The Nota Fang is designed for the serious sports/racing
enthusiast who also wants a nippy road car. It is truly in
the spirit of Colin Chapman's original concept for the Lotus 7, brought up
to date with a mid-engined layout. You can choose from a
variety of power plants. In road trim and with a modern engine,
it conforms to all current and foreseeable Australian Design Regulations.
The rear engine layout gives the Fang a low polar moment,
as the main mass is at the car's centre of gravity. It also
allows much more room in the cabin as there is no transmission tunnel
or intrusion in the foot well.
The Nota Fang's specifications are open to individual
tailoring to meet your requirements, be it for road, track,
or a combination of both.
Engines:
Transversely mounted behind the driver. Engine options:
Honda 2000cc 161kw Integra
Toyota 1800cc (Corolla VVTi 141Kw )
Chassis:
Multi-tubular spaceframe with bonded alloy tub.
Suspension:
Adjustable multi-link wishbones and spring shocks.
Braking:
Four wheel disks with bias adjustment.
Body:
Aluminium tub with other panels in fibreglass. Optional whale-tail
(as used on Nota F1).
Also the Nota Fang, with its transverse engine
mechanicals/chassis package can be clad with the nose, bonnet, rear
guards and tail panels of a traditional clubman (but with all the
benefits of a mid-engined design).
Comment:
Weighing in at around 450Kg, the Nota Fang has an
exceptional power to weight ratio with any of the
suggested engines.
Holder of 1300cc lap record at Oran Park (short
circuit) and Willowbank and it has the outright record at
Noosa Hill Climb regardless of capacity,
taking the record from a 5-litre TVR with a 1300cc engine.
