NEW YORK — Gotham Dream Cars, an ultra-exotic car rental company with locations in Manhattan and Miami, has added the $590,000 Saleen S7 supercar to its premier fleet of vehicles.

Known essentially as a street-legal racecar, the S7 features a 550-horsepower 7.0-liter V8 engine that combines with a curb weight of 2,750 pounds to reach speeds of more than 200 mph.

Gotham Dream Cars picked a candy-apple-red model for its fleet, and it is reserved only for returning customers and members of its DreamShare car club.

"Most people only see unique cars like the Saleen S7 in movies and museums. Gotham Dream Cars is making one available for its clients to drive freely — speed limits permitting," said Noah Lehmann-Haupt, president and CEO of Gotham Dream Cars.

GDC's lineup of more than 20 exotic rental cars includes such brands as Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati. The S7 is accompanied by a price tag of $3,950 per day. See the company's Web site for further pricing details and a list of luxury rental cars that are available.

What this means to you: Even if the full potential of this Saleen supercar may only be seen on the track, cruising the streets in one would still be quite an experience. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
