RUSH Auto Works
RUSH Auto Works Inc. was founded late 2017 to develop, market and produce affordable, high performance race and track-day cars. The company ethos is simple: every vehicle we build will be a rush to drive, guaranteed!
Beyond this, we have a vision that high performance motorsport has reached such stratospheric pricing that the normal man simply can’t afford to get in. The RUSH SR, has been designed from the ground up to address that issue. It provides an affordable platform and yet exudes technology and performance typically found in vehicles costing three to ten times as much.
Company founder, David Hosie, has applied his 35 years of product design, manufacturing and development knowledge to the design of the car to allow volume manufacturing of the car at a low cost, permitting the car to be sold at a highly competitive price point. The design has been optimized for production, reliability and longevity to not only keep the cost of the car down, but to also ensure that our customers also enjoy an operating cost significantly below that of our primary competition.
The RUSH Auto Works facility, located on the West side of Houston, is in a 30,000 sqft facility where we have our own 5-axis CNC machines for machining of body plugs, composite manufacturing facilities and in-house chassis fabrication facilities.
RUSH Auto Works has grown substantially since 2020, delivering our first cars in 2021 and growing quickly to over 250 delivered by the end of 2024, the launch of the extreme-performance SRX, a successful regional series in the US & Canada, and an extremely successful national series with GridLife!
