2010 Rapier SL-C
Hope this isn't a repost...
Rapier Automotive is proud to present our Superlite Series of exotic cars. Exceptional engineering and high quality components puts the Rapier SL-C on par with other supercars costing much much more. Almost every component of the Rapier Superlite Coupe has been handcrafted using space age materials. The use of the Chevy LS Series Powerplant's and the Ricardo GT50 Transmission means your vehicle cost of ownership is very reasonable.
