswalleyx]

GOOD! Build it, and please don't fill it with crappy interior plastics.

[qsc324]

@xwhereswalleyx it's american..i think it will most likely have lol

[xwhereswalleyx]

I know =( lol

[rapinNtapin]

Thats sterile-typical stupid comment i ever seen, American automakers are economy car producers, of course they are gonna put plastic in it... u think BMW dont have plastic in their cars either, or toyota? or Audi? learn

[Sherwin930]

everyone is designing cars after the f-22 rofl

[blackychan195]

my new goal in life is to get that car!

[theamazingfork1]

amazing car! yellow looks good on it

[DonPhilip84]

hopefully the plans for this won't just disappear, the numbers it's said to dish out as well as it's design and it's projected price would this thing make a big time ass-kicker for all the f430s and gallardos and the likes, hopfelly they'll find away to resurrect saleen inc. this thing could be the low blow to europe´s sports car league and the money drawer saleen would need to get back up and runnin' , and don't get me wrong, i am european and i love this concept!

[Janusha]

This looks more like the real thing. Not dated like the S7. Too bad money ran out. Saleen is out of business and USA is left with the Corvette as only internationally viable performance car.

[kbobn36]

damn that car is SO fucking sick! looks awesome! i love the lights! i love the body design, and the"pulled" back look they gave it.

4.5 out of 5

[baddytaha]

gallardo is the best!!

[Sabrehockeylw29]

not even close...

[Viz731]

why are they coming up with this stuff when money is tight??? they should stop for a wile

[Viz731]

I like to draw....plus i like to draw cars i come up with the funny thing is is that you see the glass it looks like one big windshield....a month ago i was looking at the playstation 3 how it has no buttons and everything is just like a picture....you poke well same thing as the drawing i came up with the glass looks like the glass on this car and you cant see the lights unless you turn them on :P....yea funny how you think up something and come to find out it was all ready taken...:P

[airsoft10002]

458 Italia and the Gallardo are from itaily what the hell s7 is american and look awsome and is faster then any of those cars. The S7 tt does a 0-60 time of 2.8 sec and has a max speed of 250 and it can do faster the final gear runs out and there is more power to go faster the tranes is just not geared any higher.

[badmonkey186]

When the S7 came out, it was already dated looking. This seems like they are actually trying to design a car first and place an engine in it, rather than design a purpose built track car like the S7 was, which made for less than stellar aesthetics. They still can't keep up with the 458 Italia and the Gallardo, however.

[aml082024]

looks like saleen's copy of the gallardo

[JayDi1715]

is a pretty machine,...

[MoParguytilidie]

umm no...DENIED the S7 is still better than the raptor.

[efoster69]

this thing is fucking awsome

[t239]

The Raptor? More like The Impending FAIL

[temidget2]

that is a pretty cool car

[Kingshti1]

Well if he wants it to compete against Ferraris lambos he has to figure out a way to make it burst into flames after so many miles like the Euros do .Because thats what is so awsome about euro cars

[daj301]

lol

[Janusha]

This car is never happening. They are bust.. out of business long ago now. They may still be putting blowers onto Mustangs but they arent making cars anymore. And to compare this to the quality and style of a Lamborghini... well... I think its a bit away from that still. America still has a shitload of catching up to do in that segment of the market. Now these are out of business the Corvette ZR1 is the only internationally competitive performance car out of USA.

[DonPhilip84]

wrong!

[asim0258]

very good looking car, performance to match...dont know about handling???

[hexxuh]

i wuv it

[305pride]

pretty cool.

[36ultrAslan]

rember lamborghini line the front

[ZGILBERT93]

well they made my dream car. now i just need to be able to fit in the damn thing.

[Rell09ny]

this is sexy

[opiumrx]

clearly use big gay front lamps....they should fire all the designers....

[SeanBuehler]

Yes. If I saw this on the street from the front I would think it was a Lotus. From the back it looks like the Ford GT90 Concept

[kook4u]

I like the s7 a bit more :S

[NEWiViAN]

Steve sold his company... :(

[Rehwiskanaal]

Front of the car reminds me of the Lotus Evora.

[SeanBuehler]

I was thinking Elise.

[erickhuno]

omg heres a billionaire ¬¬

[khanmario9]

My uncle has baught a maybach exelero which i have been in, it is so luxurious and fast.

[Insanitea]

congratulations , how about growing some balls and drown in ur ego?

[FuriousPumpkin]

why do you even bother saying that?

[Deepestdarkest015]

Cool now can you tell me where you live so i can sneak into your garage to take a look?

[sidekick3iskool]

Just because you put a maybach emblem on your 1992 honda civic DOESNT MEAN IT IS A MAYBACH.

[Icee2222]

Interesting.

[foil25]

The S7 is a more sophisticated and aggressive race car design than this "modern" POS. This design looks like a Lamborghini reject design.

[mwb52888]

i have a raging erection right now...nothing to do with the car i just have a random boner and felt like sayin it

[10713412]

sux

[vblad]

look the mustang :X

[atvman1000]

you mean rustang

[munkhmurun]

Dat car is have mixed of lotus and lamborghini gallardo. but mane dats car is just sick or bomb damnnnnnnnn

[bkorven]

a mix of rx8 and gallardo

[ghStunter]

this car is a fusion of the lotus and a lamborghini gallardo...

[Skiller2000]

Your right, but I don't like the tail lights.

[geeq13]

tail lights looks like a christmas lights...lol! other than that, the car looks nice

[yourcreator]

way to go american domestic cars :)

[groupofmje]

they dont make it aymore that sux :(

[kingofforza]

fuckin awesome

[yaboytl]

that is sick...i must say...

[mickey5shins]

lotus + lambo = Saleen S5S Raptor

[thecancerboy]

cant forget the volkswagon w12 nardo...look at the top haha

this is a sick ass car though no doubt

[quincy965]

this car looks sick!!! in a good way
