Exclamation S7 competition stats!

Quote:
Owner - Definately my S7.. The only red one ever and its a special one. Called the S7 Competition. Big race wing in rear, winglets in front. 100 extra ponies, 4 point belts etc.
Still like the GT though.

Yes there was a Saleen S7 that joined the rally in Denver and broke down after Aspen on our way to Las Vegas. The owner of the car was going to bring his Enzo but one his mechanics blew something in the engine, and they couldn't get it ready in time. We were driving in a group of cars. I was driving Reza's 360 spider at the time and the Saleen went by us as we were traveling at around 115-120mph, he hit a bump in the road and that was it. Oil all over the place, on everyones cars, another 360, my brothers Porsche, and 4 Lambo's. The car was done, and we had to fill up at almost every gas station on the way because he has the Lemans edition with the more HP, large wing and smaller fuel tank. That is a car that you don't take on a rally if you want to win!! Attached are some images I took from some of my video footage. The last image shows his personal mechanic getting out of the car as they decided the car was done. But he wasn't out of the rally, he got into his spare car, a white Murcie and took off with his wife following in her new blue Gallardo.
Finally just got the stats on this bad boy!

whp 680
Tq 640+
Weight 2650 or less due to smaller fuel tank...
Downforce is greatly increased due to the wing by a good 15-20%.

Is this one?

I've heard that there are only seven of them. Is that true?



Lamborghini Dallas has one.

Check their inventory and notice the "Competition" badge on the rear.

Re: S7 competition stats!

From what I can see yes. There seems to be a very limited number. The owner said his was the only one but I do think there's more. List is 448,500.00 usd (factory).

The front spoiler looks just like the one of the TT, right?
