Read about it here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Seven#Top_speed> It was sold as a kit car in the UK which made it very popular since it avoided the taxes on a finished car. Lotus eventually sold the rights to a company called Caterham which has continued development and sales and produces many different models. <http://uk.caterhamcars.com/> There are other companies which produce similar cars.

As I pulled into restaurant parking lot this evening, I noticed an
unusual machine parked there.  A departing customer identified it as a
Polaris Slingshot, and commented that it was supposed to be a "badass"
machine.  All I had was my smart phone, so this is what I got. A quick
search revealed that it has a 4-cyl 2.4 liter engine and 5-speed
transmission driving the rear wheel with a reinforced belt.
