Does anyone know if Top Gear or 5th Gear have ever gotten their hands on a Saleen S7?

Thanks.

not yet... and who knows... mabey not ever.

it seems the euro interest in an american hypercar is quite limited... that prolly limits thier ability to get a 'press car' in europe

True...but I would have figured someone rich guy would have gotten one...and might have been up for doing a "loaner" just for the fun of it...but after dropping $400k on the car, I guess he wouldn't really want to hear it if JC or Tiff hated it...

Still, it would be nice to see how JC and Tiff compare it to the other hypercars around....

Doesn't Top Gear just focus on cars which could actually be purchased in the UK?

Like the Corvette, Mustang, CTS, 300C were all being officially imported to England, I believe. As far as I know, Saleen doesn't send any S7's to the dealers in Europe, so I'd guess Clarkson & Tiff don't want to bother with it.
