Because Race Car

Exomotive exists to bring you the most exciting exoskeletal sports cars for the road and track. We are in love with the open air, minimalist driving experience and the thrill of the build. We want you to have as much fun building and driving your car as we do. Why do we do what we do? Our questions are answered with the simple phrase "because race car."

Amazing Value

Not everyone can afford a supercar. We aim to provide products that provide supercar thrills but are within the financial reach of motivated enthusiasts. We want you to have Ariel Atom fun, but we want you to have it a fraction of the price. We run our business with that in mind at all times and try to keep our prices and shipping costs as low as possible.

Massive Fun

Our motto is the same as Colin Chapman's. To add speed, add lightness. Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere. Our entire product line was born with this mantra to turn your run-of-the-mill road car into a massively fun car for the road, track and race.

You Are Not Alone

Building a car is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences you will have in your garage. We have an innovative, active owners group who are as excited as you are to share experiences and learn from one another. Get feedback and explore new ideas to take your build to the next level.
