Unless I am in Chicago traffic from O’Hare to Wrigleyville, I rarely like to toot my own horn.

But the Superlite SLC Le Mans world debut might be a seriously exclusive piece of supercar news – seen only by readers of Car-Revs-Daily.com, so far.

Why? The Spyder (or Roadster) SLC Le Mans is absolutely brand new and has never before been shown in public.

This is the first complete prototype of the full Le Mans Spyder bodystyle of the Superlite SLC Coupe, an it is magnificent.

Completed with a Chevrolet LS3 V8 engine and Porsche transaxle by H Craft Customs of Buford, Georgia, this SLC Spyder is the first of many track-attack specials to begin roaring around the nation’s racetracks very soon.

The best part – even better than that amazing chopped-plexiglass windshield? The price!

Itemized below by Superlite in rolling chassis form, the SLC is remarkably affordable for the performance and style it brings to the table.

$44,000 gets you in a full and complete rolling chassis – with the engine and transmission choice then up to you.

Even ball-parking a $25,000 tally for the assembly, plus engine and transmission procurement/installation – this is still the widest, sexiest and lowest racing prototype available for under $70,000. Perhaps ever!

Very exciting, especially versus the $65,000 US entry price for the Lotus Elise and others of this track-day focus.

Also much faster, more exclusive, more customizable and far more challenging due to the huge speed available.

SAFETY FEATURES?

ABS or traction or stability control? Or airbags or TPMS?

Ummmm…

A driver’s internal G-meter and butt-clench-sensor will be the best safety features when piloting such a machine around the world’s racetracks.

This car will take time to master. But that is half the fun.

It will turn a boy into a man!

ROAD LEGAL?

Will the SLC Le Mans Spyder be road legal from the factory? No, it will not.

It will require single type approval after the engine is added, and the license plates may or may not be forthcoming depending on the strictness of your state’s laws about one-off machines.

This H Craft Customs build in Georgia notes that road or track options are available –  the road choice with lighting and blinkers is highly recommended.

But even as a trailered track-day car, few existing cars at any price have the visual and performance presence of this all-new, just-debuted SLC Le Mans Spyder from Superlite.

A CAR SO COOL IT MIGHT BE FROM MARS?

So where did this space oddity come from? Who is Superlite?

Superlite is a Michigan-based racing house that builds the well-regarded SLC Coupe and a few other track-day curios – mostly resembling Westfields or Ariel Atoms until now.

The SLC Coupe is gorgeous.

At its monstrous pace around racetracks, it is an LMP2 car of unknown origin.

The idea of using one on the street is extremely ambitious, of course, but still highly desirable. A racer’s flinty ride is a sure thing outside the glassy pavement of most circuits, but still.

Just admire is beauty, proportions, flexibility to carry nearly any drivetrain, and affordability.

Tell me this exclusive supercar photoshoot and buyer details article is not the Scoop of the Year!

WHERE AND HOW TO BUY?

To order the full SLC Le Mans – which includes nice options like A/C , roll cages and custom gel paintwork – buyers will work with Superlite directly via the below links.

The car comes as a rolling chassis, however, so most guys would want to get a recommendation on shipping the chassis directly to a great mechanic’s shop.

H Customs of Buford, Georgia completed this example, as noted, and will be a great first-place-to-look when ordering your own. They have already handled the LS3 V8 fitment and finishing tests on this first-ever model, giving the team at H Customs some insight that will be missing elsewhere.

But truly, any skilled racing mechanic will be able to get the SLC Le Mans Spyder into not just rolling… but ROARING form in just a few short weeks.

 

BUILD FINISHING / FINAL ASSEMBLY

The below table shows the build components, and is broken into stages for the self-completed versions.

But most will want to go right for the full $44,000 rolling example, which includes all of the standard items below. It still will need extensive final assembly upon arrival to your race mechanic – and we recommend asking Superlite for an estimated hours needed to complete the build, to give a better sense of how much the final tally may be. Budgeting $25,000 for the engine and build seems about right – but one-off cars are often uniquely challenging….

But also uniquely rewarding – especially on tracks increasingly clogged with identical Gallardo Spyders and Corvettes. This SLC Le Mans Spyder is out-of-this-world exactly for these reasons.

Go for it!

 

GEL COAT COLOR OPTIONS

These gel paints are very nice to have on the options sheet. But my preference? The pure porcelain-like glow of this unpainted fiberglass looks divine all by itself.

Itemized Build Details from Superlite.

