I already own the moulds to build that car...last one went back to the UK.
RCR's Next car should be.....
- Thread starter Big-Foot
- Start date
What do you have against Jar Jar? :laugh:It's a Caterham, blown up 150%. And it's ugly.
Edit: It looks like this....
As you alluded, there are / have been quite a few UK manufacturers in that segment of the market, including two very well-known ones. The SLR was arguably similar. I think that the Nemesis cars are preferable for a similar type of driving experience.How about something like this. They aren't available in the states, cost upwards of 200k, and are technically mid engine. Nobody better make any caterham comments :laugh:
RCR already has quite a range of cars, but I still think that there's room for something original and exotic looking, with a central driving position + 2 passengers.
If it has to be / look like a replica, I'd vote for the 904 (one was made, but demand didn't appear to be there) or something Alfa Romeo-esque.

We have another 904 being readied for delivery actually
Many people love the idea of three seats but the mclaren F1 seats are tiny and uncomfortable , it's also a real chore to get into the center driving seat.
So the size of the car would have to grow considerably to accommodate three full size people
Just my observations from crawling around super cars and designing and building them from scratch

Yes but track only
No glass windshield
I have many wild and wonderful cars that we can build but they are not commercial successes so we build them as one offs to order

I'm already imagining how to mount a seat on the spare tire carrier and bolting an MG mount on the roof (I am dead serious about this...)
Fran, would you want me to bring up a beltfed and a mount so we can have the tabs welded on before you powdercoat, and in time for PRI? (BTW Indiana is MG friendly...)
