is the work of the ex-technical director of Caterham, Jez Coates
and entrepreneur Nic Strong. The Zolfe has been put together by
several companies that include Stadco, MTCE, AP Racing, Simpact,
Powertorque Engineering, Avon Tyres and KN Engineering. It's a back
to basics true sports car, with little in the way of comforts,
however it's designed to be a lightweight road legal track car and
has a 2.0 Ford unit with 170+bhp on tap, with a power to weight
ratio of about 8. Supercar numbers ,combine for V8 like performance
and mind-numbing handling. This Zolfe is one of only a very few to
be legally titled for USA road use. Stadco are a tier one supplier
to the high volume car industry with customers that include Land
Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Ford. Stadco have engineered and
set-up North American production of the Ford GT, the recent
re-incarnation of the multiple Le Mans winning icon, the Ford GT40.
The GT's aluminium space frame is testimony to Stadco's wide
ranging capability in vehicle structure design. Simpact provides
specialized computer aided engineering and 3D digitization and has
provided specialty design for companies such as Lotus, Chevron,
Caterham and Lola. Simpact's computer model allows optimization of
chassis structure, permitting proper gauge and diameter of every
tube in the structure. This eliminates redundant tubes that offer
no benefit to the chassis and ensures maximum torsional stiffness,
crash prediction, and improvement of crashworthiness of the chassis
structure, while limiting unnecessary weight. Multimatic has four
operating groups that provide products for the automotive industry
and has provided expertise for four different Formula 1 teams. With
Zolfe, Multimatic was engaged in the suspension design and geometry
for optimal handling performance. Multimatic's state-of-the-art
manufacturing facilities provide a wide range of capabilities that
can be tailored to meet any product configuration and process
requirement. In-process verification techniques are employed at all
production stages to ensure "built-in" quality, from the first to

requirements. Multimatic boasts an outstanding quality record
having received the highest level awards from its customers
