There was a yellow Suzuki concept car that came out/flashed about the same time as the GSX-R/4 and the the "Radical" that car was nice....looking for it now.

Hard to find but worth the wait....Lovely concept and do-able in a spartan/locost ideal.

The below car is the Hayabusa Prototype

Hayabusa Prototype

Nice little package.....
Look on the "specs page" it has a stripped rolling chasis that could pass for a modern Uncle Ron Special danced out by suzuki. It has pretty skin though....

reminds me of the renault spider

I really like the yellow one. How much would that cost to realise on a locost chassis?

Depends on your skill....

I assume the guys that did the Haybusa Race car were an in-house design team. Usually they have any tool and technic at their disposal cost is not the priority results are.

I remember that when the GSX R/4 came out I beleive popular science ran an article on it and some guy said they were for sale but estimated they could be made for about $23,000.
(Road and trackhas an article written in 2003 saying it could produce the yellow one in 2006)

Although GRP might be easier

As the saying goes; "a picture paints a thousand words".
Just look at the length of the Y in the 4-2-1.
