Hopefully it won't be as ugly as a Rolex DP

Sketch looks good but I can't imagine the price

Slalom4me

"Pricing is anticipated to be set in the mid-$100k range for the base model"

.

AU N EGL

"Riley Technologies plans to pursue SCCA and NASA eligibility for the newest offering, which is anticipated to commence deliveries this fall."

Hmmm new NASA Super Unlimited car.



If mid Hundreds means anything like the housing market, then Mid Hundreds is 600-800K

MazdaRob

Or nowdays $50-$75K

AU N EGL

you have a point there

John Shiels

no sure exactly what that means I can take it a few ways.

Slalom4me

I interpreted "mid-$100k range" to mean $145-$165K. I'd expect them
to say $1/2M if the intention was to price this in the $400-$600K range.

All things considered, how hard/expensive would it be for Riley to offer
track-prepped knock-offs of what is essentially a domestic Ultima?

.

John Shiels

well it depends on their volume they expect. Out of my league at the moment in any case. What power / driveline are they offering?

If you do not want to wait for the Riley, you can always order one of these.

I only know what appears in the link that joemoia provided:

"The newest Riley will take to the track utilizing a mid-engine crate
motor, with over 500 horsepower motivating the lightweight machine"

I looked on Riley's site for more information on the proposed vehicle,
but drew a blank. However, after looking again at the offer for the
MKXI DP1 car ($405K on scrubs w/ customer's Pontiac, Ford, Lexus,
BMW or Porsche engine) and also at the MKXV GT car ($78K rolling
chassis/$275K for complete car, less eng), I have to concede that my
interpretation of the price mentioned by SPEEDTV must be incorrect.

Riley did LG's new GT2 car.....I think that's the same Riley.....anyway, not everything they build is as ugly as DP (although the DP racing is quite good).

joemoia

..and the Riley isn't the ugliest DP, I think the Dallara/Doran holds that title

That is the butt-ugliest racing vehicle on the circuit. And to think it is sponsored by Kodak.........

Website is undergoing a revamp, so info may not be available right away.

I guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few months though

Now that is very cool.

any idea on what mid 100s means?

Might the NASA Super Unlimited BIG DOG . . .

TLGunman

Some where towards the middle of the $100-200k range
