RE: Concept 6

[[e-mail]]

For my money, the simplest design.
I have a Super 7 now, but am always interested in lighter, faster, better if it's a good price !
Happy Holidays All,

Kinda looks old, like an old formula 1 car (can't remember the decade). It looks good but aren't concepts supposed to look to the future and come up with something that we haven't seen before?

Pic 6. Infringement of copyright. That nose cowling is not similar, it's identical, to the cowling of the 1958 Ginetta G2 (see latest Jan 2002 issue of Classic & Sportscar, out now, pages 120 to 123 where there is a back to back test between a Lotus 6 and the Ginetta G2.
Car of the 21st century - what a joke! There is only one car of the 21st century and it's been out since 1998 - the Dare DZ. All others do is to try and update the bloody Seven, get a ton of publicity then disappear. (Just like this lot will). Give me the Walkletts any day. No hype just amazing cars.

This is my favourite of a pretty average bunch, I'm afraid to say. How do any of these really move the Lotus/Caterham 7 concept forwards? Slightly improved aerodynamics (not difficult!)and seemingly less practicality than a seven (no screens etc).

I think the way to move forwards is to make the car mid-engined. Take a look at the Lotus 18 (note some styling similarities to the seven)www.grandprixdriver.de/1960_Lotus%2018_The%20Basis_.htm
An updated (but still with retro charm)widened two seater Lotus 18 type car could be an interesting idea. Anyone agree?
