The Type 9R is a Lotus Seven Inspired Kitcar, designed by MAC#1 Motorsports to utilise Japanese motorbike engines and reap the benefits of the six-speed sequential gearbox, 10000 rpm limit and achieve a 0 to 60 speed of under 4
seconds – an exhilarating drive!
The evolution of the Type 9R brings:
Advantageous positioning of powerplant, providing simpler fitting and weight reduction.
Improved handling through high specification suspension.
Driver comfort increased through better component positioning and high specification flexible engine mounts.
Creation of a better overall weight balance within the car, improving handling, stability and performance.
This model is available in two forms:
Kit Format
All MAC#1 Motorsports kits have been developed with the customer in mind and can be constructed using basic tools, minimal mechanical knowledge and in a space no bigger than an average sized garage by you at home.
Broken down into relevant stages, the packs enable you to budget for time, money and space, ensuring all components are on hand when you want them.

For those of us who do not have the time or space to build our own, a Factory Built car is a great alternative. Collect your hand-built car from our factory, fully registered and ready to go.
The MAC#1 Type 9R kit has been deigned to take on average 150 hours to complete. You need:
A garage
A tool kit
Time!
A few friends to help
