That's very common. They're testing if it can handle extreme environments. Every car manufacturer does it. Opposite extreme environments is all so necessary like Death Valley. They have to do this before they unleash a road car. Especially McLaren :)
gotta look at the engine diplacement and if it was for lemans or something, you also gotta look at the terms and conditions that the car has to face...
the saleen is not good at all. its all copy. the engine is not even good at all + the areodynamics. come on guys. it looks like a jap car...
the car just has a big engine and a chasis made out of paper. you guys dont noe shit man. come on. go do your reseach bfore going all bout boasting bout shit.
6.2 liter AMG V8 weighs only 2900 pounds and will have horses in the 600 range. this is lighter than a ferrari faster than a Murcielago quicker than a Porsche or Audi and will handle better than most race cars. German brains with British balls good combination, but the Saleen S7 is ahead of every supercar because it has AMERICAN POWER.
oh really what happened at the Le MAns last year? obviously you dont watch formula 1 and you are not aware of how many times the Corvette z06 destroyed competetion. saleen s7 is faster than carrera gt and faster than any track car out. corvette z06 is right behind. porsche weighs a lot more bmw has shitty drivers austin martin is slow as fuck and ferrari is all hype no torque. dumbass
this is the BEST supercar out. y does this car single handedly destroy any european car. name any fuckin car& this car will beat it. ur like a kid that asks for the top speed or HP or the name of the car. facts and numbers don't lie. this car is faster than a million dollar ferrari faster than a million dollar lambo faster than audi R8 porsche carrera gt bmw m6 mercedes slr mclaren f1 who else would you like this car to beat? this is the best supercar hands down. buggati weighs nearly 3 tons
Yes, facts and numbers don't lie, that's why Saleen is heavier than an F1, CCX, Zonda and SuperVeloce. Oh you just said the Bugatti weighs nearly 3 tonnes? Then why does it have better top speed and acceleration? In terms of lateral grip and drag coefficient, the S7 lags behind the competition, its chassis.
Know what car experts have labeled the S7?
'Power is useless if it is uncontrolled. This is perhaps the best description to Saleen S7 Twin-turbo.'
The S7 chassis is so shit it doesn't come near its rivals in terms of worthiness in weight to rigidity.
Oh yeah I'm bringing up the 'facts and numbers' why don't you bring up yourselves some numbers showcasing TRACK/LAP TIMES that are credited, other than just ranting on about how the S7 is the BEST SUPERCAR OUR BECAUSE YOGOES IS RETARDED.
Give some evidence.
S7 is shit around the track.
The F1LM, SuperVeloce, Pagini, CCX, Apollo, AC10, FXX, GT3 & MC12 would shit on the S7 on track.
Supercars need to be TRACK WORTHY, COMFORTABLE and RECOGNISED by car experts.
If the S7 were the best supercar, why isn't it recognized? Why hasn't it won more awards, if any? Why don't critics outside the USA recognize it as a true supercar? Why do other manufacturers have more championship victories under its name? Why doesn't it employ the latest F1 technology? Why does Ferrari, Porsche and Mercedes have more Le Mans wins? Why isn't it international praised?
it is a new car that y no 1 recognizes it.only competed a few times n any formula1 race& when it did compete it beat mercedes ferrari &porsche Saleen is more track worthy than any supercar. it weighs 2900lbs& has 2900 lbs of down force. dude no other car weighs that light &no other car has that kind of down force. thats f1 technology &it also has a bigger stronger engine than everything except veyron but that weighs 3 tons. dude i love all supercars just realize the S7 is pushin the competion
That's full of shit. The S7 has been out for over 7 years, with the twin turbo variant coming out in 2005. How is that a new car?
And no it has not won any Le Mans Championships like you've said earlier.
The S7 isn't pushing the competition. I'll say this, it's a nice supercar but it certainly isn't near the top. If it was near the top then it would be more widely recognised.
If I had to choose an American car, a Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 or the Dodge Viper ACR are much more track worthy
what do u mean y did i bring up those cars? we r talking about all supercars. 0-60 no CAR that competed in formula 1 is faster. the s7 weighs alot less than any porsche and the corvette z06 weighs less than any porsche. saleen s7 has so much down force that it never looses traction. its a v8TT that weighs less than any porsche and has better suspension and down force. with a fuckin V8. shits on ferrari shits on porsche shits on everything. only bugati and the sweedish car have higher top speed
None of your hopeless freaks will ever come close to owning one of these. All you can do is to criticize while not one of you knows WTF when it comes to conceptual design testing.
that isnt a paint job thats a cover so that noone can see what the car looks like like an optical illusion and the tail lights are a work in progress. if you look at the june edition of road and track magazine in your locan store you can see what it really looks like
yeah im subscribed to road and track so i saw the red p11 that they put up against that new mercerdes that theyre coming out with. but i wish they had a black and white paintjob like that.
i dont know if they released a name yet, but aparently i wasn't entirely right. there are going to be three cars. their entree level will be called the P8 and that will compete with the 911. Then there is the p11 and then the f1 successor
plz plz Mclaren don't give it a stupid engine...why not use the engine in the Zonda or something...Mercedes built it! If it's supposed to compete with the F430...that means that they're actually pinning it back, they don't have to make it as fast as the F1 (obviously) but they should at least make it one of the best hyper-cars out of the current line up :)
It's not supposed to be a direct successor to the F1. It's a direct rival to the Gallardo/F430/911 etc. so McLaren can maybe actualy make some money from car production with a lower cost, higher production volume model.
I'm dissapointed with this. I was hoping for a new 'balls to the wall' style supercar successor to the F1 but they seem to have knocked up what appears to be supercar light. A Ferrari 430 or Lamborghini Gallardo type car.
if this is a sequel to the mclaren f1 then they need to have the driver's seat in the middle. But from this video it doesn't look like that will happen. And also if it's the f1's sequel I bet it's gonna beat the veyron's top speed...254mph FTW!
It's called a spy video because it's a video of a car trying to be kept under wraps. They're very difficult to catch a glimspe of. Hence why Car and Driver will advertise their "spy shots".
can somoene tell me what these "spy" videos are all about? there's actually some dumb ass geting paid to video tape cars out in that weather? like waiting outside the factory doors for what new car drives out? seriously, if someone has an educated explanation let me know
wow! ulitimate technology, ultimate weather, and what were most likely ,really cool tires. some call it RALLYE! Video of a bump on ice...cool...but a bump.
I dislike the thin scale. Doesn't show the full depth of the cars' proportions. I still think the McLaren F1 is the greatest car ever made. This newer McLaren, however, is somewhat like a baby Gallardo. I'd like to see how this car would contend with some of its rivals when it's released or unveiled.
Merc has a lot of catching up to do if they want to be VW's Bugatti. They will have to hit the 280mph mark as well to stay ahead for a while.
