You're hearing it right, but it's not right (unless you're in the US).
It works out at 84mpg (imperial) !?!

Fair enough! The original Lotus 7 only had 40 bhp.....

I've just spent 20 minutes reading about the MAX car. The chap whos built it sounds like an ace bloke. LOL@ him crashing it as soon as it was registered though!

yikes



wonder if a 2CV engine would be good in a lightweight 7?

Ive got a 2cv engined ali 2 seater, inspired by 'The Book', but on original chassis so no lightweight. Lots of fun, does about 80 with the wind behind it. Whole different experience from driving the Locost, but I'm undecided which I prefer!
