In the current issue of Auto Motor Klassiek is a very interesting story about kitcars. For classic enthusiasts with a perspective of perspective, this type of vehicle is usually endearing or stimulating greed.
Because how much chance is there to score a real Cobra or Ford GT40?
But the Lotus 7 like Caterhams, Westfields and so on, still form a major part of that sector.
And in the search for even more speed, the builders made the switch to the installation of motorcycle blocks some time ago.
These motorcycle blocks not only run 10.000 + rpm easily, they also deliver power of 1.000 – 140 horsepower with very little weight and a displacement of such an 160 cc. And there are even kits that use two Kawasaki ZX9R blocks. That together deliver such an 280 hp
And how 'pure' that classical technology is all?
But it is staggeringly fun.
