>From the Oct. 19 issue of AutoWeek (yes, I'm behind in my reading):
"A horsepower race in Lotus Seven Replicas? British sports car
builders Caterham and Westfield will each debut new sports cars
at the Birmingham Motor Show . . .
Caterham will introduce a light-weight Super Seven that uses a
modified Vauxhall 2.0-liter, 16-valve four-cylinder producing
250 hp. The engine has been dropped into a 1190-pound Super
Seven, lightened via a stripped interior and carbon-fiber front
fenders. A 4.5-second zero to 60 mph time is claimed."
Woo woo woo!!
Obligatory Bad News: Only building 100, 60 kilbucks each.
