Harper Type 6
Designed for the street. Born for the track. Engineered for drivers.
The Harper Type 6 is a South African designed, mid-engine sports car created for one purpose: to deliver a pure, confidence-inspiring driving experience. It is the evolution of decades of racing, engineering, and an unwavering belief that a great sports car should not only look exceptional it should drive even better.
Hand-built in South Africa, the Harper Type 6 is equally at home carving through mountain passes, cruising on open roads, or attacking apexes on the racetrack. It is a car designed for drivers who value precision, balance, and connection over gimmicks and excess.
Born from Racing. Built for Real Driving.
The Harper story began on the racetrack, and that DNA is embedded in every Type 6. Its mid-engine layout delivers perfect balance and predictable handling, while its lightweight engineering ensures exceptional responsiveness and agility. The result is a car that feels alive in your hands communicative, planted, and endlessly rewarding to drive.
Whether you are enjoying a weekend drive or pushing hard on track, the Type 6 inspires confidence and rewards skill, making every journey an experience rather than just a trip.
