Build this car in your own garage!
Midlana is a lightweight high performance sports car you build yourself; a reinterpretation of the classis Lotus Seven utilizing a modern FWD drivetrain mounted mid-engine. Mounting the engine behind the driver has many advantages over front-engine layouts:
• Uses widely-available FWD drivetrains
• Uses existing FWD engine knowledge
• Drivetrain is used as-is
• Rear exhaust means a large and comfortable foot well
• Rear weight bias improves braking and acceleration.
• Full-size foot wells due to no driveshaft
• Independent rear suspension gives a smooth ride
• Low front weight equates to lighter steering
• Triangulated front bay provides high torsional rigidity
• Front locking storage area
• Oil pan is protected by the frame rails
• Minimum composite
• Uses stock Miata suspension uprights and rack
• Integrated SCCA-legal roll cage
• High side sills provide side-impact protection
• Protected fuel tank located at CG
• Free heat utilizing radiator exhaust air
• Options for side curtains and roof.
• 1300-1700 pounds depending upon drivetrain
