Colin Chapman quote refering to Lotus engineering values :

It's kind of a shame though as looking at the engine and belts spinning back there when you are in reverse is pretty cool  |
It's actually a very light piece some time ago a member here had plans on making a carbon fiber panel to replace the window. The only problem was that there would have been almost zero weight savings so the idea was scrapped. The only good thing about deleting it would be better insulation from the heat in the engine bay compartment.
