The Saleen S5S Raptor

Although I've never been a fan of painting a car yellow, the Raptor is still impressive. Developed as a collaboration between Saleen and specialty builder ASC, the car is both high tech and a little old school. The aluminum chassis allows the supercharged 2-seater to go from 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed over 200mph. The car currently has a six-speed manual gearbox, but a paddle-shifting sequential is also in the works and may be ready when the car goes into production in 2010. When it hits the streets, the current projected price will be $185,000.

You can check out more pictures of the car over at Uncrate HERE, or the Autoblog site HERE.
