Could even be a spinoff from the Caterham SV-R

It might be a Dax Rush.... they are kit cars and can use a Cosworth engine with 350bhp + :shock: ... not sure tho. There are about a million spin-offs from the original Lotus 7 car

Almost 100% positive this is a decked out Donkervoort. The front gave it away, but do I see red letters on the side with that name ?

Donkervoort -> dutch Lotus 7 manufacturer, is known for the best quality among the spin-offs...

Nope...it's not the Donkervoort...look at the indicators...they're Westfield indicators, the Donkervoort has the indicators on the suspension arms and the Westfield has them on separate stalks.

I'd say its the donkervoort....
There are many 7 remakes today....Caterham, westfield donkervoort..i'm sure you'll find more..
I thought it was the westfield too, more like the XTR, but the front is definitely off a Donkervoort IMO]


Plus, you can actually see the donkervoort badge in front...(the red wings)

I'm changing my opinion too...you guys are confusing the hell out of me with all those different pictures...I went to the two websites to compare and that's the only way I was able to distinguish them.
