One of the most recognizable cars of all time, a very well known vehicle! It was said by the engineers on the design team that it's aerodynamics would allow for it to drive completely upside down at high speeds. Super cool ride, I wonder if they ever tried 🤣
Yes, I remember the "driving upside down" thing being brought up almost every time anyone talked about this car, haha. It's so beautiful though, especially in person.
It's only americans saying that this car is "unknown". lol The Saleen won the Le Mans race in its class and RUclips is filled with americans saying that the saleen is underrated and unknown.

Excellent spot. I do get the feeling the company may have exaggerated on the downforce though. Unless shark gills are monster downforce generators? If so can someone tell the current Williams F1 team about this !
He’ll yeah I remember Test Drive Unlimited when I would test drive it for a couple of minutes at the dealer. The Saleen was stupid fast. I honestly have the game but won’t run on my Xbox one S 😢
Probably because he can't get into the car. About half of the Doug Score categories require him to drive it to score it in that way. It wouldn't be a review if he just arbitrarily assigned it a value either.
I love the upside down aerofoil chassis design. The Saleen S7, Mosler MT900, Mclaren F1, Mclaren P1, and even the Koenigsegg Jesko have this kind of chassis design where the cars chassis overall slopes upward towards the rear of the car.

I love this car very much, I got to know it in TDU 1 and now I drive it again in The Crew Motorfest. It's the first car I always buy, completely underrated - amazing design and the sound is to fall in love with. Awesome car!
I got to see one of these badass cars up close when I was at work. An owner of a restaurant a few stores down had one and would bring it to the store a few times a year. Same color and all. Sounds sick in person. Everyone in the parking lot had to go look. Always amassed a big crowd around it.
Just found where the fuel door is from. It's from a honda CBR (motorcycle) where it says "lift open" really funny to see how this car is made with so much foreign/other manufacturers pieces but still manages to look incredible and special
In 2004 I was waiting for a red light in Lake Forest and Steve Saleen pulls up next to me in a silver S7. I always thought he was driving because he didn't trust the customer to handle the car. The seat makes sense now. The light turned green and I still remember how fast he disappeared from sight.
So... who wants to contribute to a GoFundMe for an upside-down loop racetrack we can build in the desert?

what are you talking about doug, this car was in basically every video game in the early 2000s
test drive unlimited!
Still is in every video game lmao
I used it in Fast And Furious Tokyo Drift arcade game
Yep worked for me in video games that’s for sure not one I always picked though
Asphalt 3
Internet: REVIEW THE SALEEN S7!, GIVE US THE S7 DOUG!, CAN YOU REVIEW A SALEEN S7??
Doug: The car nobody knows about...
I'm just glad he finally gave in. I've been requesting this for a while.
Now its time for the Jaguar XJ220 and the Bugatti EB110
@@juantrucco2785 nobody knbows about those cars
I would love to see doug review an EB110
@@Pathfinding-earth "nobody knew" about the saleen either and here we are. I think both (or at least the jag) were the fastests cars when they were new
OMG Doug, you need to find a Vector W2 and do a review.
I just googled it, the interior looks crazy... so many quirks
Good call. I used to see those in the Dupont Registry and think they were the craziest thing I'd ever seen.
Stee my friend has one in arizona
w2 was a prototype... w8 was a serial model.
@@jlove24 awesome, i never heard of them. Get your friend to contact Doug lol
I can preview a 1-hour video just for the quirks.
Always loved an S7. Looks exotic even 20+ years later.
People who played Midnight Club LA know all about this car
I don’t cuz I’m not a nerd
Bmw M3 e46 you probably feel really good about yourself because you haven’t played an iconic game. Okay...
bebop facts
LA was a disappointment, 3 DUB edition was the best
Ahh the days of MCLA, but I already knew of this car before I played it
Doug: "Nobody knows about."
Midnight Club fans and car guys: "Are we a joke to you!?"
Edit: Wow thx for the likes guys! It's true though.
don't forget Test Drive Unlimited :D
Boyyy Granturismo 4 on Playstation 2 calling in - also had the Saleen s7 :D
Am I the only who know it from Asphalt game?
the S7 was one of my main cars in MNC3DE. Fuckin loved it
It was also in the movie Redline if anybody remembers that one.
*if only I could go to Autotrader/oversteer to know more of Doug's thoughts on this beautiful car.*
Or a compiled list of some of the best used exotic vehicles on sale where you might not fit...oh well...
The real question is, has anybody, ever, gone to auto trader.
@@DislikeFRIDAY what was there? 🤣
Inokavi Kasho noting too interesting. I think he said everything in the vid already, however he writes a page on every vehicle.

