What a WILD ride! - A day with the Lotus 7 by Birkin

The 580kg Lotus 7 by Birkin is easily the most outrageous and extreme car we have ever featured on the Roads Way South channel. At the same time, it has reminded us that you don’t always need fancy gadgets or a massive engine to make a car fun. Will we ever be able to top this road legal track toy? Only time will tell…
Special thanks to Rameez for this brilliant experience!
Also, thanks to James and Branden for helping me film throughout the day and keeping me company. 😉
Go check out "Jaymo's Autos" for great deals on their wide range of preowned cars. Without them, this video would not have been possible.

Super cool guy had a chat with them about their beach buggie thats what we love cool chill dudes just wanting to enjoy their cars and showing us too.

[@roadswaysouth]

Mitts off the windscreen!

[@darrensimons1529]

They're such a weapon. I have driven the the 270s, 310s and the 420r. I can honestly say it really doesn't matter which one, they're all great. The middle of the range is enough for anybody ;)

[@roadswaysouth]

That's great! Again, it shows that with low weight and a small frame, any amount of power can be fun

[@collection1068]

Is100/100 car made by south Africa🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@specs8404]

That is my dream car!!

[@nielmoses2478]

Awesome video. You should check out Harper Sports Cars based in Kommetjie. You'll be surprised by the Harper Type 5

[@roadswaysouth]

Thanks Niel! I actually follow them on Instagram and I really like the cars they put together. I even caught one on the Killarney circuit 2 videos after this one 🔥🔥

[@zuhairedwards9058]

Awesome vid! Where’s the road that you were driving on

[@roadswaysouth]

Thank you very much! We were on Table Mountain road in Cape Town. It's a great road, but it's usually very busy

[@grahamrobertson8254]

Nice video. Thanks! Can it really be 140kw? Is it not 140hp?

[@roadswaysouth]

Thank you very much! Yeah the power figures are basically the same as my Toyota GT86. I have 147kw and 205Nm torque.
