Very nice! However I predict a small name change when the cats sharks see this http://www.irmscher7.de/
It contains the number formerly known as S*v*n.

Still its nice when a top german tuner takes on a car design like that and builds a top dollar $even.

I suspect they have a legal department big enough to remind Caterham they don't actually own a trademark on just the number.

Now if they called it 'The Seven', 'The 7' or 'Super 7' things would be different. Caterham do own those trademarks.

It's in fact just a VM77 kit-car.

725kg and 260hp vauxhall engine giving 358hp per tonne, for £38,000



OR


570kg and 204hp vauxhall engine giving............358hp per tonne, for £5500........................

tricky descision but I'll stick with the locost I think!!!

It is approved to drive on german roads.

So:
- no 102 dB(A)
- meets EU regulation on exhaust emission
- brakes and driving are tested on higher level

But who cares?

BTW: The donkervoort-locost start around 90.000 Euro
