Notes:- Due to popular demand, this model has now been re-released. The curvaceous bodywork is very appealing and brings back the classic lotus looks.
It has not changed much since the initial launch and still uses the Midget for donor parts but the chassis has been updated and changes made for the SVA.
It's dimensionally longer and wider than the original and seems a bit faster too, early models reported to do 0-60 mph in 9 secs, top speed of 100+ mph! |
