[:de]Er steht für eines der puristischsten und kompromisslosesten Sportwagen-Konzepte, die es jemals gab: der Lotus Seven. Der Roadster mit vorne freistehenden Rädern besitzt ein extrem geringes Gewicht von nur 750 Kilogramm. Die Briten bauten den Wagen von 1957 bis 1972. Doch danach starb das Modell nicht aus. Caterham erhielt die offiziellen Produktionsrechte und baut den Seven bis heute. Und auch andere Hersteller bauen oder bauten in der Vergangenheit Replikas, die dem Konzept folgen. So etwa der 77, welchen VM bis 2010 baute. Ein Exemplar dessen wurde nun mit einem Satz Barracuda Racing Wheels ausgerüstet.

Dank eines Gitterrohrahmens und zahlreicher GFK-Leichtbauteile wiegt der VM 77 sogar nur 550 Kilogramm, womit er in nur 5,3 Sekunden auf 100 km/h beschleunigt. Der Zweiliter-Vierzylinder ist durch 40er Weber-Doppelvergaser aufgewertet. Um das fahrdynamische Potenzial optisch zu unterstreichen sind an beiden Achsen Barracuda Karizzma-Felgen in den Dimensionen 7,5×17 Zoll (225 Euro) mit dem Finish Mattblack-Puresports montiert. Sie kommen in Verbindung mit H&R-Distanzscheiben (225 Euro/Set) zum Einsatz und sind mit Reifen in 205/40R17 und 225/35 R17 (750 Euro/Satz) bezogen. Die Zulassung der Rad/Reifen-Kombination geschah per Sondereintragung (300 Euro).

[:en]The Lotus Seven stands for one of the most puristic and uncompromising sports car concepts ever. This roadster with free-standing wheels in front weighs in at a mere 750 kilograms. The British firm made the cars from 1957 to 1972. However, the model did not then die out entirely. Caterham was granted official production rights and has continued to build the Seven right up to the present day. Other manufacturers also make replicas, or have made them in the past, that adhere to the same concept, such as the 77, which VM built until 2010. One such specimen has now been equipped with a set of Barracuda Racing Wheels.

Thanks to a space frame and many lightweight GRP components, the VM 77 only weighs 550 kilograms, enabling it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 5.3 seconds. The two-liter four-cylinder engine is enhanced by Weber 40s (dual carburetor). In order to visibly highlight the dynamic performance potential, 7.5×17” Barracuda Karizzma rims (€225) with a Mattblack-Puresports finish are mounted on both axles. They are used in combination with H&R spacers (€225/set) and are equipped with 205/40R17 and 225/35R17 tires (€750/set). Approval for this wheel-tire combination was achieved by means of a special registration (€300).
