The future of sports cars is currently compromised and has been in a downward spiral for the past decade. The lack of new models entering the market coupled with the removal of existing models is creating a void in the performance vehicle marketplace. We believe this void of performance vehicles will continue to grow and be accelerated by electrification. 
 
Our mission is to make the experience of owning, driving, and building performance vehicles more enjoyable, and possible in the age of electrification. We will accomplish this by offering buildable platforms for enthusiasts to build, customize, and compete with. These platforms will be designed with the sole or combined usage on the road, track, and off-road. 

 

Our first product i an open cockpit, 2-seater, mid-engine road legal sports car. It is built around the most popular performance engine of the past 5 years, the Honda K20/24. These motors can be bought new or pulled from a Civic, Accord, CRV, etc. Car enthusiasts love them for their inexpensive cost, ease to build, and high performance potential. The total cost for our customers to build their motor starts under $5000, a bargain in the community.

 

 

The car stands apart from our competition because it comes fully assembled with designed in customization features. Our customers mold the drivers seat to their body, upholster the seat foam, paint the bodywork to their desired color, mount the engine, install the gauges, and wire/plumb the car. All items that are the last page in our competitors assembly manuals. There is no sanding/prepping the bodywork, welding, or cutting anything. Our customers entire to do list comprises of tailoring the car to their exact specifications and finishes; no intimidating workload put on our customers.

 

 

 The vehicle will retail starting at $40,000 for the base trim with an estimated maximum price of $120,000 for a factory-built race-spec version, which is more expensive due to us commissioning an engine/transmission.
