Can anyone name a few midengine kitcars

Hi,

I'm looking for a mid engined kit car (with it's own non donor chassis)
Where a transversely mounted Honda V6 could be fitted.

Only ones i can find are.
Aeon
K1 Attack (but they don't sell the kit anymore)
and a Stratos replica

any others??

The Shelsley T2 world fit that engine in, itwas originally designed for the rover kv6 and with the latest chassis the engine bay is even bigger

There's the Phantom GTR/Vortex or whatever its called now, think it's been resurrected as a kit.

GTM Libra could take the KV6 so maybe the Honda?? although saying that it looks like the Libra may be dufunct (retrofit maybe)

There isn't much really, I would say even the Stratos reps need to have an italian V6 in them so even they would be out.

Ah i see,
Although mounts could be modified, the chassis would off course need to have great handling and handle 450 +- HP and the torque of the V6.

I think the i read some where the Aeon could only take 320 hp.
