Huh? What? Lotus revisited?

 

That looks wicked...

 

dang that would be one sick weekend toy.

 

A hardtop Caterham?

Looks like a Cruella De'vil wagon, what with the long hood and all. Ugly.

Visually, I think the long hood is mitigated by the fact that the car is so small. At least from the front, this D8 looks like a modern interpretation of the Lotus 7, which looks just fine in person:



In fact, I think the hood on the Lotus might even be *longer*, compared to the total length of the car.

 

its a german version of the classic Lotus 7. very good car from all acounts.

uses a tuned Audi/VW 1.8T engine (normaly run over 300bhp i think) and weight 600+kg.

not as light as the caterham and probably not as hardcore as the latest caterhams but still good.

if you like these car then mayeb have a look at a DAX. they do a version called the MC which has camber adjusting suspension and uses a 1.3 hyabusa engine. several have truboed these engines to verious levels of tune. all in a car that weighs around 500kg!

Cheers

Chris.

PS here ia a guys with a very nice westfield.............

Eeek, looks like a Prowler to me.

 

I'd rather have the Lotus 7.

 

Agreed. That thing almost looks tacky compared to the smoother lines of the 7.

 

theyre not german, theyre dutch. and the caterhams are not more "hardcore" as Donkervoort holds a healthy margin for the fastest roadcar (barring Radical) lap time on the ring. even by wikipedia's standards donkervoort is up on the caterham by 41 seconds.

 

It's still ugly.

Batmobile?

 

Looks like a Plymouth Prowler on steroids! FUGLY!!

 

Sick.

that thing is MANtastic

 

That thing is sweet, although the gearshift could use a moyle.

 

I thought you would like it. It just looks Evil. My buddy in the Netherlands knows the guy who makes them. On next trip over we are going for a visit and I hope a drive. On my last trip I got to play in the new 135I. He told the local BMW dealer I was moving there . They gave me the keys and said have fun. I really really liked it.

ha ha, Ima have to get on that traveling program.... :D

 

It looks like a really pissed off Seven that's been hanging out in the Nissan design studios too long.

 

there's an authentic classic original Lotus here in town. stunning in person.

that thing is a bit of an abomination but that's why I like it Ditch the wheels though....those Volks belong on something AWD like an EVO.

 

its a Donkerwoort works LSIS - but the price is much bigger than hard-tuned mini in US.

Its a handmsde car - just a joy for rich man, not a drive-each-day car

 

Interesting... but I'd rather have a Locost.

 

its euro locost from rich carosserie

LSIS is a myth as it is low cost supercar

neither locost nor good engineering goes hand by hand


my quotation for LSIS goes to 20-25 kUSdollars - without exterier

 

Ok... I should have been clearer...

I'd rather build a locost...
