A Locost is a home-built clone of the Lotus Seven. The car features a space frame chassis usually weled together from mild steel 1x1" (25x25 mm) square tubing. Front suspension is usually double wishbone with coil overs. The rear is traditionally live axle, but has many variants including independent rear suspension or De Dion tube. Body panels are usually fiberglass nose and wings and aluminium side panels. Each car is highly individualized according to the resources, needs and desires of each respective builder.
