The Budget Supercar ANYONE Can Afford! We Bought A Turbo 1.8L Miata Powered Exomotive Exocet Racecar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2024
- Our new turbocharged 1.8L Miata engined Exomotive Exocet exoskeleton racecar that is so inexpensive that almost anyone can afford it but drives like a supercar (Lamborghini, Porsche, GTR, McClaren, Ferrari killer?) for a fraction of the price.
The car is based on the affordable Mazda Miata platform by utilizing its suspension and drivetrain but swapping these parts over to a lightweight, but rigid tube frame chassis.
At ~240hp this 1,500-pound road hugger has the power to keep up with the fastest cars on the track and provides one of the rawest driving experiences possible. NO POWER STEERING, NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES / ABS BRAKES, NO TRACTION CONTROL.

---------------------
With 750,000 sold between 1989 and 2005, the Mazda Miata is the bestselling two-seater sports car in history. A reliable, lightweight roadster featuring front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout with a soul that descends from the popular British sports cars of the 60s. There’s a reason we all love it: it really is that good. Just take a look at your local track on any given weekend.
So what is the problem with the Miata? Truthfully, not much. That’s why it makes an excellent platform for a new exoskeletal kit car. Designer Stuart Mills had very clear design goals from the beginning of the Exocet project: easy to build, lightweight, low cost and massive fun. A brilliant concept aimed at the novice car builder.
For 2013 and beyond, Exomotive has taken the Exocet concept to the next level by completely re-engineering the chassis for improved rigidity, safety and build time. Every single tube and panel has been redesigned using the latest CAD software and extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to eliminate weak points, improve stiffness and optimize weight. New front and rear bulkhead designs, stressed driveshaft cover, gusset plates, triangulation tubes, integral rollbar design, revised tubing wall thicknesses, a boxed-in engine bay, and a revised floor that now functions as a loadpath between the subframes and suspension points all contribute to an over 300% torsional stiffness improvement compared to the previous model.
In addition to the Miata powertrain, the new Exocet has been designed with LSx V8 power in mind. Improved front bulkhead, floor, and transmission cover design allow for exciting options like an LS3/T56 with a Ford 8.8 or CTS-V rear end. Bolt on your Monster Miata, V8 Roadsters or Boss Frog V8 subframe kit and you can create something that will truly scare you. Even a relatively modest LSx build would put you at a power-to-weight ratio similar to the current crop of hypercars - and the new chassis can handle it!

the song in the beginning is trash.
certoner I almost skipped the video because of that song. Nvm guy can’t even put a 5 point harness on... Video is trash as well.
That music (not music) makes me sick. I too wanted to skip due to the trash sounds.
Song was a poor choice in hindsight lol
Y'all should also get a racing go kart. That's a good yard for one.
+CasualKarting might get torn up a little bit but that would be cool!
We'll have to check out your channel for some videos on that 👍👍
TheSundaeDrive thank you I really appreciate that and a few ruts in the yard are totally work the amount of fun you can have with them!
i would buy one of those kits if they made it for a honda, but with a mid-engine setup, maybe someone can inspire the company to make one the will suit a mid k-serie motor. they will get a lot of sells from it i think.
That would be extremely sweet! Little more powerful motor and some additional weight over the rear wheels
there is ls3 ones and k seires ones
This is AMAZING!
Thanks :)
did the windshield come with the kit?
This would look awsome in green
+5.7 Chevy the green machine! We may change up the color at some point but we'll see 👍👍
Or maybe camo 🤔
AWESOME!!!!
I would love to build one with a honda motor.
You are from NJ. I'm also from NJ. You probably know by now that raceway park is close to drag racing. No more dragracing in Englishtown🙁🙁
+Frank M Tech that does stink! We are further south so we have the atco drag strip nearby. Which Honda motor would you go with?
TheSundaeDrive Honda S2000 full swap. Meaning engine, trans, and rear diff.. Bigger motor and better platform. 😉👍🏽
I use to live in Willingboro NJ. Years ago. Now, i'm back here in central Jersey.