Complete kit starts at $43,995; cars can be purchased in stages to spread out the cost.  Stages 1 & 4 must be purchased together.  No separate chassis or body sales.  For details of what is included in the kit, and in each stage, as well as optional equipment, check the specifications and pricing below.  In general, the complete kit comes with everything you need to build the car except for drivetrain and related parts, tires, and battery.

If you plan to paint the car instead of just buffing the gelcoat, or using a complete vehicle wrap, budget for that as well.

There are car kits on the market with much lower prices, especially some that are based on using recycled parts from a wrecked donor car.  The Superlite series of cars is based on all new parts, and builders will find that the total cost to build a Superlite car to a high level with all-new parts is actually less expensive than starting with a lesser kit.  And when you consider that you can only get such features like an aluminum monocoque chassis, billet suspension and bodies that fit perfectly from the beginning, etc., from Superlite, the value is clear.

Initial purchase price for a kit is only a part of the total cost of a kit – don’t make the mistake of choosing a kit based on what looks like a low price, only to find that the total cost to build a good car is actually higher with an apparently lower-cost kit.  It’s the total cost to build the car that matters, not the initial kit price.

And if your budget doesn’t permit buying a complete kit, you can acquire it in stages, and build the car as your finances permit.

Options
New street tail section with fully functional air scoops ,enclosed transaxle bay with integrated rear diffuser ,complete with hinge and mounting brackets. This is a no-cost option when ordered with the car; you can select either the Race tail or the Street tail at no cost (but only one).  If you want a spare, or want to order both, use this price in calculating your selection.	$2,995
Brake Upgrade Package. Front 15″ Brembo floating GT discs with 6-piston Brembo GT Monoblock calipers; rear: 14″ Brembo floating GT discs with 6-piston Brembo GT Monoblock Calipers.	$6,850
Electric/Hydraulic lift kit for one axle (front or rear). Lifts the front or rear of the car about 3” for improved clearance over speed bumps, on steep driveways, etc. Invaluable to protect your splitter and front end from scraping. Includes pump (one pump can lift one or both ends of the car), 2 spring mounts, 2 lift units, remote reservoir, appropriate lines to pump, switch, and flex lines to lift units from pump.  The standard ISIS electrical system is pre-configured for this kit, so wiring it is plug-and-play.  Once the first lift unit has been purchased, the other end can be plumbed in using the same pump, and at a lower cost than the alternative of having to buy two separate lift systems.  You will need to source shorter springs when using this lift kit, and some machining may be needed on the shock collar.   Call Superlite Cars for details.	$1,850
Handbrake assembly. Handbrakes are required for certain licensing situations, and Superlite provides a subsystem that meets the demanding Australian ADR and UK IVA regulations that actually measure effectiveness. Consists of Brembo-sourced calipers, a custom handbrake lever and all necessary lines and fittings. Designed for the standard brakes, but available with extra cost for the upgraded brake package.	$995
Interior panel Kit. This comprehensive kit is all that is needed to form the foundation of a world-class interior for the Superlite Coupe. As seen in turnkey cars, it includes a custom roof cover, 2 A-pillar covers, 2 lower door trim panels, 2 door blend transition covers, and a custom bulkhead cover. Furnished in fiberglass, and trimming with appropriate covering is required for a world-class appearance.  These panels are also available in carbon fiber, on a limited basis.  Individual panels are quoted on request, and prices will vary with the current cost of carbon fiber and resin, as these often change due to fluctuations in supply.  Contact Superlite Cars for more details.	1295 from  1995 carbon
Fully-trimmed supercar-quality interior. Consists of all optional panels, fitted and trimmed in your specification for materials. Because the materials and details vary, these can only be quoted on an individual basis, after the materials and design are finalized….turn key builds only.	$POA
FIA Bladder fuel tank. For racing purposes, or just extra safety on the street that exceeds production car standards, a fuel cell is required. These cells are custom-fabricated to our size and plumbing specifications, and meet all applicable FIA, SCCA, NASA and other sanctioning body rules and requirements, per the manufacturer. Price varies, depending on options and size.	3400
Sway bars, front and rear. This comprehensive kit uses NASCAR-style bars so they are easy to swap out for tuning purposes, as well as allowing fine-tuning by use of the included adjustable links.	$1,995
Sway bars, front and rear, for race applications.  These bars are the ultimate in adjustability, and are the same technology and design as seen on current ALMS and Grand-AM Daytona Prototype and GT cars.  They come with controls that allow the driver to adjust the settings on the fly, during the race, for both front and rear bars.  Expensive, but the same as the pros use.	$4,995
