Looking for pure driving pleasure? These lightweight Lotus 7 replicas often offer some of the best bang for the buck. This particular example features a 2.0L 16V Ford Zetec engine with gear selection done with a short throw shifter. Leadfoot Muscle Cars is offering it for $29,900.

Sweet! I'm going to look and see if folks make honda V Tak YO! motored versions.
You're looking for the WCM Ultralight, then.

Caterham does an Ecoboost Seven.
I wanna build one of these so bad and put a 12a into it.
I agree that the Superformance 7esque is the nicest-finished one that I've seen. But for that money, you can get so much more performance in a used kit car that a Zetec seems mundane.

My bad, Ford built one and paraded it around. That said, a 2.0 Ecoboost is on the list of engines on Caterham USA's website.
How about a 13-B turbo?
