What did I see? Low, no roof, front end like an Elise S2?

Saw some awesome thing this morning, low slung, not much bigger than an Elise, looked like it had an Elise S2 front end but definitely wasn't one. It had a huge rear wing and was completely open top, not even a convertible. Any ideas? This was on the A71 heading towards Edinburgh. It was Red with black rollbars and rear wing.

Definitely not an Ultima. Any ideas?

By "completely open top" do you mean it had no windscreen?

Wasn't a 2-11 or a 340r.

Or a Venom. Completely open by the looks of it although it was going the other way.

Renaultsport Spider? ETA, they don't have wings. frown

If it wasn't for the assertion that it wasn't an Ultima i would have thought that was the best bet.

Are you sure?

I know of a bright red 211 with black rollcage that lives in that area

I've seen at least one kit car using the S2 Elise front lights. Can't remember what it was called or where I saw it, though.

That's what threw me, I know of all these cars and it wasn't any of them.
