Supercars are the epitome of automotive performance, coveted by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Yet, these dream machines come with astronomical price tags, sometimes even soaring into the millions of dollars. For most, owning a supercar remains a distant fantasy. But what if you could build your own supercar that could rival the best on the road and track for a fraction of the cost? Enter the Superlite SL-C, the underdog that's redefining what it means to own a supercar.
While supercars are renowned for their blistering speed and striking aesthetics, they are also infamous for their extravagant prices. These high-performance machines, often associated with names like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche, remain unattainable for the average car enthusiast.
That's where the Superlite SL-C comes into play. This remarkable vehicle offers an opportunity for car aficionados to build their own supercar from the ground up for less than $100,000. What's more, in the right configuration, the SL-C can be made street-legal, ensuring that you'll be turning heads not only on the track but also at every corner.
Now The Superlite SL-C is the brainchild of Race Car Replicas (RCR), based in Detroit, a company renowned for crafting exceptional replicas of iconic race cars, including the Ford GT40. Known for its dedication to quality and detail, RCR embarked on a new venture, creating the Superlite brand to produce bespoke, track-focused kit cars, with the SL-C being one of their flagship offerings.
The SL-C is a departure from typical kit cars. Instead of being built upon an existing chassis, most of its components were meticulously designed and crafted in-house. The result is a lightweight, powerful, and versatile platform inspired by Le Mans prototypes.
And with this you can build your own supercar on the cheap

There are basically 4 brand / 5 models to choose from when looking at cars like this. This Superlite SL-C, the Factory Five GTM, Saker RapX , Saker GT or the Ultima GTR.

[@slateisa]

Factory Five don't made the GTM and the 818 kit cars anymore. 😢

[@sacatolasmoreira5593]

Superlite gtr too

[@Mach5Johnny]

Honestly looks like a LeMans Prototype from the 80s-Early 90s!

[@randombanana358]

First comment! ..seriously though, i was excited to see that you posted this. I've admired the SLC for years. By the way, how's your 1.8t build coming along?

[@Thumper68]

Id put a sbc n/a like 700hp save a lot of money and have that sweet sound.

[@henrylafrance7791]

Looking to buy a used SLC not a high dollar one just a driver can’t find none anyways been looking for five months now love to purchase one if I could find one. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@w.jeffreyshervington1117]

5.8 BMW V10, or 5.0 Toyota V12........Zooooooommm!

[@mrsimo7144]

An Audi I5 engine with quattro AWD and DSG box would be superb.

[@sacatolasmoreira5593]

yikes, just put a v8 or v10 in there....

[@martinviljoen2701]

Personally a c63 mercedes engine would do nicely 😊

[@JerseyMikeP]

?They still have them to order on their website.

[@henrylafrance7791]

Kits for sale. Health and age does not let me do this. Love to purchase a used one. 🙏🙏

[@dw9646]

Great video. Thanks 👍

[@ISAK.M]

Looks cool and its not even that ugly damn

[@rjung_ch]

I'd put a 5 rotor into it, maybe with a turbo as well? Who knows really, since it's most likely not able to pass Swiss Road inspections, they are so picky here.... I had a look at the site, with no engine and transmission it started over USD 51'000. So not for everyone. But still a very nice looking car. Cheers -Robert

[@sacatolasmoreira5593]

A lot of mistakes on this. graziano transmission is around 20k. Ricardo around 14k, another 10k for engine (can be more) and you're at 70-80k dollars. That's for a race car, not a road car. factoring all costs like isolation, sound deadening etc you're going to be over 100 easily. these cars are worth around 120k build. If you do the work yourself.Thats before shipping and paint.

[@Mk5mango]

The website says 75k to build...

[@TICKETDROPPER1984]

I have one and I can promise hahaha if you think you can buy this car for $75K complete you will be sadly mistaken 😂 My build was about $200K

[@Lashkar-e-taibaa]

But it’s atleast $100k all said and done, only base kit is $50k, better to buy a used Porsche 911

[@DigitalDissident]

+1

[@justinkibildis]

Only 100 grand bullshit GTR OR R8 50 grand 500 horse power put another 20 grand 700 horse power and have 30 left for maintenace

[@kurosude]

50k for an R8/GT-R is downright impossible to find. You'd be looking at 60k, and thats for a bad one with high miles, which means the motor wont like the twin turbo/other upgrades you do. 20k is pretty wishful thinking. You'd need to put more into it, or so i think. I dont know much about tuning these cars. 30k for maintenance is best case scenario, if its even reliable. The Superlite will probably be more reliable and faster thanks to a generally lighter chassis. The GT-R and R8 are pretty heavy, while the Superlite is 1100kg (2400lbs) and you dont really need to scrap safety or interior for that Power:Weight ratio.

[@justinkibildis]

@@kurosude in UK they are 35 grand where i live

[@justinkibildis]

With miltek exaust ,upgraded intercooler and 4 diffrent maps already got jm650 brake so you getting riped US

[@kurosude]

@@justinkibildis I also think that these two are for different kinds of people. Dropping an LS7 in the Superlite runs you about 100 grand with tranny and all, and now you've got a real fun track toy. An R8/GT-R with performance mods i'd imagine does not handle well around a track (at least not as well as a Superlite) since they dont have as much grip and are generally about 400kg heavier. The Superlite is a good car for the track, but it dont disappoint on the strip either due to low weight and high power.
