Place the V8 from the Holden Monaro into a lightweight Caterham style body and you have Australia's latest supercar, the Elfin MS8. Available in Clubman (convertible) or Streamliner (coupe) formats, the MS8 boasts a superb 371 bhp/ton power to weight ratio, giving lively acceleration and a 186mph max, not to mention the loudest engine noise this side of F1.
Unfortunately the Elfin's huge power is too much for it's chassis, resulting in 'spirited' handling. This is disappointing considering Elfin's recognised motorsport pedigree. It's also expensive at £42,000 when compared to rivals from Caterham, Westfield and Ariel, which offer at least as much performance for less money.
