A 1:1 scale foam model was first made, and soon after, it was handed over to Windsor Coachworks. After that, it took 12,500 hours to bring it all together and ensure the vehicle’s panels were as perfect as possible.
Scrolling through the vehicle’s Instagram posts, you better understand exactly what went into the process, with the final product ending up somewhere between a De Tomaso Sport 1000 and a Lola Lola T70.
It looks like the vehicle that inspired the De Tomaso P72. The ’60s styling is just unmissable, and the donor vehicle’s lightweight construction will complement it exceptionally well. The Exige S was equipped with a supercharged Toyota 2ZZ-GE four-pot producing 220 horsepower, and if the weight was kept in the same region, it should be able to match the Lotus’ original 0 to 60 mph time of 4.1 seconds.
