What makes a Rush different to the other Lotus 7 inspired sportscars?
The Dax Rush is visually more squared-off and wider than most se7ens. It has been described as “A Lotus on steroids”. Rushes have a larger and squarer nose aperture than most se7ens, tyre-hugging front cycle wings and huge rear arches. There is just a touch of hotrod about it, although the effect is slight. Builders can opt for a more custom look with rectangular headlamps, an asymmetric rollbar and wild colours, or a more traditional look with round headlamps, symmetric rollbar and a classic colour scheme. Most Rushes are built with high-power engines. The chassis is built to take insane levels of power and torque from highly tuned turbos and V8s. Just witness the company demonstrators; most have 300bhp plus under the bonnet! You can build a Rush with a 1600cc Pinto, but not many builders take this route. Each Dax Rush is different. Unlike many recent Caterhams and Westfields, which are almost indistinguishable from each other, every Rush is a statement of the builders individuality.
