The Saleen S1, also called the Saleen 1, is a two-seater sports car built by American automobile manufacturer Saleen Automotive. It was unveiled at the 2017 LA Auto Show, and is the first car developed entirely by Saleen since the Saleen S7 ended production in 2009. Production of the S1 is planned to be 1,500 units yearly, with a starting price of US$100,000 each.
The S1 is powered by a 2.2 litre turbocharged inline-four engine developed in-house by Saleen, rated at 450 hp (336 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 N⋅m) of torque. The engine is mid-rear mounted and drives the rear wheels.
