Fighter Jet Meets Supercar: Inside the Bulleta RF 22

Aero Fury - When talking about machines that blend raw power with sleek, cutting-edge design, people often think of fighter jets soaring through the skies. It’s not every day that a car manages to capture that same adrenaline rush on the road—but that was exactly the ambition behind the creation of the Bulleta Motors RF 22. This vehicle wasn’t just engineered for speed and performance—it was shaped by the influence of an advanced fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. A bold idea, yet one that turned out to be impressively real.

Behind the futuristic form of the RF 22 is none other than Samir Sadikhov, a designer already known for sculpting automotive art like the Aston Martin DBC and the Cadillac C Ville. Sadikhov brought a jet-inspired vision to life in this car, crafting a silhouette that is slim, angular, and deliberately aggressive. Even the name “RF 22” nods directly to its airborne muse, the F-22 Raptor, signaling the brand’s desire to align the car’s identity with the world of advanced aviation.

The foundation of the RF 22 is based on the agile and lightweight Lotus Evora. With a curb weight of around 1,363 kg (or just over 3,000 pounds), the car's handling feels tight and nimble—ideal for taking on curves and straightaways alike. The front end features sharp lines paired with bi-xenon headlights that offer a menacing, modern gaze. At the rear, a sporty diffuser reinforces the car’s aggressive posture. Performance isn’t limited to what’s under the hood; the RF 22 also boasts carbon ceramic brakes for elite stopping power and sits on 19-inch carbon fiber rims wrapped in Michelin Super Sport tires, making sure it grips the road with confidence.

At the heart of this beast lies a mid-mounted, 3.5-liter V6 supercharged engine that pumps out 505 horsepower and 555 Nm of torque. All that energy is delivered directly to the rear wheels, launching the car from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 3.6 seconds. While it can’t break the sound barrier like the F-22 jet it takes inspiration from, this machine definitely offers its own kind of thrill.

What makes the RF 22 even more unique is its customizability. Buyers aren’t just selecting a car—they’re creating their own version of it. Customers can choose between carbon fiber or composite body materials, as well as decide whether they want two or four seats inside. To elevate the exclusivity even further, each vehicle is paired with a Swiss-made luxury watch engraved with a serial number that matches the car’s—another thoughtful detail reflecting the aircraft-inspired DNA of the RF 22, as the numbering system mirrors that of the F-22 Raptor.

The Bulleta Motors RF 22 wasn’t just a car launched in 2013—it was a statement. It combined design, engineering, and storytelling into a single road-going masterpiece. For enthusiasts who crave more than just speed, but also heritage and personalization, the RF 22 remains a shining example of how imagination and precision can redefine what a supercar can be.
