The brand initially started out modifying Ford Mustangs, and by the 1990\u2019s they had a full-time race team. In 2000 they introduced their flagship car, the Saleen S7, a hand-built, high-performance super car designed and initially built in the UK that was produced until 2007. A few short months after the debut of the road car, the racing version of the car came out: the <strong>S7-R<\/strong>. Conceived with endurance racing in mind, Saleen produced a total of 14 cars produced (later on they produced seven additional chassis). The engine was a big block aluminum V8 by Ford, with 6997 cm\u00b3 and 16 valves, capable of 600 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/p-z\/saleen_s7r_50_02.jpg\" alt=\"S7-R #50\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In theory a supercar, but the S7 looks a bit pedestrian to my eye.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though car <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-1.motorsport.com\/static\/img\/mgl\/1000000\/1060000\/1064000\/1064000\/1064050\/s8\/lemans-ilmc-zhuhai-2010-50-larbre-competition-saleen-s7-r-patrick-bornhauser-pedro-lamy-l.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"#50 (opens in a new tab)\">#50<\/a> (chassis #082R) was a 2009 model, its manufacturing started in 2006\/2007. Because of the lack of funding, work on the car only happened after business hours. With that, it was ready in 2009! Since it took so long, the car received the nickname \u201cMelissa\u201d, the name of one of the engineer\u2019s girlfriend \ud83e\udd70. Though slow to come out from the factory floor, nevertheless in 2010 it achieved the best result ever for a Saleen at La Sarthe: 1st place in the GT1 class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/p-z\/saleen_s7r_50_03.jpg\" alt=\"S7-R #50\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Another VERY well detailed model by Ixo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saleen isn\u2019t a manufacturer that you normally associate with Le Mans. Also, a bit dated in the looks department (too 90s?), but I really it&#8217;s \u201cnormal car\u201d looks. So a nice looking car from an uncommon manufacturer AND a class winner as the cherry on top? Hell yeah, take my money! In scale this <strong>S7-R #50<\/strong> is another terrific model from Ixo.

However on my model one of the decals on the side skirt was peeling. An easy fix but makes me worry a bit about all those decals in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2009 Saleen S7-R Pilots: J. Canal, G. Gardel, R.
