818's brother from another mother

Lotus 2-eleven ?

Never seen one in white. Looks vary much like the 818R from the side profile.

[David Hodgkins]

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen one of those...

:)

[flynntuna]

I always liked lotus. The resemblance has to be more than chance.
Didn't one of the contest entry's look similar?

[C.Plavan]

211's are awesome. That's why I went 818R.

[xxguitarist]

Have thought this since I first saw the 818.

A mere $129k new, ~$79k used

[riptide motorsport]

Wow.

[C.Plavan]

If we remove the rear humps like on the 211, we can actually see with our rear view mirror Brandon.

So here is a related question: What pre-1990 car most closely resembles the 818?

Oh, is that all? In that case I'll take...well, I'm out.

[Rasmus]

That is remarkably similar. I like the Lotus headlights over the 818's.

[Mechie3]

Lotus beats Camry? Who would've thought. :lol: If I had fiberglass skills I would take action on ideas I've had of using different headlights.

Its not like the 818 costs 15K after all the crap that has to go into it to make it a race car, so far the challenge car has been more economical, silly me to think that the 818 would get me away from the high costs of the challenge car, so I feel like I'm at Nordstrom with the 818 and at Walmart with the challenge car.

[Mechie3]

I wore shorts to work today.

I bought the shorts at Walmart.

True story. haha.

$15k would be a stretch. You would need to seriously control costs and not care as much about fit and finish (and performance at times). Good tires and wheels alone can blow teh $15k budget before you even start the build.

The 211 is a supreme amount of fun. Take an Exige, remove the roof, give a great looking body and remove more than 15% of its weight. What's not to love?