@@DislikeFRIDAY haha... I hope i can go see it for myself one day😀
Wow such a beatiful timeless design. It looks like it came out yesterday. Nostalgia hits reminding me of Midnight Club 2 and Midnight Club L.A.
Anyone who's played a racing game knows...
I remember playing test drive unlimited and driving this beauty around Hawaii
If u have seen any of 50 Cent's music video from the earliest 2000s, you can't forget this car at all.
I remember the Candy Shop music video
I remember it from the movie Bruce Almighty
Welcome to the candy shop
You're all nobody... thus sayeth DeMuro!
>nobody knows about
Except anyone who played any racing game ever in the mid 2000s
Which is a comparatively small number of people.
JSXS fast and furious arcade machines
That's me
I love this car very much, I got to know it in TDU 1 and now I drive it again in The Crew Motorfest. It's the first car I always buy, completely underrated - amazing design and the sound is to fall in love with. Awesome car!
12:13 - just a guy casually pushing an NSX in the background
you know, as a casual guy would do...
😂
the headlights on that car are disgusting
@@irun2sanaxoxthere are two ver of lights in that car. the pop uo on and a regular one.
Hennessey : “America’s first hypercar”
Saleen : Hold my beer
Hennessey is a con artist
this is not a hypercar bro, the Venom is.
Nope yep
KeepRock ! I KNEW IT! I knew some hennessey fanboy was gonna yell at me for this.
oXiDe lol, just certain facts and numbers
The tops are Suede so that your stuff sits confortably when you're driving it upside down ofc!
Best Comment Awarded.
Hilarious and clever!
Of course!
Well played, sir. You beat me by six goddamn months! NTS: remove thumb from ass.
Everyone that has played gran Turismo 2+ knows this car.
Doug is the type of guy to be a police officer just to pull people over and review their cars for them live
Haha your comment made my day. 😂
Good one 😂
😂😂😂
Don't forget he would also point out their quirks and features
😭
Who else remembers this car from Midnight Club?
YEAH DUDE! It was my fav car.
Yes 😭
First was midnight club for me. Then Forza Motorsport
YESSSS
Best game ever. I miss the series, why dont they bring back ....
This thing was crazy in Forza 4. Strangely, in Midnight Club 3 the Saleen SR was faster than the S7.
Nah, only if you drifted the SR
@@ricksonmarquez4050 yeah that's what I meant. That thing was unbeatable on the Antlanta Highway lol
@@hughmungus1572 yep hahaha
@@hughmungus1572 "Antlanta"....😂😂😂😂

I got to see one of these badass cars up close when I was at work. An owner of a restaurant a few stores down had one and would bring it to the store a few times a year. Same color and all. Sounds sick in person. Everyone in the parking lot had to go look. Always amassed a big crowd around it.
They put the suede on the top for when you're driving upside down in a tunnel
Did you think of that, or get it from the comment below? I'm actually curious, there are some people who get likes just because of who they are.
duh, i though the same thing!
Hahahah that’s an awesome comment and your pic goes with it nice!!!
Just found where the fuel door is from. It's from a honda CBR (motorcycle) where it says "lift open" really funny to see how this car is made with so much foreign/other manufacturers pieces but still manages to look incredible and special
Where are my Midnight Club players at?
braindeadtiger 4297 midnight club LA if I’m not mistaken it was the best car to get
Aye
Right here!
Right here
that was honestly my shit like fr fr
I love that this was in Bruce almighty going wild
Why didnt you have someone else drive with you in the passenger side damnit i watched the whole video waiting to see it drive. Grr man grr
Insurance reasons... Doug is personally insured for up to a couple million... not sure who else would be
He couldn't fit in the car at all
@@dmejia706 Yeah, but Doug has driven way more expensive cars than the Saleen. I bet the dealership just didn't let Doug to drive it.
@@K0ntaminatedS00Sh3 so you didn't se him literally not fitting
Nicole Mejia the owner of the car maybe
This is absolutely fantastic. But, you refered to Vector, which I would love to be seen reviewed too! That car is bizare.
Doug is the type of guy to drive around in half million dollar cars with dirt on his knee caps.
He knelt on the black top when he showed the back up camera.
They are called calist knees, from being on knees too much.

Love the vids Camera Man!
You deserve at least 500k subs ngl
Hey Jabroni I saw your show.. it sucked so shut your hole
When I was little, I thought Saleen was the same company that made contact lens solution.
Don't forget that one scene in Bruce Almighty
Saline water lol
Too bad they're pronouncing it wrong. Its "SUH-lean"
In 2004 I was waiting for a red light in Lake Forest and Steve Saleen pulls up next to me in a silver S7. I always thought he was driving because he didn't trust the customer to handle the car. The seat makes sense now. The light turned green and I still remember how fast he disappeared from sight.
