There’s one small detail you should know about the world’s cheapest supercar: it’s delivered in parts and needs to be built by hand.
With prices starting at just over $38,000, it’s ideal for supercar fans who can’t afford a McLaren.
What’s more, the world’s cheapest supercar, which packs a punch with 610bhp, can hit a top speed of 306km/h (190mph).

Lithuania-based Rhino Racing’s RR01 was designed to accept just about any engine and transmission.
However, there’s the option to add the V10 engine from an Audi R8.



What’s more, it can be assembled by hand with a user-friendly assembly plan that can be executed “without extensive technical knowledge”.
If you have a bit more nous and a bit less cash, however, this working Cybertruck and Cyberquad were built in 100 days using wood for just $15,000.
And Elon Musk himself said he “appreciated” the effort.
Another eco-friendly supercar includes this one spun from spider silk, with a far heftier $3 million price tag.
Rhino Racing claim that their budget-friendly motor “offers a thrilling driving experience with its low weight, powerful engine, and excellent downforce”.
And, while it’s engineered for racing, it’s also perfect “for weekend driving adventures” – if that’s more your thing.



“With its impressive performance and sleek design, RR01 is the perfect car for those who appreciate the joy of driving,” Rhino Racing said on their website.
While the price point of the world’s cheapest supercar sounds like a steal, additional costs need to be taken into account.
If you don’t have an appropriate engine lying around, that more than doubles the cost with an additional $41,000.



Features that cost extra include the interior that Rhino Racing claims “combines comfort and racing features”.
There’s a custom steering wheel, six-point roll cage, Tillet racing seats, and Sabelt safety harnesses.
The plus point is that this pricey option comes with a full rebuild, a single mass flywheel and a racing clutch, a straight-cut sequential gearbox, a limited-slip differential, a motorsport ECU and wiring loom.
Other accessories are also thrown in for the additional cost.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
