Over the course of automotive history, there has been a British tradition of ultralight sports cars. Vehicles like the Lotus 7 and Ariel Atom were small, compact vehicles with incredible power and agility. Today we get a look at a beautiful machine that takes inspiration from those icons. Let us introduce you to this stunning 2009 Brooke Cosworth Double R Roadster.
This eye-catching roadster is crafted with a tubular spaceframe chassis boasting a bonded composite seating tub. In all, the car weighs just 1,124 pounds, while the 400 horsepower supercharged Duratec inline-four provides ample power equivalent to modern supercars and superbikes.
With a 0-60 mph time of under three seconds, this bad boy is capable of keeping up with some of the fastest cars on the road. It’s also quite sleek with an open-wheel and open cab design. This 2009 Double R has barely been driven, rocking hand-polished, bare aluminum bodywork inspired by Formula One cars of the ’50s and ’60s. Oh, and it’s also just one of only fifteen made.
