scannon Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Bragging rights, my Baby 7 has only 3.5 HP but is capable of 35 mph and I can drive it. I ran an autocross at the LOG in Colorado Springs and it was third from last. The two slower entrants were electric wheel chairs. The Baby 7 blew them away. It is parked next to my former Caterham SV powered by a turbocharged 1,800cc Miata engine which dyno'd at 301 RWHP and weighed 1,430 lbs. I still have the Baby 7 and wish I still had the Caterham.

IamScotticus Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Is that a real Lotus nose? Hard to tell by the pic, but I'll bet its not far off, maybe three inches narrower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The nose is probably narrower than that. The car is 5/8th scale of an original Lotus 7. The nose is fiberglass, the rest of the body is aluminum. The fenders were formed using a planishing hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
