O Steve Saleen αφού πήρε πίσω την εταιρία του, επιβεβαίωσε πως θα βγάλει στην αγορά ένα νέο supercar καθώς και ένα νέο γρήγορο ηλεκτρικό μοντέλο με μηδενικές εκπομπές CO2.
Δεν υπάρχουν πολλές λεπτομέρειες για τα δύο αυτοκίνητα, αλλά η Sallen το 2008 στην έκθεση της Νέας Υόρκης είχε παρουσιάσει το Saleen S5S Raptor Concept. Εξοπλιζόταν με έναν V8 5.0-λίτρο κομπρεσοράτο κινητήρα απόδοσης 650 ίππων με 853 Nm ροπής. Τα 0-60 mph (96 χλμ/ώρα) να τα κάνει σε 3.2 δευτ. με τελική ταχύτητα μεγαλύτερη των 200 mph (322 χλμ/ώρα).
