While Saleen is known for building special variants of existing models from Ford, founder Steve Saleen started initiating his concept from the drawing board, his first original hand-crafted supercar. The Saleen S7.
A completely original car, and is one of the few known mid-engined American production car. The S7 debuted in mid-2000, known for its all-aluminum bored-and-stroked Ford Windsor V8 engine, producing 550 horsepower and capable of reaching 330 km/h (205 mph) with an acceleration of 0-60 in about 2.8 seconds.
While it's an American supercar of its own, in 2005, the S7 becomes powerfully twin-turbocharged. Now called the S7 Twin Turbo, its engine power is boosted to 750 hp, capable of reaching hypercar levels (and fairly matching with the Bugatti Veyron) with an estimated top speed of 399 km/h (248 mph).
The S7-R is the racing variant, designed to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, American Le Mans Series and the FIA GT Championship, with some of the notable contenders like Konrad Motorsport that finished 6th overall (and the class winner) in the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2001.

The 360 is Subaru's rear-engined two door kei car for The '50s to The '70s, as it's so-called because of its 360cc engine.
An inexpensive cute machine intended to help motorize the post-World War II population, as well as being intended to comply with Japan's kei car regulations. It produces 16 hp, weighs under 1,000 pounds and notable for utilizing suicide doors, the Subaru 360 would be one of the firsts in the kei car category.
Several variants were produced throughout its 12-year run, such as the station wagon 360 Custom, a convertible variant and a slightly upgraded version called the Young S. And even more powerful version the Young SS boasts 35 hp and 100 bhp per litre.
...and just because it has under 20 hp and it's tiny doesn't always mean it's The Alleged Car.
Anime and Manga
- B: The Beginning usually has this microcar, seen in the hands of Lily Hoshina.
- Ban Mido's Subaru 360 in Get Backers is no surprise of what's a textbook example of The Alleged Car. It's actually heavily modded and even had a nitrous engine on it, but the fact of the matter is, it's still a Subaru 360. That and it keeps getting towed no matter what the duo does.

The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that has been manufactured by Subaru since 1992, introduced as a replacement for the Subaru Leone.
The Impreza soon became known for its rally-homologated WRX variants (standing for "World Rally Xperimental"), which added turbochargers to their "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1.5- to 2.5-liters (aside from further features such as all-wheel drive and stiffened suspensions), plus the introduction of versions made by Subaru Tecnica International (STI, or prior to 2006, STi), which added blueprinted performance-tuned engines, transmissions, and suspensions.
Its second generation in particular became known for being subject to two rather radical facelifts, resulting in nicknames to distinguish them from each other based on the shape of their headlights: The pre-facelift model was known as the "Bugeye", the first facelift as the "Blobeye", and the second facelift as the "Hawkeye". It was known as something of The Rival of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (leading to jokes such as "Fear No Evo").
After the third generation, Subaru split the Impreza and the WRX (STI) lines, with the Impreza becoming a hatchback/saloon only (sharing a platform with the Levorg), and the WRX (STI) carrying on as a sport compact resembling the Impreza of old onwards.
Imprezas have been one of the quintessential rally cars in the World Rally Championship, which helped Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Petter Solberg secure the drivers' championship title in 1995, 2001 and 2003 respectively. While it withdrew at the end of 2008, many privateer rally teams (especially in Group N, rallycross, hillclimb, etc.) continue to use the Impreza for off-road competitions.