Wheel Upgrade: Rotary-forged wheels , very light weight, in 18X10 (or 18X11) for the front, and 18X13  in the rear. Available in natural finish only; you may powdercoat or anodize as needed. Specifically sized to fit the Superlite Coupe, these are a tremendous value considering their size, weight and strength. They look great, too!	$3,900
Race front splitter. Consists of a splitter with a longer, deeper fascia that allows more air to be pushed up, instead of under the car. Designed for very low clearance race applications, not suitable for street use. Designed in conjunction with a renowned NASCAR aerodynamicist and uses a proprietary design to evacuate air from under the car using tunnel-effect construction.	$585
Street front splitter. This comes with the standard kit, but is often damaged in use, so is listed here as a replacement part.  Not a bad idea to have a spare, so you don’t have to wait for new stock to be made and shipped when you prang the one on your car.  Using a lift kit (above) helps considerably to reduce the chance of damage due to hitting curbs, speed humps, etc..	$379
Splitter tunnels for Street splitter.  These simple fiberglass tunnels are epoxied to the street splitter to create a venturi effect under the splitter, and are almost as effective as the race splitter.  A great upgrade to a Street splitter, with no loss of ground clearance as found in the Race splitter.  Must be epoxied in by the builder, and openings cut into the Street splitter.	$279
Factory Body fitment. Consists of aligning the body on the chassis, fitting and hinging the doors, assembling and adjusting the door strikers and handles, aligning the front and rear sections to the central spider section, installing the front and rear body latches, installing hinges (if purchased) and installing and testing the gas struts for the doors.	$1,590
Factory Body prep. Consists of cutting out all apertures for lights and scoops, trimming side scoops and roof mount with grille material.	$590
Fender vents.  These vents, made in fiberglass, are strong and functional, allowing air to escape from the front fender area, which will increase front downforce.  Can be glassed in for a smooth OEM look, or cut in for a race style installation that allows for fast, easy replacement if damaged.	$399
Fender Louvres/vents.  Same as above, but in beautiful carbon fiber.	$499
Factory Body sealing panels.  Seals the body to the rear bulkhead for a watertight seal in this critical area.  Consists of specific fiberglass panels that are epoxied in place by the builder.  These are a standard part  in the kit, but are available for older kits without them.	$99
Upgrade to wider “Gentleman’s” seats. Approximately 2 inches wider than the standard seats, these can accommodate occupants that cannot fit comfortably in the standard seats. The extra width may require them to be offset slightly relative to the steering column centerline, but the column may be moved to re-center with the seats if needed.  The price is additive to the normal seats in the kit.	$199
Inner fender panel kit, front and rear also available in carbon…individual panels also available	from $895
Racing harnesses.  This kit does not come with seat belts as experience has shown that every builder wants a different belt solution.  Superlite Cars can provide certified racing harnesses at advantageous prices, or can recommend harness providers.  5-point lap, shoulder and sub-belt harnesses begin at:	from $399/pair
Track day door side bars.  Most sanctioning bodies allow the SLC to run track days with the standard “roof structure”.  But most track cars are equipped with door bars that increase the stiffness of the chassis, and provide increased resistance to intrusion into the cockpit in the event of a side-hit.  These can be ordered at the same time as the kit, and they generally preclude use of the optional dood cover panels as they interfere (they fit fine with the standard doors, of course).	from $395
Side exhaust cover plates.  When using a side exhaust, the pipes exit through the body.  These plates, available in aluminum or carbon fiber, protect the body from excessive heat and look good doing it.  Prices start at:	$145
Race Roll cage Upgrade. Adds increased stiffness, and meets FIA, NASA and SCCA regulations for race car safety in most of their series- consult RCR for details before you select this option. Includes side bars that dramatically stiffen the door openings, tie-in bars to the front suspension area, additional cross bracing inside the monocoque in the front to add stiffness in the front, and other miscellaneous changes to the cage. Bolts in, and requires no welding, so it is easy to remove if you decide to convert to the street, or upgrades are added later. Interferes with the optional lower door panels (which are not needed in a race car).	from    $3995
Race column. This is a traditional, lightweight racing steering column with no switches, no collapsible internals, and no electric anything. Price reflects discount from appropriate stage or complete kit as it replaces the normal tilt/tele column.	$295
