The drive to be thin has hit the supercar industry--just take a look at the Rapier Superlite Coupe. The Superlite Coupe looks like it's been on a diet of coffee and breadsticks for some time.
The Rapier Superlite Coupe is made with "space-age materials" which helps it to keep its weight low and its speed high. The Superlite comes at a premium price of $179,000, which I'm told is cheap for a supercar. I'm only $169,900 dollars away from owning one.
