Today my daughter .trumble_ (and now social media manager 🙏😍) created these pictures of what the final project car should look like.

The car is an Exocet kit car based built on a MX5 Skate.

The car includes gold pro springs from and chassis and kit from

The donor uses a MZR (not a typo) 2L naturally aspirated engine ~160hp ;combined with the new chassis total weight should be ~700kg, so at best 230hp per tonne, 0-60mph 4-5 seconds (so I am told).

Thanks to some good advice from Kevin, we are delaying joining the chassis to the skate, and doing the brake and fuel lines, at least first.

Rough maths, the Exocet MEV KIT CARS we are building uses a donor MX5 MZR (not a typo) 2L naturally aspirated engine ~160hp combined with the new chassis total weight of ~700kg, so at best 230hp per tonne, 0-60mph 4-5 seconds (so I am told).

Why work this out? I wanted to make some sense of the statistics Phil Revolution Race Cars was talking about when I saw him this evening

Local company Revolution Race Cars has made a track car with a turbo'd 2L engine with a similar body weight ~700kg, but achieved 436hp per tonne, and it is a HYPERSport Car. It looks stunning.

I wish everyone at Revolution Race Cars the best of luck with the first race at Portiamo in October.

Million-dollar, carbon-tubbed track cars are ten a penny; those that cost the same as a 911 rather less so
