Superlite Aero R #002 for Sale

[John]

I'm selling my Superlight Aero R and someone is going to get a heck of a deal. This is by far the most sorted and developed Aero in existence. This car has extensive upgrades and won 3rd in the SU class at the 2024 NASA Championships. It's an absolute hoot to drive! I'm basically selling this car for the price of the engine, transaxle, electronics and wheels - the Milspec wiring harness, brakes, battery, shifting system, steering system, chassis, body, floor, wings, windshield, tools and spares are pretty much free. Price it out and you'll see what I mean. Full transparency - drivers over 6'2" in height should not buy this car as you won't fit well. Just sayin'. ;-)

This car is fully prepped and ready for the track. It's got fresh engine and transaxle oil and filters, the half shafts have been serviced and greased, there's fresh vinyl on the body and a new Pyrotect fuel cell that's certified until 2030. This sale also includes the 2-piece mold we used to make the air intakes for the oil coolers, in case you want to make some out of carbon fiber. The Lifeline Fire Bottle has been recharged as well and is good through 2027. This vehicle has never been crashed or wrecked and comes with a lot of spares, tools and supplies (see the details below). Note that I have also listed this vehicle on racingjunk.com.

Here's the details:

This Superlite Aero R has extensive performance and safety modifications resulting in a very safe yet extremely fast race car. The pedals, wheels, wheel studs, master cylinders, steering column, steering rack, steering wheel, seat, water reservoir, water pump, battery, wiring harness, electronics, transaxle, shifting system, fire suppression system, floor, rear diffuser and rear wing have all been upgraded over stock. It also comes with Electric Power Steering, an AiM SmartyCAM, a custom carbon fiber air intake, two sets of Forgeline racing wheels with used Pirelli slicks plus a set of new Pirelli rain tires.

For clarity's sake, this sale includes two sets (8 wheels) of Forgeline wheels with used Pirelli slicks on them. Apologies for any confusion.

Here's a video of starting the car. You need to build oil pressure prior to starting as it has a dry sump. So, turn the power on, leave the Ignition off and press the Start button until you see the oil pressure building. Once the oil pressure is >10 psi, release the start button, press the Ignition button, wait for the fuel pump to engage and then press the Start button until it starts. Ignore the low fuel pressure - it's low because we are just starting the car. ;-)
