Special Note:
Once upon a time, not so long ago, sports cars were about simplicity, balance and light weight (This vehicle only weighs 1,975 Lbs). Horsepower was certainly welcome, though not necessarily essential, as handling and agility were at least as important as outright speed. Throughout the ’50s and ’60s, featherweights like the Porsche 550 Spyder and Lotus Seven exemplified this “handling over horsepower” approach to going fast, driving circles around scores of heavier, more powerful competitors.
