YEA or NAY: Is A Boston Start-Up Making The MOST Exotic, Custom Built Supercar On The Planet, Period?

**Note: the headline is referring to Rapier's claim of their new exotic vehicle. Check out http://www.rapiercars.com to see what I am talking about...

GTspirit reports:

Rapier Automotive, based in Boston, USA, has created a competitor for the Aspira F620 and it is definitely worth some attention. They have been working on the vehicle for more than five years. Rapier has started taking orders for their mid-engined supercar.

The reason it took so long to create the Rapier, which is named the ‘SL-C Superlite Coupe’, has probably a lot to do with the fact that it is completely hand-built and customizable including the choice between several different powerplants, colors and interior options...

Looks quite a bit like an Ultima GT-R.

It can be a custom built super car but it will never have the prestige of an Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari, and Lamborghini. It may look exotic but that's as far as it gets.

I am sorry but nothing beats a Caparo T1 and yes, it can be made street legal (It is in Europe, there is talk of it in America)

Street Legal? Maybe but certainly not street capable. It cant go over a speed bump and it sets people on fire.... There is nothing super about that.

I would be willing to wager that a Reynard Inverter, or an Atom 500 would whoop the Caparo in a race.

This car has the look and feel of any other exotic kit car out there. Not my cup of tea. IMO, the only small time manufactures that ever made anything out of their super cars have been Pagani and Saleen.

Great-looking car, sketchy name. Could've picked any name in the world, so they go with one some will confuse with 'rapist'. Keep the car, lose the name.
