Saleen S5S Raptor Is Ferocious

Saleen aims to give the Ferraris and Lamborghinis a run for their money with its ferocious yellow concept supercar called the S5S Raptor. A collaboration between Saleen and automotive design firm ASC Creative Services, the Raptor looks every part the ferocious reptile it is conceived to be.

A Saleen 5.0 liter supercharged engine provides a gargantuan 650 hp and 630 lb-ft of torque to hurl the beast from rest to 100 km/h (or 0-60 mph) in 3.2 seconds. Lest you think all this power is going to cause some serious air pollution, the Raptor feeds on a diet of cellulosic or E85 ethanol. This makes the Raptor truly a lean mean – and clean – racing machine.
