Grabercars
La Bala
The
La Bala from US based Grabercars is a lightweight sports car designed around
the Toyota MR2 drivetrain - although other drivetrain options can be used.
The
car was conceived as a light weight performance vehicle with attractive
styling, and crucially, low cost. The La Bala's creator, Steve Graber, designed
the car as his own personal vehicle. However the plans are available for others
to follow and create their own "La Bala". The plans include chassis
and suspension plans, parts list, and assembly guide. Also on offer are a range
of precut and formed chassis members, body panels, body shells and complete
chassis packs. The entire car can also be ordered and delivered in a crate
ready for assembly.
Grabercars
are currently developing a La Bala model which is powered by, not one, but two
1300 cc Suzuki Hayabusa bike engines. This drivetrain would create around 500
horsepower and incorporate a 6 speed sequential transmission with electric
reverse.
