I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

New York Auto Show: Saleen S5S Raptor (live reveal shots)
Last month we told you about the Saleen S5S Raptor, well, now we’ve seen it in person and it’s every bit as stunning as we expected. While the side profile evokes thoughts of the Lamborghini Gallardo, the powertrain takes a different direction.

Powered by a 5.0L supercharged V8 running on ethanol, the S5S puts out 650-hp, 630lb-ft of torque and features a six-speed manual gearbox. The S5S should be capable of 0-60 in the low 3-second range. Top speed should be in excess of 200mph. Sitting on 20 inch forged rims with 275/35 front and 315/35 rear tires and sprung with double wishbone suspension front and rear, and featuring stability control, traction control and 15? rotors with six-piston calipers, this car clearly aims to spar with the best of ‘em. While the Raptor has 150-hp more than the F430, pricing should be about the same.

Not the best styling but pretty good. Saleen still maintaining the supercar look.

Looks like the NSX's taillights have finally evolved.

Very puuurty.

For the life of me I think it looks like a direct combination of 2 cars. The lambo (that 1995e34 mentioned) and a Ferrari F430

But done quite tasetfully.

That front shot isn't flattering, but the side, back, 3/4ths all look awesome. Thing is bad ass
