Lotus Exige Killer: McLaren Designer’s New Whip
Written by steven on February 21, 2008 – 11:43 am -
Jim Dowle, a designer for Gordon Murray’s McLaren F1 design team, has a new sportscar in the works that is supposedly priced at a very reasonable £35k. The target weight is 870 kg and the yet to be named whip is set to go against the Lotus Exige.
Its designed for “out-and-out straight line speed” and is supposed to be more “usable” then the Lotus Exige. Jim Dowle’s new whip is expected to pack 200 bhp (horsepower) in a mid-mounted aluminium/carbon chassis, and is designed to be “fun to drive”, according to PistonHeads. At this point, its a quarter scale model, and they’re still working on providing luggage space, but if everything turns out as it should, this might be a very sweet ride for the price.
