9. Saleen S7
In the early 2000s, Steve Saleen decided to branch out and enter the supercar market with the S7 model, a superbly fast, good looking, and powerful exotic model which featured the latest technology and proven V8 power. Saleen invested a lot of time and money into constructing the S7 and even used companies that produced parts for Formula One cars to help him in the development of this car.

The result was a 550 HP Saleen S7 introduced in 2000 and immediately drawing attention from the supercar crowd. The S7’s superb performance, looks, and technology were up to par with the best European supercars at the time. In 2005, the even more powerful Twin Turbo version was released with 750 HP and a top speed of almost 250 mph. The car proved to be relatively successful, even on the race tracks, and Saleen produced a racing version too.
