sciff5 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Has anyone seen this thing? Honestly I like the look of the Lotus 7 and some of its Locost alternatives but I do wish it had a more modern look and this may be a bit extreme but really brings the cars look into the 21st century. http://www.garaget.org/?car=87148 This is by far the best looking lotus 7 type car I've seen although I'm sure if you want a car that looks like an original car.. this is the last thing you'de find appealing. It looks radically different but I cant put my finger on what makes it look so radically different. Obviously the aero, and the headlights.. but thats really it that I can see.. what else is different from a standard lotus7 variants out there? I cant imagine thats the only difference. Does anyone else know of any other lotus7s with a more modern look like this? This car really got me excited about starting my build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looks a lot like Kevin's "Mojito" (WCM S2K with wings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoPho Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I don't think it looks all that modern at all. It has some modern touches such as the lights but you can do that with any seven type car. About the only thing "modern" about it is the raked windshield and big honkin' wheels. I think it is a bit ill proportioned and ugly. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/533.gif Here IMO is a more modern interpretation, the Toniq http://www.britishspeed.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12328&stc=1&d=1275515439 http://britishracinggroup.com/toniq_sales/pic/stealthFull2.jpg .

DeanG Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Interesting car. There is a lot of engine packed in the front. The shorty exhaust is odd. I would be afraid of CO poisoning due to airflow. To my eyes the Lotus 340R is the best reinterpretation of a Seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 One person's "modern" is another person's "butt-ugly":). It looks like a garden variety se7en w/some areo mods stuck on that should make it grip better. So it lost me on the aesthetics but the mods shd enhance on track performance.

supersportsp Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 That looks like a Birkin with a full cage and wings. I also fail to see the modernity in the design. This is a 'modern' Seven in my eyes. http://www.eternalmachinery.com/seven/donkervoort_x.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciff5 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 As clarkson would say YESSSS. That is a much better example but cost prohibitive to own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