Originally named the Volkswagen Type 1, the Beetle or "Bug" is a cute little machine of a car loved by the entire world over, making it an icon of Volkswagen.
The concept of the need for a people's car was made by Nazi Germany leader, Adolf Hitler, who wanted a cheap, simple and mass produced car for his new road network in the country. Hungarian engineer Béla Barényi was credited in the original design of the Beetle in 1925, and commissioned Ferdinand Porsche and his team to finalize it until 1938.
Due to World War II, civilian-made Beetles were produced in significant numbers, internally designated as the Type 1. The later models offered in numerous engine displaccements such as the 1200, 1300, 1500, 1302 and 1303.
The original Beetle's engine produces 25 hp, with top speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph) which would be practical for the German roads. As speed increased after the war, its engine output was boosted up to 40 hp. The iconic and trendy Beetle rose to spawning multiple Volkswagen variants such as the Type 2 Bus and the Karmann Khia, as well as inspiring other makers to build their own RR layout economy car such as the Fiat 500, the Rencult 4CV and the Subaru 360.
The original Beetle would end it production in 2003, making it one of the Long-Runners in terms of vehicle production. With that, the Beetle is considered to be one of the best-selling automobiles in history, with over 20 million units produced throughout its 66-year lifespan.
Film — Animated
- The Stinger of Cars has a this tiny Volkswagen fly into the camera lens, leaving a smudge, keep in mind... Beetles are bugs. The bug would later become an Ascended Extra in one of the Tales from Radiator Springs shorts.
- Then you have Cruz Besouro in Cars 2, Carla Veloso's crew chief whose model is after a green 1960 Beetle.
- In the first two chronological Lilo & Stitch films, Nani Pelekai owns a blue Beetle note that has seen better days, though it's replaced by a green Jeep and a red modified dune buggy in Lilo & Stitch: The Series and its films. In the first film, the super-strong Stitch uses it as an improvised weapon in his fight against Jumba, destroying a good chunk of the Pelekai house just to whack his own creator with it. In Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, Nani drives herself, Lilo, Jumba, Pleakley, and David in the Beetle, speeding along a dirt mountain road to try to reach Stitch before he leaves Earth in Jumba's ship in self-exile without being charged in Jumba's fusion chamber, though a dead end cuts her short of reaching him. In a Chekhov's Gun moment, she also hid Lilo and Stitch's hovercraft in the Beetle's front compartment, allowing Lilo to fly it to reach Stitch after he crash-lands the ship.
Film — Live-Action
- The most iconic Beetle of them all—and Disney's most iconic car character before the Cars franchise came along—would have to be Herbie, the Love Bug, a pearl white sentient 1963 VW Beetle with red, white, and blue racing stripes and the racing number 53 plastered on his front lid, doors, and engine lid. He is able to drive himself and is an improbably competitive race car who is able to beat much faster vehicles than he is. He's been in five feature films, a short-lived TV series, a TV film, and a few video games. He can also be found at a dedicated section of Disney's All-Star Movies Resort in Walt Disney World.
Video Games
- An entire game dedicated to the Volkswagen New Beetle called Beetle Adventure Racing was released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and received surprisingly high critical acclaim for its time, which is surprising considering it was basically an advergame for the 1998-debuted car.
- The Beetle has appeared frequently throughout the Forza series, usually as a low-class car. In Horizon 5, there is a story revolving around repairing one. Completing it rewards you with a Forza Edition Beetle, which is a normal Beetle that had enough parts installed into it to turn it a high-class car.
- The Beetle had a quite curious history in Need for Speed: It which was a traffic car in II, and barring its appearance in the Nintendo DS/Wii-exclusive Nitro, it wouldn't become a player-usable vehicle until Payback onwards, where it's able to be turned into an exceptionally fast vehicle after being modded.
- The second Expert car in San Francisco Rush is a VW Beetle with alternating horizontal stripes that end in rings on its trunk.
Safar: 242 miles per hour, top speed. And it's bulletproof.
Hailing from the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon, the Emirati sports car company W Motors began developing their first ever luxurious Middle Eastern hypercar only extremely made available to the very selected few. W Motors has launched its first ever Super Prototype on January 2013; the Lykan HyperSport.
Priced at over US$3.4 million, it was considered to be the third most expensive production car at the time of production. What's contributing to its value is its headlights, embedded with jewels containing titanium LED blades with 440 platinum-15 carat diamonds. It's powered by a twin turbocharged Porsche 3.7 L flat-6 engine developed by Ruf Automobile, capable of producing 740 horsepower, and it either comes with a 6-speed sequential manual or a 7-speed dual clutch. The result: a claimed top speed of 395 km/h (245 mph).
Production was extremely limited with only seven units produced, one of which was purchased by the Abu Dhabi police, intended for patrol and showcasing purposes.
Film — Live Action
- This ultra-rare Cool Car made its official film debut in Furious 7. The Lykan HyperSport is implied that it's belonged to the Jordanian prince, kept in a vault in his penthouse in Abu Dhabi. And this is where Brian and Dom carjacked it in order to find the hidden equipment, as both used the car to escape from Deckard Shaw's ambush, plowing through the party, and jumped between two freakin' buildings! And watch The Precious, Precious Car falling down the Etihad Towers, destroying it in the process.
- Luckily it's a replica car in Real Life, not counting the tally of being reduced to six left in existence.
- It was added in a January 2014 update of Asphalt 8: Airborne as one of the low Class S car, which would later spawn in later sequels (alongside its successor, the Fenyr SuperSport).
- The Ignition Expansion Pack for Driveclub has this Lykan HyperSport as a.. ahem... Hyper class car (pun unintended).
- Forza Motorsport 6/7 and Horizon 3/4/5 has "Arabia's first supercar" added in the lineup, typically as a Downloadable Content car or a reward car.
- In Gear.Club, originally there is a limited-edition event where you get a chance to own the Lykan HyperSport. It's considered as a D1-class hypercar. It became regularly available in Gear.Club Unlimited 2 for the Nintendo Switch.
- The Lebanese hypercar made its one and only appearance in Project CARS, which you would never find again in its sequels.
