This is a homebuilt, I believe.
Called the "Zot2 EV (Electric Vehicle)" powered by a 96Volt LiFePO4, and is it based off a Lotus chassis?

I believe you're right about the name but I'm away from home at the moment without my files.
Back on Friday!  I think I might be looking for a bit more information though for the point so it gives you the time to dig into it and see what you can find.

You've given most of the info, although I don't know if it actually used an Lotus bits, more that the shape was inspired by one.
If you can tell me who built it (and where) I can give you a point and move it.
Locked for you!

I have no idea of the builders' name but it is located in Oshawa, ON., Canada.
I do however know that it is a replica of the "Merlyn Mk4T".
Also, he does have a site with specs (which is where I got the info).

OK, I'll give you that.
The site is actually named szott which is what I was looking for but I don't suppose that's actually the builder's name.
Please note that links to other sites are not allowed, especially the site which gives the source of the puzzle.
It's essential to read the rules carefully to avoid falling foul of any; they are in a sticky at the top of each board.
1 more point for you.
