Caterham Super Seven

The super Seven is a component car, originally the seventh design by Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus. It was designed in the late 1950s but is still being manufactured today. Mine weighs 1200 pounds and has about 130 horse power. With autocross tires, it generates 1.25 gees lateral cornering force. One variant held the world record for 0-60 mph for a production car in 3.48 seconds. It is a street legal race car.
The kids like it because they can see over the sills. It is light, nimble and quick, just like the NSX and the Elise.

And last I checked, they stopped making the 7 in 1972.

P.S. - not to mention their 0-60 times were just sub 8 seconds, not 3.4x

P.P.S. - after a bit more research, I stand corrected. I was not aware that a third party had taken up production of the Lotus Seven after it was discontinued in 1972. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterham_Seven

A 60 thousand dollar, rediculously fast go-cart.

Seriously, I challenge you to find a go-cart that will lap a road course faster than a bugati veyron.