Welcome back! That would be a cool setup. You'll have a bit more power than the stock miata motor. Would you plan to turbo it?
"ANYONE Can Afford" right in the title, and zero mention of cost. Yeah I see it's red. Tell us something useful.
Pre built ones run 15-25 depending on upgrades and the motor. I think the frame and hardware is about 10 plus a donor car
The Sundae Drive 10, as in $10,000? That isn’t cheap, Webster.
Shawn Matthews. Realistically, for a car, 10k is cheap. And especially for what you’re getting here. “Zero mention of cost” well fuck, can’t you just look it up in like 2 seconds?
Love it!!
+Sheffield Kaelin we do too!
How much this cost total?
Building to this level would probably be about 25-30K in parts and the kit
Hey, guys.excellent. buggy. is it your own?in my town buggy not sold, I want this to build in my garage,will you help me measure the dimensions of the frame ? please I really want to do ,don't leave me unanswered
We purchased it from #exomotive exocet. It can be ordered online. They should have dimensions on their website.
Any specific measurements that you might need we can help you with though so let us know.
I can not order it, I live very far, it will cost me very much, I'll ask you to measure me some frame sizes if it's not difficult for you, how can I find you in social networks? what is your mail? so I can send you a photo with the right size for me
I can not order it, I live very far, it will cost me very much, I'll ask you to measure me some frame sizes if it's not difficult for you, how can I find you in social networks? what is your mail? so I can send you a photo with the dimensions that I need
my friend,I did not find on their website the dimensions of the frame, on the website there are only photos,you can measure the dimensions?can you make me a drawing of the frame?I really want to make it.how to contact you? give me your mail I'll write to you. my mail magmus1987@mail.ru
Did you, at the Sunday drive, make that song?
Haha no. A friend did.
I couldn't make it past the crap music. sorry.
Lol don't blame you. Early days of editing and we were figuring things out
German gouverment would jail me for just asking i guess
Lol trying to get one?
Should have just bought a 1.8 miata and turbo it yourself for 3 grand and it was make 300 easily.
Yes, 300hp is technically possible, but not reliable. The number we provided was whp, so this is probably making somewhere around 265bhp at the crank. A stock Miata without a turbo weighs around ~2300lb (more with a turbo). This Exocet weighs closer to 1600lbs. That's a 30% decrease in weight which can be considered a 30% increase in power, meaning it drives more like a Miata with ~340bhp. That's not even considering the added benefits of quicker stopping, better handling, less stress on the brakes, and it being an all-around better car to race. A Miata simply cannot compete with this vehicle with regards to the driving experience it provides.
Is it street legal?.
+KingMustang3XVII it was street legal in Alabama. It has everything needed. We just have to work on getting it registered in NJ
They are street legal in New Jersey. You have to tittle it as a “dune buggy”.
Could of sr20 swapped
True although for $$ and abundance of cheap parts I’d probably opt for an LS
I’ve seen people put Chevy 3.6L V6s in there too to make an easy 300hp for cheap
monkey music stopped me from watching this
Yeah, poor music choice from our early UA-cam days lol
How much did you pay for it?
Fully assembled is far cheaper than building it yourself. Fully assembled it has about 28K in parts. We paid much less than that
It looks pretty slow to be honest!
+broller10 pretty decent in a straight line but has a low trap speed because of all the drag. What it excels at is autocross. The handling is extremely tight and.
The Sundae Drive I was totally kidding. Cliff you are bold for taking that for your first autocross event though. An Pete still beat you.
Are you offering to be our best friend?
Muito top!
Yo the intro song is super fuckin cringy foo
Why do all these kit car videos feature shit music?
I feel less of a man listening to that terrible opening rap song
Lol 🤣 probably could have picked some better music for the opening
Supercar?
That's stupid claim!
Lol maybe. But depending on the motor you swap in this can out perform just about anything at the track and dominates autocross. It may loose a little in the straightaways but makes up for it in maneuverability on the turns. We've kept up with significantly more expensive vehicles at track events.
Music sucks
Lol one of our old vids. We've picked better songs 😝