Electric power steering- race or track only.  This option uses a powerful electric power steering unit that mounts on the race column (it does not fit the standard street steering column) and is adjustable by the driver during competition to get just the right amount of assist for the conditions.  Can be switched off if a fault develops, leaving the standard steering in place with no additional steering effort.	$2,995
Adjustable pedals. Consists of a CNC aluminum plate mounted to the monocoque that allows the pedal set to be moved forward or backward as needed for different drivers. Requires that a nut be loosened, after which the pedal assembly can be re-located further forward or backward. Simple, lightweight and inexpensive.	$195
CV Joint Upgrade. The standard CVs and axles are rated for 1000 HP. For more powerful engines, or drag race duty, even stronger joints are available. Please contact RCR before the complete kit or axles are purchased as this is a replacement option, not an add-on. These upgraded CVs are in use at the highest levels of motorsport, and are almost unbreakable.	from $1395
Custom shift cables. RCR can assist with procuring reliable shift cables from it’s extensive supplier network. These cables are reliable, resistant to heat (though not immune to extreme temps, so routing and insulation must be considered), and are custom made to fit the requirements of each car. Since every builder can locate the shifter where it works best, the cable lengths must vary as well. Also, routing differences will alter the nominal length. When you are ready to install the shift cables, contact RCR to help in learning how to measure the correct length. RCR will then procure the correct cables. Prices vary but are in the $300-400 range.	$POA
Chassis-mounted Carbon Fiber wing, including mounting brackets and required hardware. This wing is substantially lighter than the fiberglass wing, and has a more developed chord for increased downforce. It is constructed of a very lightweight honeycomb base with strong carbon fiber applied for strength. The wing has the “dry” carbon fiber look characteristic of autoclave-built products, but has been covered with a clear coat to display and protect the intrinsic beauty of the carbon fiber. Comes with aluminum side plates. Designed to allow on-track adjustability of angle of attack for tuning rear downforce for different circuits.	$2,895
Aluminum  hinging rear wing mounting system, suitable for either wing, not applicable  with “street” rear clip	$495
Adjustable motor mount system. Allows any engine to be mounted in the SLC without the need for welding, or for chassis changes.  Standard in all current kits, listed here for those who want to update their existing cars	$495
Racing Suspension Kit.  This suspension kit mounts to the stock mounting points, but is designed for racing use, where the stresses are higher, and ultimate strength and adjustability is paramount.  Not for street use, as the amount of movement in the race suspension is insufficient for street use.  As proven on the National Championship-winning factory race SLC in 2011.  Consists of specific uprights with 1-degree camber shims, machining for race calipers and offsets for race brake systems. Also includes race-specific control arms that are lighter, stronger, use encapsulated bearings (instead of rod-ends, as on the street suspension).  Talk to Superlite Cars before you order this, to coordinate your selection of brakes.	$7,850
Racing Brake system.  Superlite Cars has developed several racing brake systems.  Contact them for details to discuss your needs, including any class restrictions.	$POA
Custom Race wiring harness.  Racing demands the very best in harness preparation and Superlite Cars has worked with PRS to develop the optimal race-proven harness for your race SLC.  Contact Superlite Cars for more details.	$POA
DigiDash racing dash.  This dash instrument panel allows the driver to track lap times, and can be fitted with an optional GPS receiver for improved track mapping.  Comes with analysis and setup software, and all necessary cables , documentation and needed fuel sender.  Replaces the Koso gauge panel.  Price shown is for a swap from the Koso gauge system to the DigiDash, which can only be done at kit order time.  Outright purchase is an additional $495.	$995
Custom engine adapters.  Superlite Cars has developed a wide range of adapters to mate almost any popular engine to the common transaxles in use on the SLC.  If you need to mate a Ford mod motor to a Porsche transaxle, or an LS engine to a Ford transaxle, Superlite Cars has already done it, or can design and fabricate one that works for you, and the SLC.   Contact Superlite Cars for more details.	$POA
GM LS-engine accessory drives.  Often the hardest part of installing an engine in the SLC is finalizing the way the alternator, AC compressor and other parts will be installed on the engine, as space is tight.  Superlite Cars offers a proven solution for a front accessory drive for the LS engine series.  These vary in price somewhat based on the engine in question, so call Superlite Cars  for details and prices.	$POA
Note: Specifications and pricing subject to change without notice. Kit is supplied as a roller for shipping purposes only i.e. nothing is torqued etc.
