"The build captures everything that made the S7 special: those dramatic scissor doors, the trio of diagonal side vents that channeled air to the mid-mounted engine, and the low-slung stance that telegraphed serious performance intentions. Nytedance included opening hood and engine bay access alongside a detailed interior, giving the model the same display-worthy presence the real S7 commanded on showroom floors."
"Here's the thing about the S7 that most people forget: it was legitimately fast. Like, 2000-era supercar fast when that still meant something. The naturally aspirated version put out 550 horsepower from a 7.0-liter V8, which sounds almost quaint now until you remember the whole car weighed 2,865 pounds. Then in 2005 they strapped turbos to it because why not."
A 1,200-piece LEGO model captures the Saleen S7's scissor doors, trio of diagonal side vents, and low-slung stance. The MOC includes opening hood and engine bay access and a detailed interior for display presence. The Saleen S7 produced 550 horsepower from a 7.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 and weighed 2,865 pounds; turbos were added in 2005. Steve Saleen used carbon-fiber monocoque and mid-engine layout, applying European supercar engineering from Irvine, California. The build nails the aggressive wedge proportions and hero side intakes while celebrating the S7's uniquely American audacity and engineering ambition.
