Saleen's New Supercar is Coming in 2 Years


Earlier this summer we reported that because Steve Saleen retook control of his high-performance car company, not only would there be plenty more tuned Mustangs, but also a new supercar at some point down the road. Nothing was fully confirmed but it was clear that Saleen very much wanted that car to happen. The only question was when. Today, however, we seem to have our answer. In an interview with Motor Trend, Steve Saleen confirmed that his new supercar will hit the market in two years’ time.

Lewis Hamilton's Pagani Zonda Spotted In Monaco

When you’re one of the world’s top Formula 1 drivers, what can you drive in your daily life that could even come close to that kind of rush? Well, Lewis Hamilton has himself a Pagani Zonda, specially ordered to his specifications and redubbed the 760 LH (replacing the 760 RS badges) in his honor. The car was recently spotted in Monaco, and we’re lucky enough that it was spotted by Melanie Meder, a professional photographer well versed in supercars.

Aston Martin Vanquish

The Aston Martin Vanquish is the legendary British marque's latest top-of-the-line sports car, supplanting the discontinued DBS. With more V12 power under the hood, more athleticism in the chassis, and a smattering of styling cues from the exotic One-77 supercar, the stunning Vanquish makes a strong play for that extra $300,000 you've got lying around.

Bugatti Quashes Super Veyron Rumors

Recent reports of a 1,500 horsepower, 280 mph, “super” Bugatti Veyron have finally been put to rest by the carmaker’s top dog. Bugatti President Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber has told Autoblog it will never happen. To date, Bugatti has delivered around 390 of its promised 450-unit run, which includes various Veyron special and limited editions. The remaining 60 or so models will come with the 1,200-hp variant of the W16 quad-turbo engine with no further engine enhancements made. Production of the current Veyron is expected to end in 2015.

2013 McLaren MP4-VX by Vorsteiner

Earlier this this Vorsteiner announced the McLaren-V Concept which seemed to preview the new MP4-VX tuning kit that was just announced. The kit was unveiled last night at the Vorsteiner headquarters in Garden Grove, California. Of course that the new McLaren MP4-12C is a great car and we love the way it looks like, but it seems that the folks over Vorsteiner wanted to tweak its appearance just a little. And tweak it they certainly did! Too bad there’s no upgrades under the hood, but the standard 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine with its 616 horsepower 443 pound-feet of torque that launched the supercar to 60 mph in as little as 3 seconds seems good enough. Vorsteiner’s new kit was built using the latest dry carbon fiber pre-preg autoclave technology and it transforms the MP4-12C into an even more aggressive-looking supercar. On top of that, the tuner even added a set of wheels top help round out the look.
