Saleen S7 ‘04 - Inaccurate, Deformed and Outdated Car Model

The 2004 Saleem S7 is the most defining supercar after Ford GT that America has ever made IMHO.

The FORZA car model has always been very bothersome since this car is too iconic to be ignored for its modeling flaws, like many retro supercars.

The “current” car model in FH5 has been in use since the original FORZA Motorsport from 2005. Again, one of those “20-year old inaccurate car models”

Key giveaway of the modeling flaws include the front nose and headlights which are improperly sloped and scaled completed to the IRL vehicle. The inaccurate signature air gills ant the bottom front and the front lower section exacerbate this problem.

When observing the side profile, the scale of the doors, the gill intakes/vents, the side windows and the side skirts are inaccurate in scale, shape and slant. The dead giveaways for the inaccurate car model when observing its side profile are the side windows the overall shape/dimensions of the vehicle.

Around the back, the rear end is wholly inaccurate like the front with incorrectly scaled and spaced taillights, the shape and size of the rear bumper vents, the inaccurate section where the exhausts are located and the overall width of the rear - matching the generally abominable scale and dimensions of the SALEEN S7 in FORZA.

Requesting the vehicle design and modeling team to fully rescan and remodel the 2004 SALEEN S7 - another retro supercar that has a horrible model and needs to be fully discarded and remodeled.

Parking a laser scanned 2017 Saleen S7 LM next to a not laser scanned 2004 Saleen S7 in the same server does really highlight the differences. This one shouldn’t be too difficult to change in theory because it would make sense to just modify the S7 LM model with the interior of the 2004, make the rear deck paintable instead of carbon fiber, put the regular car’s roof scoop in place of the larger S7 LM scoop, and have the original naturally aspirated car we have now be replaced with the 2005 S7 Twin Turbo.
