Hi-Tech Automotive


Hi-Tech Automotive is a low volume car builder and design house located in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Most of the vehicles produced are exported, notably to the US and UK. The main distributor of the cars built by Hi-Tech is Superformance. In December 2005 Hi-Tech Automotive transferred the ownership of its subsidiary, Superformance, to the Hillbank Automotive Group, which is privately owned by Lance Stander.
All Superformance cars are originally built at Hi-Tech Automotive's plant in Port Elizabeth, South Africa before they are shipped as complete rolling chassis minus engine. Hi-Tech also supplies customers with non-road cars ready to race on the track.
