LotusStig22 · 10-18-2009, 06:06 PM

Oh, I've heard of those!
Near-Veyron performance for like, 5% of the cost?

DPM · 10-18-2009, 06:20 PM

Good find. I've been looking for one for 3 years! Where did you get the lead?

I may just go ahead and build one. The engine supplier is just a 3 hour drive from here.

FIL · 10-18-2009, 06:22 PM

nice. How much if you don't mind my asking.

ggelise · 10-18-2009, 06:53 PM

You Lucky Bastard!

DrJ · 10-18-2009, 07:23 PM

Wow, that looks fun. Long shot, but is it street legal in the US?

doug_porsche · 10-18-2009, 07:27 PM

It can be leagalized at a kit car - there are a couple in the SF Bay Area.

funny story....

a guy i know has one and my buddy was sitting in it and hes rather tall.
he goes to close the door and slammed it right on his head.
ouch.

Tejs · 10-19-2009, 08:11 AM

Some day I would want to make one of those, but I don't have the mechanical expertise to do it =/

breinhar · 10-19-2009, 09:14 AM

I have always wondered what it would take to build one of these. I have gone around their site alittle and from the sound of it you wouldnt need a whole lot of knowledge to do so. They put together the important parts. I did the whole S/c install on my lotus myself so I am wondering if this is in the same area but just a lot more work. And I wonder money wise what it is to build one. I dont think I would want to build one if I couldnt register it in my state (currently PA). Is there a forum for these?

do they come as a rolling chassis, or do you have to assemble the whole car?

Darth G-F · 10-19-2009, 11:41 AM

I've been looking to buy one of those myself. There are only a handful in Canada and none of the few I contacted wanted to sell.

Amazing car. Have fun!

Thats gonna leave a mark...

TTZip · 10-19-2009, 12:07 PM

These cars are available as rollers or as a full kit minus drivetrain. I will be building on of these in 2-3 years for sure. I have another project which I will be working on first.

Tejs · 10-20-2009, 05:23 AM

Who makes the fully assembled car here in the US? Do they also register it, or is that something the buyer has to do?
