America’s First Super Car. The Rapier SL-C.
Apr 1st
When was the last time you saw an “American” super car? We are not talking about them muscle cars, we are talking Ferrari and Lamborghini beating, race track hugging super car. A little known company called Rapier Automotive made this possible. What could be dubbed the first true American super car. What is called the 2010 Rapier SL-C goes from 0-60 in about 3.2 seconds, hits a max speed of 222mph and runs you a bill of $179 grand. All this, delivered in 9 months. This beautiful car is completely hand made as per specs handed out by the owner who orders the car. The stock car has a Chevy LS7 heart that pumps out 500 HP @ 6200 rpm. All these specs put this car right behind the Saleen S7 which has about the same 0-60 figures but runs you an extra $400 grand to own. So, is this the “low cost” super car going worth it? You decide. Pics after the break.
