Default Zolfe Orange (Suzuki Hayabusa 1.3L motorcycle engine)




"Plucky Brit has plenty of juice
This little orange tyke could be the next big thing in British sports cars.

The Zolfe Orange is designed to be as home on the track as on the road.

Based in the Midlands and built by design duo Nic Strong and Gary Collins, the Zolfe Orange uses a Suzuki Hayabusa 1.3-litre motorcycle engine.

But don't scoff at the small capacity, because this motor pumps out 156bhp in standard trim to propel the 600kg Orange from 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds and on to 135mph.

"We were uninspired by the choice of track day cars, so we designed and produced a car we wanted," says Nic Strong.

"It's been designed to be comfortable yet still provide lots of fun."

Zolfe already has a bulging order book for the £25,000 Orange, and the car is expected to go into full production in mid-2006" Topgear

After watching the Z4M coupe topic I think the shape is very similar

This one doesn't looks nothing special but it's not bad at all, and I really love very light cars with motorbike engines

I would love to see a video 8)

Pretty awkward looking from the front, but I like the rear view.

Sounds like a good combination of light weight and motorcycle engine, so it could be quite fun.

I like rear view too but front view is ugly. I don't like this kind headlights. I like caterham super seven kind cars. This looks good IMO. Specs are not bad but I want to see this cars on top gear tracks time.
