Westfield vs Caterham ( (3261 words)
Westfield are less forthcoming with weights, presumably because it is so spec dependant but they do say that their MegaBusa and Fireblade cars have a weight of 440kgs.
Westfield have developed their own rather excellent independent rear suspension (referred to in 7 circles as the rather cryptic “IRS”!) Caterham, on the other hand, have refused to do this saying that their De-Dion semi independent system is perfectly adequate for such a lightweight design.
The MegaBusa on the track was far less forgiving and although awesome in terms of outright performance, was nowhere near as friendly as the little 7.
Westfield Cars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (280 words)
Westfield Sportscars are manufacturers of both factory built and kit versions of several two-seater, open top sportscars.
Westfield prefers to employ the same glass fibre body method that Lotus has traditionally used for their other models such as the Elise, Esprit, and Elan, rather than the aluminium used by Caterham.
Westfield has also pioneered technical innovations such as Independent rear suspension and wider chassis, which other manufacturers have since adopted.
