Kit car build, exo frame style, what is there?

[AngryBaldMan]

I'm looking to do a kit car build, but I want it to be fast, properly fast. My previous quick car was an R32GTR with about 700bhp, and my current bike is a 205bhp Ducati 1299s

So, whats about that fits the bill? Obviously the Ultima would be superb, but that's way beyond my budget, and as a first build quite adventurous. I'd like it to be cost effective to build.

Power wise, to get a similar power to weight of the R32GTR would be nice....

Has to be a kit. I need the project.

What about a R1ot with a 1.6 ecoboost that can be tuned to 300hp without internal mods, can buy all the bits including the engine from one place (basically a mid engine seven), or if you want something more streamlines then the basis for the Sylva sportscars j17 is the same.

Looks like their website is perhaps not their highest priority.

For track use Id be looking at a turbo BEC Fury.
Useable on the street too.

Is that bike engined? I'm not too interested in anything bike engined. I have a bike for that.

That's a good point Huff. I suppose I'm thinking 300bhp would be fun in a sub 700kg car.

I suppose I'm put off with the bike engine as I have a fast bike, so I know that "most" bike engines will have less power then my bike, and all kit cars will be heavier than my bike.

I looked at the V-storm and got some prices, it would appear to be quite an expensive kit. By that, I don't mean for what it is, but they offer a drive away, fully built car for £30k, but to buy the parts it £27k inc VAT and you still need a donor vehicle? It just doesn't stack up.

now that does look interesting....
