There’s a point where both art and science meet in a person’s mind and that point is appropriately called creativity. Creativity fuels not just admirable features and functions but also innovations on already existing creations. The automobile industry has always been the breeding ground for such forms of creations but rarely does design and work meet. The RA is the exceptional product of such with manufacturing processes that are essentially aerospace technology. The RA is committed to turn every driving experience into a lifestyle for people who want to feel the sheer pleasure of driving once more.
The Rizk Auto RA is the perfect embodiment of style and function combined as it does not only look astoundingly beautiful outside but it also possesses unadulterated power in its jaguar 6 cylinder or V12 cylinder engine. Priced at $180,000, it can also have a fuel-injected corvette LS3 V8 engine for people who want a smooth comfortable fast ride. The front and rear suspensions are full independent with wheel disc brakes and adjustable coil over shocks. The 2010 Rizk Auto RA boasts of having the best technological support so if you’re looking for car that is the future, then this might be the perfect vehicle you’re looking for.
Every vehicle in the same category of RA has always used what is commonly known as the space frame or ladder type chassis. These are cage like frames built usually out of steel tubing and welded together on a jig. The main advantages to this type of structure are very low tooling costs and they can be built to good stiffness. Yet the space frame has two significant flaws. They are heavy (if strength and stiffness are achieved) and extremely inefficient in packaging especially for the occupants of the vehicle. This immediately eliminated the space frame as an option for RA.
We decided that the chassis will not be compromised. Thus an all Carbon monocoque chassis was the only solution. There is only one disadvantage to this design: it is prohibitively expensive. Yet we were undaunted and the challenge thus became to engineer the tooling and chassis to aircraft quality standards. We consulted with one of the best men in the industry; Philip Henderson; a composites guru whose extensive Formula 1 resume includes the Benetton team during the tenure of Michael Schumacher (he won 2 world championships with them) and the distillation of his expertise and experience resulted in the RA chassis.
The Rizk Auto RA has a fully independent front and rear suspension system with adjustable coil-over shocks and Wilwood disc brakes all around. Engine options include either a Jaguar V6, a Jaguar V12 or a fuel-injected LS3 Corvette V8. Both Jaguar engines are offered with 5 speed manual transmissions while with the Corvette engine comes with a choice of either a 6-speed manual gearbox or an automatic 6-speed.
The interior of the Rizk RA can be completely customized and features Herman Miller Aeron chairs adapted to a fit a machined rail system for seats, height-adjustable steering (with 4 inches of travel) and reach-adjustable Tilton Racing pedals (with 15 inches of travel). Total cost: roughly $180,000.
